Mario Bakuna live in London

Experience Mario Bakuna live on July 8th

Mario Bakuna will be performing at Morocco Bound in London, United Kingdom on July 8, 2026. Bakuna is a Congolese-British singer-songwriter and instrumentalist whose music blends elements of Soukous, R&B, and contemporary pop. His sound is characterized by intricate guitar work, melodic vocals often sung in Lingala and English, and a focus on themes of love, identity, and cultural connection. He gained prominence through independent releases and has been recognized for revitalizing Congolese guitar music for a new generation.

Morocco Bound is a relatively new live music venue located in the Haggerston area of East London, opening in late 2023. It quickly established itself as a space dedicated to showcasing global sounds with a particular emphasis on North African and diasporic musical traditions – though its programming extends beyond this remit. The venue’s aesthetic draws inspiration from Moroccan riads, featuring intricate tilework and atmospheric lighting to create an immersive experience. It operates as both a performance space and a social hub aiming to foster cross-cultural exchange through music and arts events. The capacity of the venue is approximately 200 people.
