Fally Ipupa, a well-known Congolese artist, just dropped his debut COLORS rendition of the song “Par Terre.”
The artist serenades his followers by passionately singing in his distinctive, rhythmic way while set against a striking, vibrant blue background. The entire show is representative of the Ipupa’s distinctive musical style, which gives the classic Congolese rumba a fresh new look. Ipupa’s heartfelt, distinctive Lingala lyrics are put to an upbeat, guitar-heavy backdrop by the COLORS studio, which is both touching and pleasant.
Fally Pupa’s career as a member of the popular Congolese band Quartier Latin International began in the late 1990s. In 2006, the musician from Kinshasa made the decision to pursue music on his own and put out his solo debut album, Droit Chemin. The body of work would serve as the foundation for Ipupa’s ascent to the status of one of the most renowned and revered musicians in both Congolese music and all of Africa.
Since then, he has put forth remarkable works that have won him the respect and adoration of music aficionados throughout. He is one of the most sought-after African performers thanks to his distinctive sound and magnetism. Arsenal de Belles Melodies (2009), Power ‘Kosa Leka’ (2013), Tokooos (2017), Control (2018), and Tokoos II are some of his best-known albums.
