Montreal has a rhythm that only locals can map. @ekitwanda knows exactly where to find it.
EKITWANDA is a queer Congolese multidisciplinary artist and DJ based in Montreal, moving between painting, tattoo art, and genre-defying DJ sets rooted in Pan-Africanism. Blending Techno, Gqom, Hyperpop, and Trap, she builds immersive soundscapes that refuse to sit still. She also co-hosts @aft3rwe4r.live , an online radio show streaming on YouTube.
