Ambiance à Congo (No. 1)

During the 1980's, Rumba Congolaise evolved a new sound as a result of growing Pan-African and international markets as well as changing musical technologies and aesthetics. This series, as a follow up to the "Kinshasa Nairobi Express" series, can be seen as a link between the more lyrical Cuban influenced Rumbas of the preceding decade, and the high energy, electronically profuse Soukous of decades to come. 1.
