A two-day humanitarian concert called "Umoja for Peace" is being organized in Goma, the capital of North Kivu, where international Congolese artist Innoss'B is expected. Three years (2020) after his appearance at the Amani Festival, the native of Goma hopes once again to captivate thousands of Goma fans. The event is scheduled for June 30 at SERENA Hotel and July 1 at the Volcanoes Stadium.

Initiated by Gün Günna, this philanthropist wants to use this production to mobilize the necessary resources to help the orphans she houses. This concert is also an opportunity to convey a message of peace. Especially since the war raging in North Kivu for decades has left thousands of widows and orphans in its wake.

"For this June 30, we would like to celebrate Independence Day differently. We wanted to pass a message of peace and that is why we thought to pass this message through artists, through artists from Goma, children of Goma so that our message reaches these objectives," explains Carole Donis, head of Gün Günna.

Gün Günna wants to establish a malnutrition center and a psychological center. Although the children she houses are well fed, they need psychological follow-up because most have experienced difficult family separations. And this will be possible thanks to fundraising through this concert.

Beyond caring for orphans, Gün Günna also helps widows, elderly people and several people living in precarious conditions. This is why Carole Donis, head of this organization, deemed it appropriate to celebrate the DRC's Independence Day differently, scheduled for June 30.

Several artists from North Kivu and South Kivu will share the stage with Innoss'B in an unprecedented show. Namely Nan Rayo, Typhon P, Monica, Jaguaman from South Africa, sisco Raggar, Germain le Noir, Chiki de Miel, JC Kibombo, Stino, Nathan Skoto, Capita Amon, Demba Beniboy and Willow Miller.
