Ravi Bongo, a Brussels native of Rwandan origin, delights the Belgian capital with his Afro-electronic discoveries. Between two radio broadcasts, he drops a progressive PAM Club mixing amapiano, afro-house and gqom.
Born in Rwanda, Bruce Tanghe aka Ravi Bongo arrived in Belgium at the age of 5. It was his friend DJ Yooth who taught him how to DJ, as part of Brikabrak, a project that started out as an educational project, but quickly became a niche for enthusiasts. By joining this multi-disciplinary collective, Ravi Bongo becomes an ambassador for electronic music from his continent and the diaspora, adding a hint of the spirit of Belgian club culture. Known for his dynamic style, this digital digger hosts the “Ravi Bongo Show” on Bruzz radio. Not forgetting to promote local talent, he shares his discoveries in themed shows focusing on reggae and dancehall, amapiano and afro-house, or traditional music from sub-Saharan Africa.
