The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bob Boilen | January 27, 2021
There's an elegant vibe as Lous and The Yakuza perform a Tiny Desk from the Book Bar in the Hôtel Grand Amour in Paris. And while the music is smooth, upbeat and warm, what lies beneath in Lous backstory, in her French lyrics, is, at times, deep and disturbing.
Lous - an anagram for "soul" - is Marie-Pierra Kakoma, a 24-year-old artist based in Belgium but born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She came to Belgium because her family escaped war in the Congo. They were refugees. For her Tiny Desk (home) concert, she opens with her 2019 single, "Dilemme." The song conjures up images of growing up in the Congo and Rwanda: "Living haunts me, everything that surrounds me made me mean," she sings in French. Her songs are often set to Congolese rumba rhythms, filled with resilience, beauty and resistance.
These songs come from her 2020 album, Gore, and are steeped in a life that saw her mother imprisoned in the Congo for being Rwandan, then become separated during their escape to Belgium. They were eventually reunited, butLous was a troubled teen and spent a period of time adrift before pulling her life together in pursuit of music and art. There's much to uncover and discover here. This Tiny Desk (home) concert is a deep journey.

First song : "If I could I would live Alone, away from problems & dilemas, far from my chains and from the people I like." Second song : you re a good actor but i am looking for your motor, before leaving, just look inside if there is not bits of me remaining -a love song where she share love but would like her beloved not to act but to be. Third song: she would like to make money to help her brothers and sisters in despair ("dans la hess" in Arabic-French slang) even though the world is not going well Fourth song : since birth we are promissed everything but in exchange we must remain quite and shut the f*ck up, should I shout to be heard ? Whatever we do or say, we remain "solo" - she analyses our behaviors - Parle allez parle allez dis moi ce qui te gêne : "Talk to me hey talk to me hey tell me what bothers you" Fifth and final song: Amigo. Life isnt kind, future has eyes, watch yourself, help, there are hidden behind walls

Congo continues to produce a generation the most talented musicians, take, for example, Marie-Pierra Kakoma aka Lous and The Yakuuza. You don't have to speak French to enjoy her music.

C'est propre en tout cas! Le flow, l'attitude, la qualité technique, le choeur bien calé, pas de fausses notes, et Dieu sait que ce n'est pas facile d'avoir un flow aussi rapide et de chanter juste en même temps! good job !

How the cameras capture the richness and variety of Black people's skin tones is one of the things that makes this so enjoyable to watch! So many recorders and cameras do our gorgeous skin a disservice.

@@jdst7080 please do a little bit of research before attacking someone for misusing a cultural symbol in any form: Yakuza refers to Japanese organized crime syndicate.
