Playlist for 10.02.2008—Emmanuel Nado
On tonight’s show I featured the music most Africans grew up with in the early years of freedom from colonization. In the late 50s and through the 60s, as we Africans south of the Sahara were enjoying the scent of freedom, we danced to the beat of a music style called Congolese Rumba. It sounded like the Cuban son for those of you familiar with afro-Cuban music. We simply called it ‘Congo Music’. The style developed in the two Congos, Congo Kinshasa (formerly Zaire, now D.R. Congo) and Congo Brazzaville the later was a former French colony and the other a former Belgium colony. Both countries are a 30-minute ferry ride across the Congo River from each other.
The genre incorporated traditional African rhythms, afro Spanish music from the Caribbean and a pinch of French speaking Europeans. Congolese rumba was the foundation of what we know today as soukous, Congolese guitar dance style, which continued to influence the rest of the African continent.
Some of the early pioneers were Orchestres Africa Jazz, OK Jazz, Ryco Jazz, Elegance Jazz, Les Bantous de la Capitale, Les Conbantous, Empire Bakuba, Tabu Ley Rochereau, Kabasele, Franco, Dr. Nico, and Manu Dibango, to name just a few.
Side note: Notice how many of these orchestras's names end with the word "Jazz"? This is because— even though the style had Afro-Cuban influences—its birth was to African music what jazz was to the music of America. These bands’ brass sections were very much influenced by American jazz.
