<em>Kinshasa</em> is the capital and the largest city of the democratic Republic of the Congo. With a great cultural diversity, this place has become the heart of music, especially of the <em>Congolese Rumba </em>or <em>Soukous</em>. It's a type of dance music that became popular throughout Africa during the 1960's and 1970's. Kinshasa is the place where many great bands and artists have been born. Music is everywhere in this city. It's the place where there are many recording studios and where a series of festivals are celebrated every year. It's the only African city that hosts the National Institution of Arts providing training for musicians and other artists. The Congolese Rumba has become known internationally when musicians began recording in Europe.
