Congolese scholar Ribio Nzeza Bunketi Buse joins Rebecca to speak about the many sub-styles and evolutions within Congolese popular music over the past 60 years. While many in the West refer to the music as "soukous," that's only one specific style of rumba, which also includes rumba chachacha (Joseph Kabasele & African Jazz), rumba odemba (Franco Luambo & OK Jazz), rumba cavacha (Zaiko Langa Langa), and ndombolo (Wenge Musica, Koffi Olomide, Papa Wemba). Dr. Nzeza also explains the significance of the seben, the improvisatory second section of a rumba song featuring virtuosic guitar playing.Songs played:Madre Rumba, La Sonora Matancera featuring Celia Cruz and Celio GonzalezAfrica Mokili Mobimba, Joseph Kabasele & African JazzAlimatou, Franco Luambo & OK JazzNzinzi, King Kester EmeneyaMulolo, Wenge MusicaAn homage to Grand Kallé (Joseph) Kabasele by Cuban artists and musicians:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY-BVoI93Q4Support the showIf you like this podcast, please subscribe and give us a 5-star rating on Apple PodcastsFollow The Clave Chronicles on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @clavechronicleshttps://theclavechronicles.buzzsprout.comIntro and outro music: "Bengo Latino," Jimmy Fontanez/Media Right Productions

In Episode 12 of the Nonnative Creative podcast, we hear from James Catchpole (aka Mr. OK Jazz). James was born in Brooklyn, New York and moved to Seoul, South Korea for a few years with his family when he was 10 years old. Eventually, his interest in film and music motivated him to explore Japan. Through living in Japan, he found out about jazz cafes (jazz kissa), and decided to launch TokyoJazzSite.com, an English-language resource that shares details about jazz and listening bars all around Tokyo. James hosted a long-running radio show for a few years, and then shifted to podcast format (he shares music and discusses music history).
