Fulu Miziki

Working from Kinshasa, Fulu Miziki is developing a collective project at the intersection of Afrofuturism, Afro-punk, Congolese rhythms and electronic music built around urgent percussion, chanted vocals and raw textures. Formed in the Ngwaka neighbourhood, the group makes its instruments, masks and costumes from salvaged materials, grounding its practice in the urban culture of the Congolese capital and an exploration of recycling. Fulu Miziki began attracting attention in the early 2020s with a stage concept as visual as it is rhythmic, conceived as an integrated artistic endeavour rather than simply a concert format. Their debut EP, Ngbaka, was released in 2022, followed by Mokano in 2024, while the singles Seke Bien in 2021, then Pieteron and Pasi na Bisango in 2023, mark milestones in their growing visibility. Organised as a six-member collective, Fulu Miziki moves between international festivals, alternative venues and events dedicated to hybrid music, including an appearance at WOMAD in 2022 and a European tour announced for 2025. Fulu Miziki thus creates physical, polyrhythmic music in which the energy of performance, pan-African legacies and a handcrafted aesthetic form a single language.
