His most recent album released in 2021 entitled Moko, meaning “one” in Lingala, celebrates Lokua’s return to the stage after an 11-year hiatus. He will share music and talk with Banning Eyre (Afropop Worldwide, NPR) about his prolific career and the process of making the new album, which involved 100 musicians and 20 recording studios across 12 countries on 5 continents. Lokua will also answer questions from attendees.
