- Article15
Two sorcerers: Congolese performer Wilfried Luzele (Lova Lova) and electronic producer GOD3FROY (Gargäntua).
Congo, 1960: South Kasai secedes. Its constitution has only 14 articles. The state is overwhelmed, thousands of civilians are massacred. From this disaster is born an expression that has become part of everyday language: "Article 15", figure out how to live. This new duo took its name and inspiration from it, mixing the energy of the streets of Kinshasa, delivered with fearsome ferocity by the one who calls himself Lova Lova or Master Thunder, with the grimacing synthesizers of Gargäntua's black mage, to ignite the dancefloor and the bodies that inhabit it while facing reality.
- Angry Black Men
Against a backdrop of shattered beats and jerky loops, these two formidable rappers from the Chicago underground scene paint a more than disenchanted picture of the times of Make America Great Again. With a soundtrack as merciless as this observation, immersing the listener in an uncompromising introspection, facing a social and political reality that looks like a dystopia. In other words, abrasive hip-hop boosted by post-industrial sounds that plunges us into the darkest side of systemic racism, telling us the life, and also the opinion, of angry young black men in the land of the greenback.
- Def MaMa Def is a duo of singers and rappers from Dakar that associates Mamy Victory and Defa.
