Dena Mwana — Live Concert in Kinshasa, 2023

Full live concert by Congolese gospel singer Dena Mwana, filmed in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) for the second edition of her evangelical concert, released in 2023. A leading voice of French- and Lingala-language gospel, Dena Mwana delivers a full show of praise and worship blending songs in French and Lingala: “L’Éternel est Bon”, “Je Bénirai L’Éternel”, “Bolingo Na Yo”, “Emmanuel”, “Nzambe Monene”, “Saint Esprit” and her anthem “Jesus ou Rien”, interspersed with spontaneous worship and medleys. Backed by a full band, choirs and a fervent audience, the artist offers an evening where spiritual intensity meets the melodic richness of Congolese music. Filmed in her home city, this recording conveys the scale of an African gospel concert and the intensity of collective communion. One of the most followed gospel artists in Central Africa, Dena Mwana is known for songs that move fluidly between contemplative worship and exuberant celebration, carried by her expressive voice and a tight band and choir. Filmed over roughly an hour and a half, this full show is a rich entry point into contemporary francophone praise music. A reference live filmed concert to discover Kinshasa’s gospel scene and Dena Mwana’s repertoire.
