Mapambazuko: Ale Hop & Titi Bakorta | live @leguesswhofestival l Vrije Geluiden



Ale Hop — the artistic persona of Peru’s Alejandra Cárdenas — blends traditional Afro-Peruvian rhythms with experimental electronics, noise, and ambient soundscapes. She explores sound not only as a musician, but as a scientist.Her journey began in Lima’s underground scene of pop, punk, and electronic music, where she gradually forged a style entirely her own.
Titi Bakorta, hailing from Congo, is known for his inventive fusion of danceable soukous and folk, enriched with intricate guitar solos.He’s widely regarded as “one of Congo’s most innovative talents” — an artist unafraid to reshape traditional Congolese pop and folk while keeping the music irresistibly danceable.
These two remarkable worlds met for the first time on their recent album Mapambazuko, recorded in Kampala, Uganda.
