Fally Ipupa
Fally Ipupa N'simba, known professionally as Fally Ipupa, is a Congolese musician and dancer. Often referred to as the "Prince of Rumba", he is known for his tenor vocals and his fusion of contemporary and traditional Congolese music genres, including Congolese rumba, soukous, and ndombolo. His lyrics often explore themes of romance, suffering, and joy. Born to a Mongo family in Kinshasa, Ipupa made his public musical debut in 1997, at the age of 20, with the Kinshasa-based band Talent Latent. In 1999, he joined Koffi Olomide's Quartier Latin International, and in 2006, he signed a record deal with Obouo Productions for his debut solo studio album, Droit Chemin, which achieved gold status after selling over 100,000 copies within a month. In 2007, he won the Césaire de la Musique prize for Best Male Performer. That same year, he became the first Congolese artist to sell out the Olympia Hall in Paris. In April 2008, Ipupa won the Kundé d'Or for Best Central African Artist. His second studio album, Arsenal de Belles Melodies, included chart-toppers such as "Chaise Électrique" and "Sexy Dance", which became some of his signature songs. The album quickly sold over 100,000 copies.
