Filmed live concert of Koffi Olomidé at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, marking his 70th birthday, in 2026. An essential figure of Congolese rumba and soukous, the Kinshasa artist celebrates several decades of career surrounded by his orchestra, the Quartier Latin International. This live capture conveys the fervour of a major diaspora gathering — cult songs, frenetic dancing and the festive atmosphere typical of great Congolese concerts. The full concert highlights Koffi’s recognisable voice, the virtuoso guitar playing that defines the genre and the collective energy of the ensemble. A precious document for discovering the richness of modern Congolese music, part of Central Africa’s cultural heritage, carried here by one of its most famous ambassadors before a jubilant crowd. Long established between Kinshasa and Europe, Koffi Olomidé remains one of the most influential African artists of recent decades. This anniversary concert, filmed in a large European stadium, attests to the vitality of the Congolese diaspora and its attachment to rumba. An ideal live capture for exploring an essential strand of contemporary world music.
