Fulu Miziki, a collective from Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), have taken the music scene by storm with their wild, Afrofuturistic sound. They create music using instruments made by hand from plastic bottles, cans, and old pipes, turning them into drums, guitars, and percussion instruments. Their name means literally “music from trash” and perfectly encapsulates their wild ingenuity and the message that everything can be recycled and every object you come across has the potential to become something new.

During their show on the outdoor stage in the Adam Mickiewicz Park, they will combine punk, electronic and industrial soukous* to create a unique, energetic show. Fulu Miziki’s music is a manifesto of ecology and artistic freedom.

* soukous is a musical style originating in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It combines rhythmic, dance sounds with elements of rumba and African music. It is fast paced, with melodic guitars and hypnotic rhythms that make you want to dance.
