Joe Gez, originally from Kinshasa (DRC) and now based in Canada, crafts a rhythmic and uplifting blend of afrobeat and afropop rooted in African musical traditions. His catalogue includes tracks such as "Broke Like Hakimi", "Burning Desire" and "Family Tree", combining driving percussion with infectious melodies.
He performs at the Quai de l'Horloge in the Vieux-Port de Montréal on Friday August 7 at 18:00, as part of the four-day AfroMonde festival running August 6–9, 2026, daily from 12:00 to 23:00.
