Music and dance are deeply rooted in the DNA of the Congolese. And it is out of the question to wait for Friday evening or the night to start singing and moving. Even if at the end of the week, we go wild more. Congolese rumba developed from Cuban influences in the 1950s. This rhythmic music, typical for the sound of the guitar and the often high-pitched voice of the singers, is also characterized by a specific dance that can be seen in action in all the clubs of the country.

Budget & Tips

Although alcohol is becoming increasingly popular in some places, beer remains the undisputed fuel for evenings out in bars and discos. In the City, prices will be more affordable than in the big clubs. When it comes to music, the sound level seems to be an important criterion for the Congolese, and it's too bad if sometimes (especially in the cités) the amp and the patched-up baffles spit out more sound distortion than musical notes.

Night transport

At night, a cab is more than highly recommended to get back to your hotel in the big cities, especially in Kinshasa.
