Isaac Katalay
Artist Bio:
Isaac Katalay is an artist and oratory whose main objective is to promote humanity. Born in Kinshasa, the capital city of the DR. of Congo, music became a second nature due to the cultural setting of Congo. Now in NYC, his artistic aspirations became more intrinsic due to the global setting of New York’s culture. An expressive musician, a passionate dancer and choreographer and sounded speaker, sounds and movements remain the glance through which the artist sees the world.
