Día del Lingala

La lengua que conecta Brazzaville con Kinshasa, con el río Congo, con la selva, con la música. El lingala es la lengua del soukous, de las canciones de amor, de las negociaciones en el mercado, de los anuncios de radio. Puedes viajar de Brazzaville a Bangui y ser entendido porque el lingala llegó allí primero.
