NAXX BITOTA - TRADITIONAL DANCES WITH LÉONIE LANGA

Les Étoiles Nuits d’Afrique Series, presented by La Fabrique Culturelle de Télé-Québec

“Her voice is so gentle that, in each of her songs, Naxx Bitota seems to want to take us into her arms,” praised Le Devoir following the launch of her album Kuetu in June 2022. In all her moods, from the most festive to the most melancholic, her voice is remarkable, moving, resounding. Her stage presence is impressive. Naxx Bitota’s joyful spirit embodies the strength and splendour of the Congolese woman. At times she might remind us of Tchala Muana, Queen of Mutuashi. Other times, her Sebene-style rumba takes centre stage, with long, improvised guitar sequences, flirting with the Soukous beat. But Naxx Bitota always adds her personal touch infused to modern Afro-pop, making it all irresistible.
