Hidden Meanings in Congo Music

And yet, its cities have produced some of the
most innovative and ebullient popular music the continent has known in
the past century. Beginning in the 1950s, when Congolese music began to
be distributed on vinyl records, it found admirers and imitators
throughout East, West and Central Africa, and in much of southern
African as well. With Congolese-born ethnomusicologist and author
Kazadi wa Mukuna and arts educator and community scholar Lubangi
Muniania as guides, this Hip Deep program will delve into the untold
stories and messages disguised within the lyrics of Congolese songs.
