Belgian-Cameroonian rapper, composer and multi-instrumentalist Kunde blends jazz, R&B, hip-hop and Afrobeat with poetic storytelling and sharp social insight.
His latest album, Late Bloomer (2026), forms a diptych with Dandelion (2024), exploring the growing pains and identity of an Afropean coming of age. Inspired by J Dilla, John Coltrane, D’Angelo and Herbie Hancock, the album features Tennishu of Butcher Brown and has received international airplay from Gilles Peterson, KEXP, Soho Radio London and others.
Fully written, arranged and recorded with his live band, Late Bloomer translates into an electrifying live show, balancing the raw energy of hip-hop with the spontaneity of jazz. Kunde performs with Gaspard Loncke (drums), Léa Kadian (bass), Maurice Declerck (saxophone & vocoder) and Peter Lesage (keys).
