African Renaissance - African Rumba Music

Listen on

Episode notes

The show plays African Rumba whose roots emanated from the Congo area, then spread and diversified to many other parts of the world due to slavery, colonization and migration of the people from that area. This podcast focuses on music from the modern day Democratic Republic of Congo. This type of music is very popular in many countries across the continent of Africa despite language barriers because it is rather danceable.
