Jupiter & Okwess are fronted by Jupiter Bokondji, who was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. While his lyrics often tackle the serious issues facing that nation, his music – which blends a range of Congolese, American and European influences — is undeniably dance-able and fun. Jupiter & Okwess are touring behind a new album called Na Kozonga, and sharing a live performance of songs from that album with the world & celebrating the summer solstice with fierce energy live from the Cedar stage!
