Mokolo ya Tshala Muana

The Queen of Mutuashi, the woman who took Kasaian folk rhythms and made Kinshasa dance. Tshala Muana's voice is the sound of the interior, the countryside, the ancestors. "Aisha" made the whole world understand what Congolese women already knew. Her dances were banned on television and danced in every living room anyway.
