Local hip-hop artist and breakdancer, @itsliston, has released a powerful new track, “IDOLU,” inspired by his father’s boxing career and its lasting impact on the community. The song pays tribute to Vincent Bongailas, a respected boxer with an 18-year career, whose legacy deeply influenced Kurt Muscat, also known as Kartieri. Muscat, who idolised Bongailas, established the Kartieri Boxing Club (KBC) in Żabbar, a gym offering free lessons to children and parents, particularly those with special needs.
The track features lyrics by Liston in collaboration with jillyanne.barbara, a musical composition by @siconix_studios, and guitar instrumentals from Liston’s father. The accompanying music video, produced by RAW Media Malta, showcases the inspiring journey of Vince’s legacy and Muscat’s dedication to helping others.
Through KBC, Muscat continues his mentor’s mission, teaching the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and physical activity. The initiative provides a positive space for individuals to develop both mentally and physically. The project highlights the impact of community-driven efforts and serves as a reminder of the significant difference local heroes like Muscat and Bongailas make.
