MAURIX BARU

Originally from Rwanda and based in Montreal, Maurix Baru is revolutionizing music with his unique style, Afro-opera, a powerful and captivating fusion of ancestral African rhythms and the elegance of classical opera. The first artist to bring the iconic Karahanyuze songs, steeped in African nostalgia, to Canada, he thrilled crowds during his 2025 summer tour, a resounding success that conquered Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, and beyond.

With over 14 years of experience, prestigious collaborations, and a powerful voice, Maurix combines tradition and modernity to deliver unforgettable performances. His first Canadian album is in the works, ready to showcase Africa’s cultural richness on the international stage.
