Champaign-Urbana's new African dance band, interpreting hits from the
enduring and vibrant music scene of the city of Kinshasa in the Democratic
Republic of Congo.  With its roots in Afro-Cuban music, Congolese popular
music is a dazzling mix of latin and African rhythms, beautiful melodies and

across the African continent for over a half century, and now "Rumba na
Biso" brings these sounds to central Illinois: *guaranteed to make your body
