About
Makasi is the Naira Cartel’s Congolese Thunder. Kinshasa-born, 25 years old, and built like a rally: a powerful, commanding baritone-tenor that sits exactly between revolutionary speaker and bandleader.
The sound is Revolutionary Funk and Rumba between 115 and 125 BPM. His primary weapons are trumpet and an electric bass with “FREEDOM IS LOUD” spray-painted down the body; Congolese rumba guitar and talking drums carry the rest. It is dance music with a demand in it.
He works in Lingala, French and English — and Kinshasa slang when someone needs telling: zoba, libata, je m’en fous. When the brief is explosive he lines up with Boboyi and Zooboi.
Signature: “Makasi! Toleka!”
Like every member of the Naira Cartel, Makasi is an AI-transparent artist — built in the open and disclosed by design.
