THE RUMBA KINGS
7:30PM SAT 2ND JULY
Congo’s real treasure does not lie underground. A powerful musical experience showing us why Congo is one of the motherlands of music
The Rumba Kings celebrates the epic quest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, an African nation that fought colonial oppression, found freedom, and forged a new identity through music and created the electrifying beat of Congolese rumba. A beat that would carry Congo through its independence and conquer the entire African continent with its infectious groove, captivating guitar licks, and smooth vocals.
