Rene Lokua

RENE LOKUA has quickly established himself as one of the leading lights in the African spiritual music community, only after two successful solo album releases, "Destinee," and a controversial song, "Pesa Mono Passage" from the second album with Prince de Paix. "Pesa Mono Passage" was wrongly believed to be a message to Mobutu's government to clear the path for a change in 1997. Mr. Lokua sings in Lingala, French, and in other Congolese languages, following the footsteps of his brother, the internationally acclaimed singer, Lokua Kanza.

Rene Lokua belongs to the warm, inspirational tenor of Congolese Gospel music. A groundbreaking inspirational, Gospel vocalist, writer, and arranger, who has won hearts of many African music lovers. A multi faceted artist, he not only has a successful recording career, but he also is a great father and husband who is involved in a fellowship in his community.
As a member of a musical family, Rene Lokua’s success is truly a family tradition.
