Revered Paris-based Congolese pianist Ray Lema is one of the most innovative and creative names in African music.

A classical trained pianist and church organist (studied to be a Catholic priest) who creates music that is uniquely his and tonight we have a chance to hear a special two-part concert.
The first set sees him leading his African Jazz Trio featuring meteoric bassist ETIENNE MBAPPE and drummer FRANCIS LASSUS to create music full of individual virtuosity and sharp interplay. In the second set the grand piano is replaced by keyboards as Ray Lema leads the dynamic Saka Saka Orchestra as they play from their new CD "99". Expect big band grooves of the highest order.
