Karibu Ya Bintou

One of our favourite artists Baloji has been touring worldwide and blazing the trail for his phenomenal mix of Congolese soukous, hip hop and soul with his band L'Orchestre de la Katuba. Upcoming dates include some major North American festivals, a return to Belgium and his UK debut at Rich Mix on a Blaze Festival bill with Fatoumata Diawara (18 July). Watch the video for the incendiary track ‘Karibu Ya Bintou’ (featuring Konono No. 1) from the album Kinshasa Succursale and catch Baloji live. Baloji – summer tour 2011 30 June 2011 MONTREAL (CA) Festival International de Jazz01 July 2011 MONTREAL (CA) Festival International de Jazz02 July 2011 NEW YORK (US) Weeksville03 July 2011 NEW YORK (US) Summerstage 07 July 2011 CHICAGO (US) Millenium Park08 July 2011 MADISON (US) Free Festival09 July 2011 CHICAGO (US) Old Town School12 July 2011 OTTAWA (CA) Ottawa Blues13 July 2011 QUEBEC (CA) Festival d'Eté14 July 2011 QUEBEC (CA) Festival d'Eté 16 July 2011 LOS ANGELES (US) Grand Performances18 July 2011 LONDON (UK) Rich Mix, Blaze Festival24 July 2011 GAND (BE) Gentse Feesten29 July 2011 GAND (BE) Zebrastraat30 July 2011 BRUGES (BE) Kinkers Festival15 Aug 2011 OSTENDE (BE) Paulusfeesten www.baloji.com/blog More on Mondomix: Back To The Future – interview with Baloji
