Charming visiting French-Congolese singer Rene Tshiakanyi will perform at Yossi's in Glenwood for one evening show only on December 10. Singing both in French and English, he describes his music and compositions as a mixture of classic pop; RnB; reggae and Zouk (which is a mixture of French and Caribbean music). His sound is undeniably distinctive. His debut single La presse s’efface celebrates those journalists who have given their lives in the DRC to the pursuit and ideals of media freedom. He pays tribute to other journalists around the world who feel compelled to do the same, in the pursuit of both truth and freedom of expression. It was nominated in the U.K twice as videochocwavesawards by the English magazine the NME Music. Rene Tshiakanyi is now promoting the coming of his debut album.
Ever the proactive instigator of community initiatives, Darryl Hofmann is delighted to provide a platform for Tshiakanyi at his Glenwood eatery. Rene Tshiakanyi will perform at 20h00 on December 10 at Yossi’s. Tickets R30 at the door.
