LIZ IKAMBA

British-Congolese (DRC) artist Liz Ikamba returns to Tropical Pressure with her band, bringing an electrifying fusion of Congolese alt-pop and Afro-soul. Bold, vibrant and boundary-breaking, her sound evokes the soulful power of Erykah Badu, Sade and Nina Simone — with a raw, rhythmic Congolese twist.

Singing in English and Lingala, Liz blends storytelling with an intoxicating Afro-fusion that bridges continents and generations. Traditional Congolese rhythms meet global influences from dub, jazz, hip-hop and R&B, driven by infectious polyrhythms, deep basslines and soaring vocals. Rooted in the energy of rumba and soukous but reimagined for today, the music weaves hypnotic grooves, rich harmonies and powerful melodies. Expect an immersive, high-energy set filled with call-and-response moments and irresistible rhythms that invite the crowd to sing, move and become part of the journey.
