„My music is about taking the time to look ourselves in the face...in the mirror. African riddims are part of my compositions and blood. Everything in the sound of THE MIRROR is funk fusion born from moving basslines, tense like rubber chords and from the disco-dub atmosphere of the Nigerian rhythm sections like Africa 70. Several years ago, a friend came to record with Tony Allen. He regularly passed by my place in Paris and with time I understood what makes his drumming so natural, that it supports the whole song with its systematic bass drum and very dub grooves. This is something I tried to introduce in THE MIRROR compositions, but also remixes like Negru Voda from Lil Obeah & Marius Costache.” THE MIRROR
„Big respect to THE MIRROR who took the Negru Voda darkness industrial dub into afrobeat well deserved territory! Peace and blessings from Transylvania to Vilnius!” Obeah

The MIRROR aka Boris K is a composer, director, producer, bass player & music lover. He is constantly working with artists within the European sound system world, whether with the Reunionese Nathalie Natiembé or the Englishwoman of Indian origin Susheela Raman, but also with Yann Clery, Victor Diawara part of Afrodelic, Emel Mathlouthi or Sam Karpienia. THE MIRROR is an invitation for all to travel through music.
With music always in motion, The MIRROR propels us towards the future in a whirlwind of emotions, a music without borders nourished by Electro, Afrobeat, Hip Hop and Jazz; a music
enriched by encounters with eclectic artists. The MIRROR project questions identity or rather identities as Boris is the French son of an immigrant, steeped in multiple cultures, part of all the foods and contradictions. THE MIRROR music is a painting of time passing, which reinforces the artists humanity. THE MIRROR collaborates with the Amsterdam-based poet BLESZ and different other artists and confronts his memory of sounds with their universe of words as a face to face interaction with unique results.
For many years, Boris was with Sir Jean and drummer Germain Samba, the linchpin of the Lyonnais Afrobeat group Meï Teï Shô, a group that over the course of four albums travelled all around the planet, from Brazil to Egypt touring.
