Live Stream / Live Chat

Hello my friends,

Many have requested chat sessions for Ciluba. Although my accent is not the best, I think we can still exchange and learn from each other about the language and the culture. I see it more like an additional way to share information rather than me providing lessons and courses.
I’m thinking about doing it on my YouTube channel, my Facebook and a few other platforms so people have the choice. I’m currently doing some tests and see what I can do with the equipment I have. I’ll keep you posted. See a sample below:

Leave a comment to let me know where you’d like to connect with me, for any questions or suggestion of topic you’d like to cover.

“Bakulumpa Bambila” by Kasayi Allstars

Kasai Allstars is a group absolutely loved by the african music critics and african music lovers and fans. Here’s one of their most recent piece. I bought the album and it’s really good. On the cover the album you can see an electrical likembe. Likembe is one of the traditional instruments of the Luba people and it can actually be found in diverse forms in  most countries of subsaharian Africa.

The lead singer is Papa Kabongo, one of the main actors of baluba folk music.

Title: Bakulumpa Bambila (Thus the Ancestors Spoke)
