Renowned Congolese popstar Fally Ipupa will finally be in the country this December.
International events promoter, Aly Allibhai had tried to bring the multi-award winning artiste last year but the deal failed.
However, EagleOnline can reveal that the ‘Original’ hitmaker will be here in December thanks to Nile Breweries. He has been lined up among the performers at Club Mega Fest, Arua.
Apparently, the needed paperwork is done and all that is left is waiting for December. Adverts promoting the fete are set to begin running soon, the sponsors say.
The 39-year-old singer was a member of Koffi Olomidé’s Quartier Latin International band from 1999 until 2006.
His first solo album was Droit Chemin released in 2006, which went on to sell over 100,000 units, and his second album Arsenal de Belles Melodies (A2BM) was released in 2009. In 2007, Ipupa won the Kora Awards for Best Artiste or Group from Central Africa.
In 2010, Fally Ipupa won the MTV Africa Music Awards 2010 for Best Video (for Sexy Dance) and Best Francophone Artiste. He won the urban awards for best African artiste.
Ipupa was nominated in the Best Live Act category at the MTV Africa Music Awards 2014. He released an album named Power ‘Kosa Leka’ in 2011.
