Mokolo ya Rumba Congolaise

UNESCO recognized Congolese rumba as intangible cultural heritage in 2021. The guitar, the horn section, the sweet harmonies, the danse. From Franco and OK Jazz to Papa Wemba and beyond, rumba is not just music, it is the Congolese soul translated into sound. Every Congolese person has a rumba they claim as "their song."

You see that dogs and cats are the most beloved pets, with rabbits and native birds like tuis also commonly kept. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
