Bona Léa + Mahina + Goldenynice + Kynato + Ninette

Fierce, fiery and full of flavour, BONA LÉA was born to deliver mind-blowing experiences on the dancefloors within her sets. She instantly pricks the ears of her audiences with her eclectic selections and is always looking for unique sonorities. She effortlessly shows off her versatility as she embraces a variety of melodies and rhythms with her unbothered attitude. Her musical influences range from Afro Rhythms, Percussions, Broken Rhythmics and Electric Bassy Sounds. She is also the co-founder of the Brussels-based collective Bloom Hill and the creator of the Jabanè Sessions, a safe space for women and non-binary people of colour that pays homage to her Cameroonian heritage, Jabanè meaning sharing in Duàlà.

An actress, painter, and singer, MAHINA is a versatile Belgian artist of Congolese descent. Her music explores an eclectic path where soul, Afrocentric melodies, R&B, reggae, and both acoustic and electronic sounds intertwine, carried by vibrant percussion. Moving between deep introspection, spiritual messages, and enchanting harmonies, MAHINA embodies a distinctly feminine and engaged voice — both innovative and singular that will bewitch you. With MAHINA music becomes a language of truth and elevation. This concert will be an exclusive opportunity to hear her brand-new EP ZAZA, set to be released in August. An inner quest through love, faith, vulnerability, and resilience.

Behind GOLDENYNICE is Eunice Batha, the founder of the Sound ‘n Souls Festival. Yaoundé-born and Brussels-based, GOLDENYNICE explores the vastness of Afro-diasporic rhythms through the lens of contemporary electronic sounds. Blending her cultural influences, she weaves together afro-rooted styles into seamless, borderless sets where percussion meets club culture. As she continues to refine her sonic identity, she approaches music as a space for connection, collective healing, and shared celebration.

KYNATO’s rise is quite dizzying. Less than a year after the release of her debut single Love, her second title, the catchy Canalise has racked up over 100,000 streams on Spotify. Far from limiting herself to a single genre, KYNATO is like a sponge, absorbing all the sounds around her to craft a sonic universe centered on her voice. And what a voice! A deep, spellbinding voice, punctuated by high-pitched bursts, which she modulates like an instrument, shifting between rage and tenderness, between shadow and light. On stage, she exudes incredible charisma with shows that mirror her music videos, revealing an immersive world with a hyper-polished aesthetic. Spotted by the Sound’n Souls Festival, endorsed by Davinhor, she will join the Niveau4 project at Couleur Café on June 27 before captivating the Vaux-Hall with a full set. A gem to definitely keep an eye on!

NINETTE is a prime and precocious teenage DJ from Antwerp with Congolese roots. Her passion for DJ-ing sparked in 2022 during a workshop with Blck Mamba and she's been unstoppable ever since! With a background in dance, NINETTE has a natural feel for rhythm, aiming to create spaces where people feel safe and compelled to dance. Her sets blend Afro-electronic sounds like Afro Tech, Amapiano, Gqom, and Afro House, bringing fresh, vibrant energy to the nightlife scene. After setting the La Plancha stage at Couleur Café ablaze on June 26, she’ll be igniting the dancefloor at Vaux-Hall, accompanied by an MC and two dancers. Be ready to jump around and dance!
