Kinshasa, DRC — April 26, 2026 — Congolese singer and DJ Master Virus unveils his latest single, “Grand Maître,” a commanding record that reflects his evolution from Kinshasa’s DJ booths to becoming a recognized voice in contemporary Congolese music.
Built on rich Congolese rhythms and informed by his deep roots in DJ culture, “Grand Maître” carries the pulse of the dancefloor while highlighting Master Virus’ presence as a seasoned performer.
