Pierre Kwenders announces the release of his new album and shares a music video
September 2017 will mark the return of Pierre Kwenders, a torchbearer of today’s new wave of African artists. Now, the Afro-Canadian singer-songwriter unveils his music video for Sexus Plexus Nexus, the second single off his sophomore album, MAKANDA at The End of Space, the Beginning of Time, due out on September 8th via Bonsound. The song premiered two weeks ago on CBC Radio 2’s The Strombo Show.
Watch and share the video for Sexus Plexus Nexus via YouTube. Pierre Kwenders’ new album is available now for preorder on all digital platforms.
Directed by duo Epher Heilland, the video is a true celebration. The idea was to recreate the ambience and dances in Kinshasa, Pierre explains. The vibe of a street fair where you go with your family to celebrate until the wee hours. Listening to the song and partying, you never want it to end, all that celebration of love.
Pierre Kwenders will hit the road again this summer for a tour throughout Quebec and the rest of Canada. The singer-songwriter just came back from a successful European tour with Mozart's Sister and POP Montreal, and made stops in Paris, London and Glasgow, among other cities.
Don't miss his new album launch show in Montreal on September 13th at the PHI Centre. Tickets are on sale online.
