Inspired by touchstones of Congolese music and film that he observed growing up in the African nation, the Montreal musician continues to blend worldly styles with modern hip-hop and electronica – as well as appearances from guests like Arcade Fire’s Win Butler and the very same African choral group that Kwenders got his own musical start in.
