Tash LC digs into the roots of Congolese Rumba – The Listening Room

DJ, presenter and record collector Tash LC traces the roots and evolution of Congolese rumba and soukous through a stack of original records at The Listening Room at 180 Studios, London. From the colonial-era choral recordings of Missa Luba to the foundational guitar work of Franco and OK Jazz, through Papa Wemba, the soukous explosion in Paris, the pioneering women of Congolese music — Mbilia Bel, Pongo Love — and into contemporary Kinshasa sounds from KOKOKO!, Tash discusses the music that defined Congolese identity and continues to shape global dance music today. Recorded on Devon Turnbull's handmade hi-fi system at 180 Studios, 180 The Strand, London. The Listening Room is an ongoing series from The Vinyl Factory in which artists, selectors and writers explore music through focused listening and archival research.
