Batila grew up hearing a blend of urban Congolese music, reggae, rock and pop and processes this early learning in songs that negotiate political issues over gripping rhythms. the cosmopolitan singer-songwriter is so versatile that no genre could fully describe his music. His debut album Tatamana, recorded with the band The DreamBus in Berlin, Paris and Kinshasa, can be seen as a journey through space and time: It mediates between the cities and musical cultures just as it brings the past into the present to forge a forward-looking sound.
Batila - is a songwriter living in Berlin. He is the child of Congolese-Angolan parents and grew up between Berlin and London. Batila's music (Batila means protector) is "soulphisticated, colourful and lively". Besides Congolese roots, there is also a touch of R&B and soft, jazzy vibes. In addition to numerous live concerts all over the world, his debut album 'Tatamana' is now scheduled for release in 2021, which was recorded between Berlin and Kinshasa in the DRC.
