GKBL’s “Bella Makossa” Is Shaping the African Music of Tomorrow in the Heart of Marseille
In the vibrant city of Marseille, France, a new musical revolution is taking place, led by the dynamic duo Germaine Kobo and Bella Lawson, collectively known as GKBL. Their breakthrough single, Bella Makossa, merges Electro and Afrobeats in a way that captivates the soul, giving a fresh breath to the music scene. With a sound that’s both super edgy and epic, they’re carving a niche that sits comfortably alongside giants in the genre like Burna Boy and Wizkid but with a distinct flair that’s all their own.
On keyboards, machines, manipulated guitars, and confident voices, GKBL is creating an Afro-futuristic sound that resonates with listeners globally.
“Bella Makossa”, the first glimpse of their much-anticipated album, is not just a song; it’s a movement towards emancipation and expanding the realm of possibilities in music.
