Congo Edition
World Street Corner Music Day leads today's complete edition for Congo.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.
The gentle warrior of Congolese music. JB Mpiana sings with a voice that carries both power and tenderness, and his band Wenge Musica BCBG created songs that define a generation. The JB camp versus the Werra camp is a rivalry that has lasted decades, divided neighborhoods, and created some of the best music Congo has ever produced. JB Mpiana does not need the stadium. JB Mpiana needs only a guitar and a microphone.
