Bio­gra­phie

Balo­ji is a poet, com­po­ser- lyri­cist, script­wri­ter, actor and per­for­mer, video artist and sty­list. After the release of his album Hotel Impa­la (2008) his Con­go­le­se reinter­pre­ta­ti­on (Kin­sha­sa Suc­cur­sa­le, 2011) was award­ed 4 stars by the world’s press. Balo­ji means “man of sci­ence” in Swa­hi­li, but during the colo­ni­al peri­od that mea­ning shifted to “man of the occult sci­en­ces and sorcery”. By pla­cing his resi­li­ence at the cent­re of his work he recon­ci­les all the­se influen­ces to enrich his projects.
