Fans of Congolese musician Fally Ipupa will know that his success has come from an ability to experiment, a versatility that often pushes the boundaries of traditional rumba towards a fusion with a range of global influences.
On his new album “Tokooos No 2” a follow-up to the original album of the same title of 2017, the Congolese superstar goes all out to embrace a variety of styles, as he fuses his rumba roots with R&B, Hip Hop, Zouk, and even Afrobeats, no doubt as an acknowledgment of the global impact of the latter, a genre that has been championed around the world by a new generation of African acts.
