Two years after El Dorado Sunset, Boogat returns with his new album Neo-Reconquista, set to be released on May 4th via Maisonnette. A 5 à 7 on Tuesday, May 5th will take place at the Théâtre Fairmount to celebrate the launch. He will also be performing in Ottawa at the National Arts Centre on May 22nd. More tour dates will be announced soon.

Londres is about the disappearance and homogenization of cultures, both human and environmental. As the digital age accelerates this phenomenon, it is important to protect our cultures to ensure they stand the test of time, without fear or tears.
A musical manifesto in Spanish and Lingala…
