On this night, Isaac katalay brings his band at Le Poisson Rouge, a
very prestigious venue in NYC to once again showcase the influence Congolese culture in
world history. Congolese music can
be traced in various cultures in the Latin America, Caribbean and in Black American Culture.
In modern era moreover, Congolese music has given a platform
of
justice
to Africa. This is
given
its popularity
and more importantly, its historical relevancy. The two make Congolese music a pertinent medicament
of both cultural justice and social justice. Music forms such as Afro Cuban, Jazz, Reggae
and many have set ways in the struggle of black identity and have also provided substances of social stability to
a struggling race and people. By bringing this art form
on stages around the USA, it allows Isaac Katalay to keep the DEBATE going. Justice
is when people's value is promoted and when their identities are not buried in the unknown according
to Isaac Katalay. Congo has gone through so much, in the past and still going through
hardship now, so any chance to showcase it contribution to humanity would hopefully bring
Justice. The artist doing both cover and original songs, gospel and secular to tackle paradoxes
and keep the debate of Justice in the center not ideology.
