  • 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. La rumba congolaise est protégée depuis décembre 2021 au titre de son inscription au Patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité. (fr)

  • Congolese rumba is a musical genre and a dance used in formal and informal spaces for celebration and mourning. It is primarily an urban practice danced by a male-female couple. Performed by professional and amateur artists, the practice is passed down to younger generations through neighbourhood clubs, formal training schools and community organisations. The rumba is considered an integral part of Congolese identity and a means of promoting intergenerational cohesion and solidarity. (en)
