Is Congolese rumba being put on the map?

People have been dancing the night away to the congolese rumba for more than 70 years.

Now the Democratic Republic of Congo and The Republic of Congo have launched a joint campaign to get the genre recognised internationally.

They want UNESCO to include it on a list of intangible cultural heritage.

For many people, Congolese rumba remains at the core of African music. So, how did it become so beloved?
