Congolese rumba is a popular genre of dance music that originated in the Congo basin during the 1940s, deriving from Cuban son. The style gained popularity throughout Africa during the 1960s and 1970s. It is known as Lingala in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania after the Lingala language of the lyrics in the majority of the songs. In Zambia and Zimbabwe, where Congolese music is also influential, it is still usually referred to as rumba. It is also an individual dance. In December 2021, Congolese rumba was added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.

  • La rumba congolaise est un genre musical apparu en République démocratique du Congo et en République du Congo. Il est issu de la rumba cubaine des années 1930. Les décennies qui suivent l'indépendance des deux pays, à partir de 1960, sont l'âge d'or de la rumba congolaise. On peut citer parmi ses représentants la formation TP OK Jazz, des musiciens tels que Franco, Tabu Ley Rochereau, Papa Noël, Sam Mangwana, Paul Kamba, Wendo Kolosoy, (en), Antoine Moundanda et Michelino Mavatiku Visi. La création du groupe Zaïko Langa Langa en 1969 oriente le propos ailleurs avec le cavacha, un rythmé joué à la guitare et à la batterie, inspiré d'un train en mouvement. Parmi les membres de ce groupe, on compte Félix Manuaku Waku, Papa Wemba, N'Yoka Longo, Evoloko et Meridjo Belobi, pour ne citer qu'eux. (fr)
