Having passed away on Sunday, April 7th, 2024, at the Ngaliema Clinic in Gombe, the Congolese singer Lucie Kunda was buried on Thursday, May 2nd, at the Nécropole I, after final respects were paid at the Cathedral of the Centenary Protestant in the Lingwala district. Several dignitaries were present at this place of worship.

But first, everyone had gathered at the morgue of the Ngaliema Clinic.

After the centenary Protestant cathedral, her funeral procession headed towards the Place des Artistes at the Victoire roundabout. Here, numerous music lovers and musicians gathered to pay their last tributes. It was an opportunity for them to perform some of the songs by the Kunda Sisters, which she was a part of together with her two biological sisters.

With Peguy Kunda and Elie Kunda, the singer Lucie Kunda held a special place on the Congolese Christian music scene for more than 25 years.

Through their rich repertoire, they touched and converted many souls.
