Description:
The inter-locked guitars, swinging horn sections and sublime vocal harmonies are what make Congolese rumba the most exciting and infectious dance music in Africa. The Rough Guide To Congo Gold picks out some of the best examples from rumba innovators that include Franco & OK Jazz, Tabu Ley Rochereau, 'Docteur' Nico, Sam Mangwana and Madilu.
