A rich Congolese rumba sound takes centre stage on “Secret de Bakalos,” a melodic offering from Fally Ipupa featured on his expansive XX : Délirium project.
Released on September 18, 2026, the song appears as the 3rd track on Disc 1 of the 51-track double album, released through Elektra France and Warner Music France. At 6 minutes and 17 seconds, Fally takes his time to build the record around smooth instrumentation, layered vocals, and the refined musical style that has become closely associated with his work.
“Secret de Bakalos” draws from the foundations of classic Congolese rumba while incorporating a modern acoustic touch. Fally’s poetic delivery gives the song a warm and expressive character, allowing the melodies and vocal harmonies to carry the performance without feeling rushed.
The track adds to the diverse musical direction of XX : Délirium, giving listeners another extended rumba experience from one of the most recognisable voices in contemporary Congolese music.
