Eurostar regular Baloji will bring an exciting continental spoken word performance to the Traction festival. Growing up in Liege his passions for hip-hop, rap and dance shaped his style and coupled with the backing of his inimitable Orchestra are an act that Gilles simply couldn’t refuse to bring to the party on the 14th July.

Congolese-born Belgian Baloji is the opitome of a worldwide artist. Arriving into Oostende, Belgium at the age of 4 his music breathes an African life into his European hip-hop, which accompanied by his Orchestra de la Katuba is a set that should not be missed.
