Before Nigeria took over the African music scene, the Democratic Republic of Congo had us in a chokehold. But just like its minerals, the country鈥檚 music has yet to produce an industry that eases the economic suffering of its people, despite decades of supply and demand. Why? George goes to the genesis of the DRC鈥檚 economic reality by exploring the rise of Patrice Lumumba, Congo鈥檚 first prime minister. Written by George The Poet Produced by Benbrick and George The Poet Original music by Benbrick, performed by the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra. Sound Design by Benbrick.
