No need to remember its name: it is quite possible that between now and the next few months is up in the soup. Not surprisingly, the proposal Mohombi has all the ingredients to make it big. His dance-pop fits perfectly in the current radio formula. His album will be the first to publish the seal RedOne, responsible for the sound of Lady Gaga.
He is handsome. It's exotic. And, last but not least, a story behind it worth telling. I left the Congo at age 13 to flee the war "I left Congo, the country of my father, fleeing the war. He was 13 years," says Mohombi without losing the smile. Their destination was Sweden, the homeland of his mother.
There he began a musical career that went through the hip-hop with his brother Djo, who formed Avalon. The group soon achieve some recognition and even won a Kora Award (the African equivalent of the Grammy) for Best Banda Diaspora. But Mohombi ambition went further. "I left everything behind: my life, my apartment ...
until my work at Ericsson," he recalls. He traveled to Los Angeles looking for the lucky and it found him. RedOne met, who will join Swedish origins. "It was love at first sight," he recalls. Of their collaboration came a single, Bumpy Ride, which has burst the lists of half the planet.
Now prepare a record that threatens to take their sound afrovikingo, as he himself was baptized, every corner of the globe. Mohombi be one of the stars invited to the upcoming Spring Pop festival, taking place in Madrid on 3 June. Share cartel, among others, Enrique Iglesias, Daniel Martin, James Blunt, Taio Cruz, Carlos Jean and Nana, Desperation, The Postal Service, Macaco, Maldita Nerea, Malú, Nena Daconte or Paul Alborán.
Proceeds from the festival will go to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for the benefit of Libyans who are in a situation of political asylum.
