Stromae Essentials

Stromae Essentials

A Rwandan-Belgian whose stage name means "maestro" sideways, Stromae began his career as a rapper before augmenting sleek '90s Eurodance with the Cuban son and Congolese rumba he heard as a child, along with Jacques Brel's cool cabaret moves. His French lyrics boldly examine racism, unemployment and other anxieties young immigrants experience in the new Europe.
