Many of us know Congolese pop music.  But these guys do it with a difference:  they expressly avoid the rumba-influenced styles that have gained world renown, instead incorporating other local musics and rhythms into their songs.  And they are hot!  And exuberant!  And bitingly political!  (And don't worry:  there's still plenty of guitar!)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Well, make a lunchtime of it.  Good soup dumplings and other Shanghainese street food at Yaso Tangbao.
