“With MAISHA, we want to establish our
musical identity, we don't want to limit ourselves in our creations, lock ourselves into a style of music.

Our influences come both from the traditional music of our country, and from Africa in general, whether it is the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti or the music of Fatoumata Diawara. We are this new generation of musicians who have access via Youtube or Spotify to all the music in the world, our music is therefore a mixture of all these influences. It is the same for the artists with whom we want to work, our visuals and our clips are produced by Primo Mauridi from Goma, our album is mixed in Paris by Yarol Poupaud and mastered in Los Angeles by Mario Caldato. For the texts, we write in Swahili, Lingala, Kimongo, Kikongo or Tshiluba, again no borders! »
