Alina Amuri enchants and captivates with her warm voice.

A“Where to go now.” Alina Amuri has often asked herself this question and given the answer to it at the same time: “of course on the big stage”.

African zest for life coupled with a touch of Swiss thoroughness; a truly exciting mix: make deep soulful melodies on maturing lyrics, or “neo-soul”.


Alina was born in Kinshasa, Congo and migrates to Switzerland at a young age where she was put forward for the first time in the children’s choir of the Zurcher Opera House. She was thought by renowned singers like Placido Domingo and Freddy Washington frpm the Philadelphia Gospel Singers who helped her honed her muscial talent.


Her powerful voice combines the vocalist with joy and ease, this seems to come directly from her vibrant and rich musical home town of Kinshasa. However, this is part of the story, because nothing drives you more than passion and love, this is the basis of Alina’s work. Her insightful lyrics are accompanied by sensual soul sounds, smooth hip-hop beats and rhythmic reggae grooves rounded off with a touch of jazz.


She wants to mediate between cultures and connect people, “when you feel joy singing, this is conveyed to the audience, which creates special moments for me”. Music is a universal language that connects people from all over the world. It builds important bridges between cultures and I want to be part of this exchange by using my words, voice and energy with my music.

Her music is appreciated by many which can be heard with local collaborations with the Soul Virus or as a support act of Phenomden on the island tour 2011/2012. Alina is already known for her work with artists like Kanye West (X-Tra Zurich) or Dizzee Rascal (Rote Fabrik Zurich) as opening and supporting act at their concerts. As a solo artist accompanied by her band she thrilled both at home and abroad: at Blue Balls Festival in Lucerne, at the Afropfingsten in Winterthur or as a guest of Professor Wouasse at the Paleo Festival in Nyon. Her appearances with King Kora at the legendary Jazz à Ouaga in Burkina Faso complete her impressive work.

Even on the radio Alina Amuri made it on the playlist on major radio stations in Switzerland, DRS 3, RSI RETE TRE and BACKSTAGE RADIO featuring songs from her EP “Where to go now”.

Alina Amuri is currently working on her debut album to be released this year.
