This first single from upcoming Baloji&#8217;s album is a &#8220;metaphor for the resilience of people in his childhood home of Lubumbashi, a town where residents only have access to electricity for six months of the year and must come up with creative alternatives in generating power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Expected to be surprise by Baloji in 2018. He got more to show:\u00a0&#8220;the video for &#8216;Soleil de Volt\u2019 is an extract of my forthcoming short film KANIAMA SHOW, a satire about soft power and propaganda on TV. The look is inspired by the Congolese wedding bands with the men dressed in Zoot suits and Gelees,&#8221; says Baloji.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>137 Avenue Kaniama<\/em>\u00a0album will be out on March 29th on\u00a0<a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"http:\/\/smarturl.it\/baloji.sdv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bella Union<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11420\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama.jpg\" alt=\"Baloji 137 avenue Kaniama\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Baloji-137-avenue-Kaniama-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congolese-Belgian rapper Baloji unveils visual for &#8216;Soleil De Volt&#8217; &#8211; a real-fake TV show in the style of Soul Train.
