The sound of Kinshasa is coming to Toronto. 🔥
Beyond honoured and excited to perform at the Toronto Jazz Festival this summer — representing Congo, African rhythm, and the spirit of jazz in one of the most diverse cities in the world.
Toronto sounds like the world. And this time, Congo is part of the conversation.

See you on stage. 🇨🇩✨
Had a great time playing the music of @jon_nvita last night at @lulalounge . When you’re playing with such a great band it’s super cathartic!

Jonathan Nvita brings a powerful and immersive live experience to Lula Lounge, blending African rhythmic traditions with the language of jazz and contemporary world music. Born in Kinshasa and based in Toronto, Nvita’s music moves between groove and meditation, fire and tenderness—where improvisation meets storytelling.
Backed by a dynamic ensemble, the show weaves original compositions from his debut album, Mosisa (The Roots) , with new materials from his upcoming project, Nesheema (Breath) .
Expect rich vocal textures, intricate rhythms, and moments of deep musical dialogue between band members. Lingala phrases, call-and-response, and layered percussion create an atmosphere that is both intimate and expansive.
At Lula Lounge—a space known for global sounds and dance-floor energy—this performance becomes more than a concert. It is a cultural exchange. A celebration of roots and evolution. A night where Kinshasa meets Toronto and where rhythm carries memory, hope, and connection.
This is not background music. It is an experience—vibrant, soulful, and alive.
