At just 24 years old, LAKNA is proving her ease and talent on stage at some of Switzerland’s biggest music festivals, including Montreux Jazz, Gurten, Estival Open-air, Cully Jazz, Les Créatives, Les Georges and Balelec. Her art is made up of sensitive lyrics and rhythmic melodies with a rnb/afro/pop/soul feel. The daughter of a Burkinabe Griot and a Genevan actress, LAKNA has always been steeped in musical culture.
LAKNA’s music is playlisted by all the national radio stations and is listened to all over the world, appearing everywhere in the Swiss and international press, including the RTS 12h45 & 19h30 news programme and TV5monde, which called her “the rising star of Swiss R’n’B”. LAKNA is also the only Swiss artist to be chosen to celebrate the French-speaking world in Brazil in 2024. Her third EP “(UTC-0)” will be released in January 2024, and new singles and videos will be unveiled between now and then.
