I am not someone who really has friends. All the people I call friends are people I love playing music with. We don’t need anything else in common if we have music... that’s why I am still hanging out with this mundele since we first jammed…..

School of Rumba is the Westerners' initiation, like a graduation for the mindele in the band. Haha. This is their mastery of the musical language of Congolese Rumba. It's not easy to play but...

It's easy to dance to! Welcome to the School of Rumba.
