Fatshimetrie is an iconic artistic event that is making its big comeback this Saturday, September 28, 2024 in Kinshasa, the vibrant capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Initiated by a group of enthusiasts led by the talented slam poet Emmanuel Kuzamba, this monthly event has won the hearts of slam and poetry lovers in the city.
After an extended break due to internal reasons, the Fatshimetrie team is ready to offer the public a unique poetic show. This monthly event is more than just a show, it is a space of freedom and artistic expression where Congolese slam artists and poets can give free rein to their creativity.
This innovative “open mic” concept is at the heart of Fatshimetrie, offering the opportunity for anyone wishing to share their art to express themselves freely on stage. The idea is to break down barriers and allow everyone to make their voice heard, thus creating a unique atmosphere of exchange and sharing.
Emmanuel Kuzamba, a key player in the Congolese artistic scene, praised the positive evolution of slam in the DRC. For him, this art is experiencing a real boom and deserves to be highlighted. He hopes that the industrialization of the cultural sector can be a reality, thus propelling slam and other forms of artistic expression to the forefront of the national and international scene.
Since its inception in June 2022, Fatshimetrie has won over a loyal and passionate audience, bringing together talented artists every month to share their passion for words and emotions. This event has become an essential pillar of the Congolese artistic scene, testifying to the richness and diversity of local culture.
In short, Fatshimetrie is much more than a simple slam show, it is a place of meeting, exchange and expression where poetry and music come together to create magical and unforgettable moments. Do not miss this unique event that will transport you to the heart of Congolese creativity and leave you with unforgettable memories.
