Bio

Fally Ipupa is a Congolese singer, songwriter, dancer, and producer born in Kinshasa on 14 December 1977. He first rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of the influential band Quartier Latin International before launching a solo career that established him as one of the leading figures in modern Congolese and African music. His work blends ndombolo, rumba congolaise, coupé-décalé, and contemporary R&B, often sung in French, Lingala, and English. Ipupa has released multiple platinum-selling albums and collaborated with both African and international artists, helping to popularize Congolese popular music across francophone Africa and beyond.
