Known as the virtuoso guitarist in the famous Congolese band Wenge Musica (Maison Mère), which notably accompanied the singer Werrason, Flamme Kapaya is also talented composer, arranger and singer. The release of his first solo album, recorded in Kisangani, comes at a time when he has gained international recognition for his musical work in theatre (Comédie Française, Festival d’Avignon), cinema (Viva Riva ! by Djo Munga) and modern dance, with a distinction at the 2012 Bessie Awards in New York. Influenced by the ndombolo rhythm of Congo as well as George Benson and Jimi Hendrix, Flamme Kapaya presents an original album reflecting his amazing stage presence.
