The genre we chose

The genre that me and my partner have chosen is a song that has an Ivorian and Congolese mix.
we feel that being natives from those country will allow us to stretch our artistic skills and more so be able to express ourselves easily within our music video we also have a lot of similar ideas that we can bring together.

Facts about Congolese music

Music of the Democratic Republic of the Congo varies in its different forms. Outside of Africa, most music from the Democratic Republic of Congo is called Soukous, which most accurately refers instead to a dance popular in the late 1960s. The term rumba or rock-rumba is also used generically to refer to Congolese music, though neither is precise nor accurately descriptive.

People from the Congo have no single term for their own music, per se, although muziki na biso ("our music") was used until the late 1970s, and now the most common name is ndule, which simply means music in the Lingala language; most songs from the Democratic Republic of the Congo are sung in Lingala.
