LA RUMBA CONGOLAISE EST UN RHYTHME ORIGINAIRE DE L'AFRIQUE QUI DURANT LA TRAITE DES ESCLAVES EST PARVENU EN AMERIQUE PLUS PRECISEMENT A CUBA. APRES UN MELANGE AVEC LES RHYTHMES ESPAGNOLS, CETTE MUSIQUE SE RETROUVA ENCORE EN AFRIQUE DANS LES BARS FREQUENTES PAR LES COLONS ET LES AFRICAINS DURANT LES ANNEES 40'S A 50'S.

CONGOLESE RUMBA is related to the Rumba rhythm in Cuba which originated from Africa with the slave trade then that rhythm went back with Spanish/Latin American influence during colonial times in the 40's and 50's. Congolese artistes retook it and transformed it again in its current form. Many rhythms are related to it such as Salsa, Cha cha cha, Guarancha, Bolero (slows)....

Techno Malewa Vol 2

I have been waiting patiently for the sequel to Werrason & Wenge Musica Maison Mere's hit album "Techno Malewa - Sans Cesse" since I heard this song a little bit over a year ago:



Today while logged onto Youtube a user by the name of BJONE posted another song from the sequel Techno Malewa Vol 2 called "Tresor Kandol". Fabrice & Deplik sing part of this song in a clip I posted a couple of weeks ago.
Here is the full song:


The more excerpts and leaked songs that come out on youtube the more excited I get because I know that means the album is coming soon. More great music
