Joram Kunde Boumkwo releases his new single “Downstream,” a precursor to his highly anticipated debut album “Dandelion”. This Belgian-Cameroonian rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist bring a unique fusion of hip-hop, contemporary jazz, P-funk, and afrobeat to the global music stage.

Kunde’s journey in music began at the tender age of ten, inspired by his father’s Pan-African polyrhythmic music and his passion for nineties hip hop. This early exposure led him to explore beatboxing and beat-making, eventually expanding his repertoire to include piano, vocals, and bass guitar. As a self-taught artist, Kunde has developed a distinctive sound that draws comparisons to influential artists such as Anderson. Paak, Patrice Rushen, Quincy Jones, Fela Kuti, and Kendrick Lamar.

“Dandelion” promises to be an introspective concept album that delves deep into Kunde’s Afropean identity, tackling complex themes such as intergenerational trauma, toxic masculinity, and neocolonialism. Through a powerful blend of storytelling, rap, spoken word, and field recordings from his Cameroonian journey, Kunde creates a narrative that is both personal and universally resonant. His razor-sharp and poignant narrations are beautifully counterbalanced by soothing and soulful sonic textures, creating a multifaceted listening experience.

As “Downstream” hits the airwaves and streaming platforms, it offers listeners a tantalizing glimpse into the world of “Dandelion.” This single encapsulates Kunde’s unique musical style and sets the stage for what is sure to be a groundbreaking debut album.

“Downstream” is now available on all major streaming platforms. ”
