Descripción del proyecto CONGOTOPIA proposes a new approach to the historical phenomenon of decolonization. Built on a rich bibliography in history, anthropology and sound studies, this project examines the movement of people, ideas and music put into motion by the Pan-African appeal of Congolese rumba. Inspired by early Afro-Cuban records, this dance music emerged in 1940s Leopoldville (current-day Kinshasa) and Brazzaville and soon became Africa’s most influential popular style thanks to the development—unique to Africa—of local radio stations and recording companies. Across different territories yearning for their independence, Congolese sound inaugurated a utopic Africa, audible over various Afro-Cuban rhythms and multi-voiced harmonies mixing Spanish with various African languages. While closely associated with pleasure, romance and fantasy, this popular music became a powerful marker of decolonization—in the 1960s, it inflamed Angolan nationalists’ spirit during the liberation war while allowing great Brussels-based musicians such as Manu Dibango to jump in feet first with the question of Africa. Examining the global, trans-imperial geography of Congolese rumba between Cuba, West Central Africa and Europe will reframe the conception of decolonization and the movements through which it unfolded in the period 1930-1974. By straddling the traditional divide between Francophone and Portuguese territories while reconnecting the African continent to the Southern Atlantic, it challenges established approaches to decolonization and sheds light on the history of a space (West central Africa) and from a perspective (colonized people’s) that have long been marginalized in the field of African studies. As the Congo(s) and Angola are impossible to fully dissociated from their multi-layered relations with Cuba in the period 1930-1974, the study of this musical region will deepen or understing of the Global South from an African perspective.
