Étienne and Maya Dufresne

Étienne and Maya met at a Luanda music exchange in 2015 and have since become one of Europe's most recognised kizomba couples.

Their style marries the deep-rooted softness of traditional semba with the sharp, urban edge of modern kiz.

A contrast that has earned them invitations to headline Kizomba Paris Festival, London Kiz, and Lisbon World Kizomba Meeting consecutively.
