______________________________
Leading a gang of musicians coming from eleven differents provinces of Congo, Jupiter aka The Rebel General strongly carry with energy the flag of Bofenia Rock (which he is the initiator, and based on the idea of reactivating rhythms and melodies from the great forgotten Congo, while injecting the urban groove of the City). With young and talented musicians, Jupiter gives a rise to the orchestra: Okwess International. After the success of the film Jupiter's Dance and several music collaborations (Damon Albarn, Jean Goubald), Jupiter has gained an international stature as an artist and has just ended a 100% electric album called Hotel Universe.
