Meet Mboka Liya, widely known by his iconic stage name Burkina Faso—a true Congolese guitar virtuoso and a living legend of African music. Hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo, he is celebrated as one of the defining solo guitarists of his generation. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, he cemented his legacy across the African continent, most notably as a star soloist for the legendary supergroup Wenge Musica. With his fingers on the fretboard, he helped shape the global sound of Soukous and Ndombolo, the dominant music styles of Congo that is highly praised throughout the continent.
Today, Mboka Liya resides in the United Kingdom. Operating out of London, he remains a highly active musician, running his own production studio and lending his signature sound to various international projects. Mboka Liya and his band is currently available for live gigs, festivals, weddings, and private events. Specializing in high-energy Soukous, Ndombolo, and classic Congolese Rumba, they deliver a compilation of the greatest hits that Mboka Liya composed during his career, tunes that are both refreshingly modern and deeply rooted in the ultimate traditions of African dance music. If you are looking for an optimal choice to bring authentic, irresistible African tunes and world-class musicianship to your next event, Burkina Faso Mboka Liya is the undisputed master of the groove.
