about

Relying heavily on the use of plastics as percussion, Amani (meaning 'Peace') in Swahili, is a song about 'Bombe', a dangerous new drug that has been devastating Congo and especially Kinshasa.

Huguette Tolinga is a Congolese singer, percussionist, multi-instrumentalist, and community organizer based in Kinshasa, Congo. Huguette is a critically acclaimed percussionist who has toured all over Europe in experimental percussion groups, often sponsored by the French Institute of Kinshasa. Amani Bombe, Huguette's debut single, released on May 27th via Abu Recordings.

----

Huguette Tolinga chante la paix, Amani en Swahili. C’est son hymne au peuple kinois et aux femmes du pays non suffisamment prises en considération. C’est aussi un beau clin d’oeil au parler populaire de la capitale, le Langila, qui entraine fougueusement par des jongleries entre les langues du pays : Lingala, Tshiluba, Kikongo, Swahili, Mongo etc. Le tout saupoudré de différents mots empruntés à la langue française, pour subtilement en créer des sens propres à Kin’ ! Ainsi le mot « Bombe » repris par la chanteuse et désignant actuellement une drogue qui circule dans la ville, était il y a quelques années, réservé au sportif avec des muscles bien bombés, tel que le grand catcheur Six Bolites ! Huguette reste fidèle à son engagement pour le pays et à sa joie de partager.

Huguette Tolinga signe avec le label Abu Recordings, qui produisent cet opus et son clip. Ce dernier est réalisé par Laetitia Bouzouita et la structure kinoise Zala.

La chanson est également présentée sous différentes versions, stylisées « house » et « amapiano » par Ibn Itaka lui-même, Waleed et boyjane, afin qu’elle fasse vibrer les dance floors du monde direction Nigeria, Afrique du Sud, Europe, Etats-Unis et bien sûr... Kinshasa.
