Corneille Akilimali Bufole (August 4, 1992), better known as Cor Akim, is a Congolese singer, songwriter, pianist and worship leader, born in Bukavu, capital of South Kivu Province in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and based in Nairobi in Kenya.[1][2]
Biography
Cor Akim was born on August 4, 1992, in Bukavu, South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo.[3] After having accompanied Lokua Kanza on stage during a campaign against sexual violence in February 2014, organized by the global activist movement V-Day, Cor Akim decided to record his first album "Homme de rêve", featured songs like Sorry really and Mwasi in 2016 which revealed him to the public in the both provinces of North and South Kivu.[4]
In 2018, he dropped the song Mon Vote, which is about the 2018 presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo.[5] This song is said to be the cause of his abduction during the electoral campaign the night of December 8 to 9, 2018 after a karaoke evening where he was invited.[6] Ever since, Akim relocated to Kenya due to security issues and shifted to gospel music with his first song "Glory" released in July 2019, followed by "Abba" in 2020 and "Mkuu" on August 1, 2022.[7]
