Celebrating Sanctuary are excited to be presenting artists again at FreeJazz Friday, and this year we are delighted to welcome back a favourite to our programme, Congolese musician and singer Didier Kisala.

Didier Kisala

Didier united young musicians who were passionate about music to create something different which reflected their heritage and a broad range of influences including Rumba, Sebene, Zouk, Jazz, Gospel and more. Alongside The Redeemed, Didier has also performed with smaller ensembles, creating a beautiful and soulful performance. A regular contributor to Celebrating Sanctuary events, and collaborations include "The Froe", "Culture Dub Orchestra" and ground-breaking concept album “The Long Road”, involving some of the UK’s top musicians and internationally acclaimed artists such as Robert Plant. Also collaborations with guitarist and singer Niwel Tsumbu. Didier has recently released his new album and will be performing some of his new material in his set. We are delighted to welcome him and members of the Redeemed to Free Jazz Friday.
