Fally Ipupa: 'Musicians should take risks' - BBC Africa

Congolese musician Fally Ipupa says artists must be willing to take risks. Speaking to Focus on Africa’s Jewel Kiriungi, the singer reflected on 20 years as a solo artist, developing his own sound and experimenting beyond traditional Congolese rumba. He also spoke about making music across languages including Lingala, French, English and Swahili, the criticism he faced when he began changing his sound, and why he still prefers to see himself as an artist rather than a celebrity.
