Ilam - Kololo (2026)

The artistry of Montreal-based musician ILAM represents a unique cultural melting pot shaped by the influence of the Canadian metropolis. At the core of his distinctive style lies a subtle fusion of traditional and contemporary currents: here, the rhythms of reggae and blues seamlessly intertwine with elements of Afro-folk, pop, and rock. The main connecting thread and emotional centerpiece of this music is a mesmerizing vocal delivery that conveys the primal strength and depth of nomadic culture, yet adapted to modern urban landscapes. High professional recognition of ILAM's concept is validated by the success of his release Néné, which won the prestigious Canadian ADISQ and GAMIQ awards for Album of the Year in the World Music category.
