You could say that the Mighty Popo is a Rwandan/Burundian refugee/survivor whose music is steeped in African tradition, but you'd hardly be getting at the whole story of one of Canada's greatest rising stars. You'd hardly be able to account for his effortless musicality as a member of the 2004 Juno Award winning African Guitar Summit, the kudos received for his genre-busting solo work, his highlight performance at the Canadian edition of Bob Geldof's international Live 8 concerts (one of the few chosen for EMI's Live 8 DVD) or his brilliant return to New Orleans for CBC Radio's Maple Leaf Mojo Meets New Orleans Gumbo benefit concert broadcast live across Canada.
