Congolese Music - The 5th Generation
In the early 2000s, Afropop told the story of \u201cFour Generations\u201d in Congolese music\u2014from rumba and rumba-rock to soukous and ndombolo. Now time has marched on, and once again, thrilling new sounds are emerging from Kinshasa and its global diaspora. We\u2019ll hear hyperkinetic roots-rock from Jupiter and Okwess, Fally Ipupa\u2019s embrace of the current Afrobeats trend, experimental innovations from Pierre Kwenders in Montreal, and more. We\u2019ll also speak with Congolese music connoisseur Lubangi Muniania for insights into the latest trends from one of Africa\u2019s greatest musical powerhouses.\n\nProduced by Morgan Greenstreet\n\nAPWW #777
