Kareyce presented some of her songs and was singer and percussion or guitar player for the 2 others female artists. Her stage presence was just amazing thanks to her humor, sensuality and generosity.

2014 – Release of her 2nd album “MOKTE” produced with the nice collaboration of François Kokelaere & Gino Sitson and some other musicians invited as well.
She will be now on the road with a guitar player for a show with always more emotions.
A foot in her culture and the other one in a modern world, Kareyce Fotso is an African woman, full of life, charm, humour and real talent. A powerful voice, original, recognisable between others, tinted lightly by a vell of blues.
A unique jewel in the constellation of the African stars.
On stage, Kareyce rocks us with her pretty melodies followed by her guitar then gives her all in the songs. Suddenly, she flips in a more traditional Africa and plays a small “lamellohpone” (sanza). She stands up to dance, janglers on her feet or followed by a wooden drum. She ends with a humoristic song in the purest spirit of the singer “Zao”.
Her concert is very personal, varied and catches a particular universe. We are under the charm of so much talent and spontaneity.
