Of Congolese Music and War

Congolese, particularly from DRC, play and love music so much. Quite some great music comes from there. Actually, their music rules most of Africa and parts of other continents. The late Aurlus Mabele of Congo Brazza, for instance, even gave his band the name ‘Loketo’ – no one would name their band ‘loketo’, unless they were ‘happy’ (if you don’t know the meaning of ‘loketo’ in Congolese, please find out).

My point is that, with all that ‘happy stuff’, I have never understood how and where the Congolese find time to fight. Take Eastern DRC for instance.
