Congolese Music - The Fifth Generation

<p>In the early 2000s, Afropop told the story of “Four Generations” in Congolese music—from <em>rumba </em>and rumba-rock to <em>soukous </em>and <em>ndombolo</em>. Now time has marched on, and once again, thrilling new sounds are emerging from Kinshasa and its global diaspora. We’ll hear hyper-kinetic root-rock from <strong>Jupiter and Okwess</strong>, <strong>Fally Ipupa</strong>’s embrace of the current Afrobeats trend, experimental innovations from<strong> Pierre Kwenders</strong> in Montreal, and more. We’ll also speak with Congolese music connoisseur <strong>Lubangi Muniania</strong> for insights into the latest trends in one of Africa’s greatest musical powerhouses.</p> <p>#congo #lubangimuniania #fallyipupa #jupiterandokwess #pierrekwenders #ndombolo #ndombolodance #fabregas #lemétisnoir #mascara #yamado</p>
