“La Vie Est Belle”
“Papa Wemba has a beautiful rags-to-riches movie that goes by this title. It’s very iconic: the first movie he ever did in Congo. Here I sing about perseverance and overcoming your hardships in French and Kiswahili. This is the most personal song on the album and is a dedication to my late mum, Elisabeth Mulegwa. It’s written in the words she used to tell me: ‘Life belongs to the courageous and you must keep going.’ I grew up in Goma—a small city in eastern DRC, a rough part of the country. We experienced wars and armed conflicts in which I lost both my parents at 16. From then on I started a journey to find myself and build my own path. This led me to South Africa, after months of traveling by foot and bus. My mother's resilient spirit and life advice has kept me going throughout my journey. She always told me to find beauty in chaos and that life belongs to the bold.”
