Kunde
Kunde (Ku:ndeɪ), aka Joram Kunde Boumkwo, is a Belgian-Cameroonian rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist blending hip hop with jazz, P-funk, and afrobeat. Raised on Pan-African polyrythms and ’90s hip hop, he developed a passion for beatboxing, beatmaking, piano, bass, and vocals from a young age. His self-taught sound evokes artists like Anderson .Paak, Patrice Rushen, Fela Kuti, and Kendrick Lamar.
His debut album 'Dandelion' (W.E.R.F. Records) dropped in 2024, using rap, storytelling, and field recordings to explore Afro-Belgian identity, intergenerational trauma, and neocolonialism. His expanded live band featuring Léa Kadian, Creo Cristoria, Jérôme Pringiers, and Simon Derover, delivers electrifying shows that leave audiences captivated.
