Pierre Kwenders shares a new song and announces the album launch of Le Dernier Empereur Bantou

Pierre Kwenders will present songs from Le Dernier Empereur Bantou on October 14 at Centre PHI. He will be playing with musicians Julien Sagot and Daniel Leznoff and the event is free.

Watch the album teaser and listen to the new song Mardi Gras. You can also pre-order the album on bandcamp and on iTunes.

The singer explores an innovative path using progressive music flavoured with Congolese rumba and Afro-electro beats. Chosen as one of Radio-Canada's 2014-2015 Révélations in the world music category, the Montrealer of Congolese origin puts together all kinds of sounds and rhythms. Le Dernier Empereur Bantou was recorded over two years in Washington D.C, Nova Scotia and Montreal, and includes collaborations with Jacobus (Radio Radio), Baloji and The Posterz. Nom de Plume and Poirier also participated in the making of this eagerly awaited full-length debut album.
