Belgian-Cameroonian composer and singer-songwriter Lubiana drifts at the epicentre between tradition and ingenuity: the ancestral heritage rooted in her unique and highly innovative approach to the kora, a West-African string instrument that felt as if she’s “met the love of her life” upon first hearing it. 

As a student of the instrument, with renowned players like Assetou Diabaté, Albkaye Cissoko and Sona Jobarteh, Lubiana reconciles these skills with an ethereal modern pop, jazz and soul vernacular. As a young artist so spiritually, musically and geographically well-traveled, Lubiana aims to convey a journey of self-love and exploration – taking the most unbeaten of paths to manifest her multi-faceted and engrossing sound.
