Rhythms of the World

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Groove Zaire
The history of Zaire's music over the past 30 years is surveyed with contributions from the veteran singer
Tabu Ley Rochereau , the recognised father of the rhythms known as 'soukous'; from Kanda Bongo Man , king of the 'kwassa kwassa' dance; and from Ray Lema who combines his Zairean sounds with other influences, from oriental ragas to Jimi Hendrix guitar licks.
