  • The Genesis of Urban Music in Zaïre
    72 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF AFRICAN MUSIC THE GENESIS OF URBAN MUSIC IN ZAiRE by KAZADI wa MUKUNA The introduction of foreign musical instruments in Africa by explorers, missionaries and armed forces, before and after the colonial period, brought changes to the musical expression of newly founded urban centers and launched a series of challenges to the African for the quest of a musical identity. In some urban centers, foreign musical elements (instruments, dances, harmonic implications, etc.) brought the decline and denigration of traditional musical genres as well as changes in the world view of the African musician vis-a-vis his own music. In Zaire, the installation of radio stations and recording industries gave rise to an urban musical expression which fed on traditional music for its content, and relied heavily on foreign musical instruments as a medium of interpretation. The organization of the newly created musical expression was governed by norms of aesthetics peculiar to the new urban centers. This phase of the history of urban music in Zaire lasted from the 1930s to the end of 1965. Politically, 1965 marked the end of the First Republic which began June 30, 1960, and ushered in the Second Republic identified with the advent of Mobutu Sese Seko as the head of the state on May 20, 1965. Musically, 1965 denotes the end of the formative period stylistically referred to as tango ya ba-Wendo (the era of the Wendos). The formative period of the urban music in Zaire, characterized by the strong influence of the Cuban rumba on themaringa, was known by the stage name of one of its most prolific composers, guitar players and singers, Antoine Kolosoy "Wendo." In the 1970s this period was referred to in radio and television programs devoted to music from this era as bankolo miziki (the owners of the music).

White Congolese Rumba and Other Cosmopolitanisms Most first-time listeners of Congolese popular dance music comment on the fact that this typically African musical style actually sounds like it comes from somewhere else: “Is that merengue?” or “It sounds kind of Cuban”. Given that since the beginning of Congolese modern music in the 1930s, Afro-Cuban music has been one of its primary sources of inspiration, this is obviously not a coincidence. In historical terms, it is probably more accurate to say that Cuba and other Caribbean nations have been inspired by the musical traditions of Africa, though this is not the focus of my article. While research on the question of transatlantic cultural flows can provide valuable information about the roots and resilience of culture, I am more interested in what these flows mean to people in particular times and places and ultimately what people are able to do with them, both socially and politically.

  • Popular Music and Political Consciousness in Congo-Zaire
    Listening Together, Thinking out Loud: Popular Music and Political Consciousness in Congo-Zaire BOB W. WHITE 41 (2): 54-74. 41 (2): Abstract: This text argues that by watching people who listen to music, we can understand the unfolding of political events in the popular imagination in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Because listening to music in this context is very often a social activity, music fans make associations MUSICultures MUSICultures between their individual experiences and the political history of their country, at times articulating a new political consciousness as something emergent. After presenting three examples of this political “prise de conscience” during the Mobutu regime—the beginning of opposition, the period of structural adjustment and the fall of the regime—I analyze the relationship between political consciousness and popular music via a discussion of interpersonal listening: listening together, thinking out loud. Résumé : Le propos de cet article est qu’en observant les gens qui écoutent de la musique, nous pouvons comprendre le déroulement des évènements politiques de la République démocratique du Congo. Écouter de la musique dans ce contexte étant très une activité sociale, les auditeurs font souvent des liens entre leurs expériences individuelles et l’histoire politique de leur pays, en présentant parfois leur nouvelle conscience politique comme quelque chose d’émergent. Après avoir présenté trois exemples de cette « prise de conscience » politique sous le régime de Mobutu – le début de l’opposition, la période d’ajustement structurel et la chute du régime – j’analyse la relation entre la conscience politique et la musique populaire à travers une discussion interpersonnelle : écouter ensemble, penser à haute voix.

Mundundu 2005 iii THE RECONTEXTUALIZATION OF AFRICAN MUSIC IN THE UNITED STATES: A CASE STUDY OF UMOJA AFRICAN ARTS COMPANY Anicet M. Mundundu, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation is about the opportunities and challenges posed by the presentation and interpretation of African music performances by African immigrants in Western contexts in general and the United States in particular. The study focuses on the experience of the Umoja African Arts Company, a Pittsburgh based repertory dance ensemble that performs music and dance from various parts of Africa. Although much has been observed on the contribution of Africa to the development of the American music and dance experience, there is a growing interest among African scholars to question the relevance, impact and the analysis of the emerging efforts of new African immigrants in the promotion of African music in changing contexts overseas where creative individuals have to reconfigure new ways of interpreting and presenting cultural resources to diverse audiences.

BUT MUSIC IS ALSO WEALTH." Simaro Lutumba THE RUMBA KINGS - PRESS KIT PAGE 3 PRESS RELEASE March 20, 2021 Our connection with the giant country in the center of Africa known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is stronger than we may imagine. We all carry a bit of Congo in our pockets. All smartphones use a metal called coltan and Congo holds 80% of the world’s reserve of this mineral. Nevertheless, despite having some of the world's largest mineral deposits of coltan, cobalt, copper, gold, and diamonds, Congo has rarely seen real prosperity. The mining of those minerals has only brought division, wars and poverty to the Congolese people. What has brought them unity, happiness and hope is something else, something that was always there. Literally, from the beginning of time… The documentary film The Rumba Kings shows us that the real treasure of Congo has always been its music, specifically Congolese rumba music, the rhythm that helped Congo fight colonial oppression, that became the soundtrack to the country’s independence and that took Africa by storm with its mesmerizing guitar sounds.

    EVOLUTION OF URBAN MUSIC IN ZAIRE 1 9 7 5 -1 9 9 5 73 THE EVOLUTION OF URBAN MUSIC IN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO DURING THE 2nd & 3rd DECADES (1975-1995) OF THE SECOND REPUBLIC — ZAiRE by KAZADIWA MUKUNA Elsewhere, 1 I argue that the implementation of the quota system in higher education in the 1960s was one of the catalysts for the rise of a large new generation of musicians and musical ensembles in Zaire during the first decade of the Second Republic. In the same source I assert that the musical style of the younger generation of musicians was laden with borrowings of phrasing referents1 2 (time-line patterns) and melodic formulae from ethnic music. Unlike the first, the last two decades of the Second Republic, stigmatized by the sagging economy and die decadence of the political structure, sent a series of negative impacts to all facets of the national life, culminating in the closing of the chapter on President Mobutu’s thirty-two year regime (May 20, 1965 through May 17,1997). The failed attempt by the government to eradicate tribalism reinforced instead ethnic consciousness, whose lasting effect continues to be felt well after the May 17 liberation. While becoming indifferent to the political regime and its leadership, musicians remained faithful to their respective ethnic traditions, and reflected this ethnic awareness in the newly established style. These two realities prevailed during the last two decades of the Second Republic as sources of inspiration as the situation compounded. What became a deplorable condition was sung about in a new genre of lyrics filled with a message of hope spiked with holy and biblical names, 3 encouraging the population to pray for quick deliverance from the miseries to which it had been submitted for such a long period.
