Baloji



A Congolese, Belgian rapper born in Lubumbashi in 1978 and grew up in Wallonia in crisis... “Over there, I don’t feel totally Congolese and here, I don’t particularly feel Belgian.” This is what his album is about.  About the quest for the identity of a man in his early thirties.  From spiritual soul to mouth drum, his texts reflect all episodes of his life. “The album is my response to a question from [his] biological mother during [their] only telephone conversation in April 2005 ‘What have you been up to over the past 25 years?’”
