BELANU

Rock'n'roll never dies! With over 60 concerts played in Switzerland, Germany and London in 2023, including the Gurten Festival in Bern, the 22-year-old Swiss musician with Congolese and Italian roots "Belanu" embodies rock music of Gen Z. The explosive sound combines past with present and demonstrates a great talent of improvisational and joyful playing. It all began in 2019 with the release of his first single "Running Out of Time", followed by his debut album "Don't Ask Why" in November 2020, on which he played and recorded all instruments himself. In order to be able to perform the songs live, during the pandemic, he formed his trio (Belanu & The Attitude) together with two Tills - drummer Till Bundeli and bassist Till Santschi - and released a new multilingual album (English, French and Swiss German) called "Bustin' The Shell" on December 1st, 2023. The new album was produced by Andi Hug and recorded at “Groovefactory Studios” in Bern CH.

In addition, Belanu was part of "La Gustav 2023" academy for contemporary music, which promotes the next generation of Swiss musicians, plays guitar for reggea band "Open Season" and bluesman "Marc Amacher".
