Artist Biography
Backed by his longtime band, Okwess, Jupiter Bokondji creates a vibrant Afro-pop amalgam that encompasses styles like Congolese rhumba, kwassa kwassa, and cavacha as well as Western guitar-driven rock and funk music. Although the group has been active since 1990, it wasn't until 2006 that Jupiter & Okwess gained international recognition thanks to the French-made documentary Jupiter's Dance. In the years that followed, they released several acclaimed albums, including 2017's Kin Sonic and 2021's No Kozonga, collaborating along the way with a wide range of artists from Damon Albarn to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
