Congolese music incorporates a variety of musical traditions. The traditional music serves as entertainment while expressing customs, emotions, and social values, with each ethnic group developing distinct styles of singing, dancing, and vocal expression, performed at ceremonies including births, marriages, initiations, and funerals. Instruments range from drums and slit gongs used for communication to melodic instruments such as the lamellophone sanza and arched harp. These traditions are characterized by polyrhythmic percussion, pentatonic scales, collective polyphonic singing, improvisation, vocal exclamations, handclapping, and dance. According to Indian writer Vik Sohonie, Congolese rhythms "laid the groundwork for many styles of music across the Atlantic, most notably in Haiti, Cuba, and Brazil. Its guitar styles caressed Africa, inspiring artists from Senegal to Somalia to South Africa to South Sudan".

簡史

History of popular music

Lingala is by far the most widely used language in Congolese popular music. It is followed by the country's other national languages, such as Kikongo ya Leta (also called Munu Kutuba), Swahili, and Tshiluba, although their role remains much smaller in comparison, since Lingala overwhelmingly dominates most songs. Although the Democratic Republic of the Congo is home to around 450 dialects, very few are strongly represented in popular music. Most remain largely invisible because Lingala's overwhelming influence leaves little room for them to thrive artistically. Many ethnic languages have consequently faded into relative obscurity, while the remaining national languages continue to serve mostly supporting roles. The preservation of many endangered mother tongues are primarily safeguarded by folk performers and griots, who use them to maintain and celebrate their cultural traditions and ethnic identities to keep older musical forms and rhythms alive, which prevents them from disappearing completely.

Hip-hop

Kinshasa became a center for Congolese hip-hop through changes in culture, politics, and youth culture. In the late 1980s and 1990s, the city's music scene was mostly dominated by "musique typique", a popular style led by Koffi Olomidé, Werrason, and JB Mpiana. Even so, a new group of young artists began to develop hip-hop in the 1990s. The origins of Congolese hip-hop can be traced to the years of Mobutu Sese Seko's rule when political instability and growing disillusionment among youth created interest in new forms of cultural expression. Some middle- and upper-class teenagers in Kinshasa, who had access to American and French rap through satellite TV and recordings from abroad, began emulating the style and performing it at school events and private parties. After the fall of Mobutu in 1997 during the First Congo War, the media sector underwent liberalization, which led to the growth of private radio and television stations, which gave local rap artists an unprecedented opportunity to be broadcast.
