Congolese singer Bantunani

« Next Generation », « Reality » and “Francofolie », such are the new singles of the rd-congolese musician artist Bantunani, who signs his comeback in the musical arena.

It’s a thunderous comeback from Michel Nzau dit Bantunani following the success of the single « Superstar ». The so-called Afropolitan has launched 3 new singles including the highly anticipated title ” Next Generation » which is already experiencing a certain radiophonic thrill. The release of these three singles (« Next Generation », « Reality » et « Francofolie »), announces a rupture in the production of the singer.

This album of all colors will be marked by meetings between Bantunani and some big names in world music, including TJ Routon, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Sam Wheat, Amy Winehouse and John Legend. “Influences like the sounds of the collaborations are heard, the productions are dancing and captivating thanks to melodies carried by my voice which finally dares to challenge the ubiquitous basses and other percussions which remind us that Bantu fusion is also African”, said the artist.

A dancing groove

The two titles « Next Generation » and « The Reality » are tinged with a modern atmosphere between electro-disco and West Coast beat with some trap revivals. They carry a serious message that the world needs to hear. We will have understood it from the first notes. “The musician cannot use arms, he uses words and poetry to defend the common dream of humanity, that of freedom, all the more effective when it is associated with a dancing groove”, confides the musician .

« Next Generation » also takes a moving look at the future with the participation of the artist’s children (instruments, featuring and choirs), an inspiring illustration of artistic filiation. « The Reality », as for him, « shouts in a subterranean and hoarse way the coldness of reality. It borrows the accents of dub from Kingston, the gangsta rap beat of the West Coast, dancehall, reggae, trap intersect with ever more funky pop., he says.
