Robert Maseko has gained the deserved reputation as one the foremost African artists working in the UK today. Originally from the Congo - Heartbeat of Africa - and of Bantu roots, Robert is a master vocalist. Classic rhumba and soukous - elegant and acrobatic vocals with lyrics in Lingala, French and English - this is African roots music at its best. Robert's songs carry the message of universal freedom. Audiences throughout the UK, Africa, mainland Europe, Australia and Japan gained through relentless touring.
