After years of top flight performance with top musical outfits in Africa, songbird Faya Tess seems to have changed tack. She has gone back to the drawing board, specialising in singing old songs of top artistes.

Faya Tess, real name Kishila Ngoyi, is currently based in Paris, France. She was born in 1966 in Kinshasa. The veteran Congolese singer and songwriter is among the well-respected songstresses of this era.
