Fally Ipupa « Coming to the Americas Tour »

Fally Ipupa brings his Coming To The Americas Tour to Montréal with a show at Centre Bell on November 5, 2026. Born in Kinshasa, he first made his mark within Koffi Olomidé’s Quartier Latin before stepping out solo in the mid-2000s. Since Droit Chemin, Arsenal de Belles Mélodies and Power Kosa Leka, he has built a sound rooted in rumba congolaise and ndombolo, carried by soukous-inspired guitars and a feel for melody. With Tokooos and Control, then Tokooos II and Formule 7, he pushed further into an afro‑urban blend, weaving pop, R’n’B and hip-hop without losing the pulse of Kinshasa.

On stage, expect a live band that shifts from slow-burning rumba ballads to uptempo ndombolo, hooks sung in Lingala and refrains made for call-and-response. The set draws across his catalogue, from early staples to more recent tracks, moving between sleek urban productions and organic guitar lines. Installed between Kinshasa and Paris and known for collaborations across Africa and the francophone scene, Fally Ipupa brings a repertoire where romance, groove and dance floor energy share the same space, tailored for a large-venue moment at Centre Bell in Montréal.
