The Rumba Kings plot

"Congo's real treasure does not lie underground"

In the 1950s, a generation of Congolese musicians created a new exciting beat: Congolese Rumba, a mix of traditional African rhythms and Afro-Cuban music. This music conquered all of Africa with its infectious groove, compelling guitar licks and sultry vocals. With interviews, testimonials and archive footage, The Rumba Kings honors the legendary stars who made Congolese Rumba known around the world in the 1960s and 1970s.
