MÉROU MÉGAPHONE
Bio
MUSHAGALUSA NAMEGABE HERVE-MEROU, known artistically as Mérou Mégaphone, is a cultural entrepreneur, spoken word coach, and slam poet from Bukavu, also active in Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He co-founded the collective Passemoi L’mike, which has since evolved into the association BUKAVU SLAM-SESSION, positioning himself as a true “voice for the voiceless.”
His work is rooted in a committed artistic approach, aiming to tell the story of his African identity and everyday life in Eastern Congo. Through the power of spoken word—especially slam poetry—he advocates for peace and peaceful coexistence in a region scarred by over three decades of conflict.
His artistic influences include iconic figures in rap and slam poetry such as Grand Corps Malade, Souleymane Diamanka, MC Solaar, Diam’s, among others. Yet, his style remains deeply grounded in the Congolese and pan-African context.
He writes primarily in French, Swahili, and English, occasionally weaving in local expressions depending on the nature of the project.
