The Sound of Kinsasha: Guitar Classics from Zaire (1993)



This album is a compilation created by musicologist John Storm Roberts in an effort to trace the evolution of the rumba and to analyze the influence of Cuban rhythms on African folk styles. This collection serves to present an dizzying array of heavy rhythms as well as a primer to some Sub-Saharan popular guitar styles.
