Stino Mubi
Justin Mubi Matadi (born 16 January 1966), known professionally as Stino Mubi, is a Congolese singer-songwriter, composer, and performer. Nicknamed "L'As de la Chorale" ("The Ace of the Choir") in 1984, he successfully auditioned to join Viva La Musica, a Congolese rumba band led by Papa Wemba. He became known for vocal range and sound fusing Congolese rumba with Western pop, funk, and soul. Over a career spanning more than four decades, Stino established himself as one of the emblematic artists of his era, achieving success as a member of Viva La Musica and as a solo performer.
His compositions such as "M.J. Ngoyi" and "Roméo et Juliette" are considered modern classics of Congolese music, while his stage style, inspired by Michael Jackson, introduced new performance aesthetics to the rumba scene.
