Kɔ́ngɔ-Kinsásá na Malawi

Kinshasa, 2 July 2022 - Having announced the return of the nation, RTNC has decided to unveil the song right now. Continuing the tradition from the first decade, we are going to send an artist that isn't fully related to the nation. The artist is:

Epoque

Janine Tesla Nzua, better known by her stage name Epoque, is an Italian-Congolese singer and rapper. Born in Turin to parents who immigrated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she has slowly began leading a new style of Italian music, one that fused Italian languages with African beats and melodies. Epoque’s childhood and adolescence were marked by a struggle to come to terms with the many faces of her identity. “At home the whole family was African, while at school my friends were all Italian,” she says. The rapper burst onto the scene thanks to her unique sound of Afro-trap with a touch of Italian style. “It was all like: ‘Who am I? What must I be more [of]?’ As you grow up you understand you are both.” Despite her having never visited the DRC, she has strengthened her deepening her Congolese identity by travelling to France and Belgium where parts of her family had moved. Going to visit her relatives also made Epoque notice the differences between Italy and other countries that have larger and more connected communities of African origin. “It struck me how I felt so different in different places,” she says. “It irritated me to see my uncles in Belgium being able to give their children certain things because they had the tools to do it. In Italy it was all a bit more crumbled and messy as if we were in the wrong place, you know? These differences inspired me,” she says. Her music represents the meeting points of these experiences. Epoque displays her multiple identities in her lyrics, in which a single line can host many languages – Italian, Lingala, French, English and sometimes Spanish. “Every language I use belongs to me, and describes a part of me. I call it ‘Afro-Italian language’,” says Epoque, smiling. “Multilingualism makes it easier to communicate where I come from, and it allows me to speak for people experiencing the same condition.” Her unique approach to language is expressed in the song Petite, the last she released before signing with Virgin Records Italy – a dream come true. “I hope to become a full-fledged Afro-Italian singer and start a new Afro-music wave in Italy,” says Epoque. “It is no small thing seeing an Afro-Italian woman managing to do that.” The song that she will be representing is one that is reflective of her identity, with verses alternating between French and Italian. The song itself is:
