Since winning the Polaris Music Prize in 2022, Pierre Kwenders has toured the world with his headline shows. Returning to Canada in spring 2027, he presents new songs, a new live band, and an entirely new stage production, marking the beginning of a new chapter on stage.
Born in Kinshasa and based in Montreal, Pierre Kwenders is a singer-songwriter whose music moves between Congolese rumba, pop, and electronic sounds. A co-founder of the multidisciplinary collective Moonshine, he sees the dancefloor as a space for connection, creation, and cultural exchange. His albums Le Dernier Empereur Bantou (2014) and MAKANDA at The End of Space, the Beginning of Time (2017) were both shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, while José Louis and the Paradox of Love (2022) won the prestigious award. With TRIANGLE D’OR: Shadows into Gold, he continues to explore movement, intimacy, and storytelling.
