Barbara Kanam
Barbara Kanam Mutund, known professionally as Barbara Kanam, is a Congolese singer-songwriter, producer, television personality, philanthropist, and politician currently serving as the Director General of the Cultural Promotion Fund. Noted for her coloratura and soprano vocal range, Kanam is considered one of the most influential figures in 21st-century Congolese and African popular music. She sings in French, Swahili, Lingala, and English, often addressing themes such as peace, love, happiness, and women's rights in her lyrics. Born in Bukavu, she gained fame after being spotted by Ivorian reggae singer Alpha Blondy and producer Dodo Koné, who produced her 1999 debut studio album, Mokili. The album's gospel-influenced lead single "Mokili Ekoleka" earned Kanam a television appearance at the Koras Awards. Kanam's second studio album, Téti, released in 2003, won her Most Promising African Female Artist at the 2003 Kora Awards. From Wikipedia (
