Jupiter Bokondji, the iconic figure from Kinshasa known as the "Rebel General," delivers to the world a unique sound where Congolese roots blend seamlessly with rock, funk, and soul influences. Together with his band, Jupiter & Okwess, he unleashes explosive energy, drawing from the rich musical traditions of his homeland while forging connections between Africa and the world.

After captivating international audiences with "Hotel Univers", "Kin Sonic", and "Na Kozonga", the group now presents their fourth album, "Ekoya" (It Will Come). In this opus, Jupiter invites us to reflect: what does "it will come" mean? Is it a premonition of an inevitable destiny or a kind of fatalism? By introducing female voices into his otherwise allmale group — women who are themselves rebels — Jupiter challenges expectations. Is this a deliberate choice or a twist of fate? Perhaps a bit of both.

This album invites everyone to listen — to others, to nature, to the rumblings of a world in transformation. With the captivating groove of Jupiter & Okwess, *Ekoya* takes us on a musical journey filled with reflection and vibrations, movement and dreams, allowing us to be swept away by its rebellious and universal energy.
