The members of Okwess International are among the best musicians of Kinshasa. Their leader, Jupiter Bokondji has created his own musical style 20 years ago, a style he has baptized "Bofenia Rock". In the land of the allmighty "Ndombolo Soukouss" of Koffi Olomide, "Bofenia Rock" stands as a true musical oddity. It reawakens the forgotten melodies and rythms of the Congo's 450 ethnic groups, giving them an inimitable urban spin. The result is a sound that takes us back to the origins of soul and funk... In Kinshasa many young musicians of the ghetto are now following the path of "ol'Jupiter".

Jupiter is also the charimatic main character of a movie "Jupiter's Dance" shot in 2005.
