Lokua Kanza was born Pascal Lokua Kanza in 1958 in Bukavu, in the province of Kivu, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He is the eldest of eight children, with a Mongo father and a Tutsi mother from Rwanda. In 1964, the family went to live in Kinshasa (Congo's capital) in a middle class area, until the day when Pascal's father, a ship's captain, died. His mother then moved to a much poorer area of the city, and Lokua, the eldest, had to work to feed the family. He therefore went to school part time, and took odd jobs, as well as singing in churches. Lokua Kanza sings in French, Lingala, and English.

Ce qui m’étonne ce que, pourquoi le monde ne désire pas tant ce qui est profond? Plutôt, il aime la facilité dans la musique. Or je ne sais pas si quelqu’un partage avec moi l’émotion que j’ai à chaque fois que j’écoute cette chanson 😭🥹🤦🏾, Lokwa un génie!
