Happy Friday! In March 2021, we took a two week trip to Kinshasa for a visit ✈️ . We also wanted to showcase our experience and planned to do the typical sharing of tidbits on social with you all. As a growing platform, our aim is to curate and present unique content that resonates with the audience in the diaspora space 📝 . So we thought, how do we showcase our trip + Kinshasa, in way that you all haven't seen before ? 🤔 that's how the idea to start a series was born ! 💡 We started by coordinating pre-production before we made the trip, and encountered obstacles 😩. We didn’t know how it was going to come together, but when you take action the universe responds🙏🏾. Once we landed , the pieces came together. We found our crew on week one and we were able to shoot all episodes on our last week along with juggling all other unrelated plans💥. We are so excited to announce our new series, Kinshasa by Locals, a look inside the locals living and thriving in Kinshasa. For these episodes, we choose to focus on those who moved back to Kinshasa from abroad. We came up with this title because our vision is for the series to evolve and eventually explore other local life from different cities in Congo and other African countries. Swipe left for the preview "postcards" from our series, make sure to subscribe on YouTube using the link in bio so you don't miss out on the episode premiering this Sunday! Comment below on your thoughts. Drop a 🙌🏾 if your excited to watch ! #kinshasalabelle #bisonabisotv #diaspora

Can you believe we are halfway towards the year, month, and week? 🤯 We know it has been a while and we are back! Let’s kick off our summer comeback with this music post 💥 Ever heard of the Orchestre Les Mangelepa band? We came across a remix of their song called Nyako Konya produced by @uprootandy @secousse.tv . Les Mangelepa was one of the many bands that helped popularized rumba in East Africa. The band was founded by Congolese musicians from Lumubashi who moved to Kenya after they couldn't find success in Kinshasa during the 1970s. They released sounds using a mix of Kishawhili/Lingala dialect along with elements the Kenya Chakacha and Benga genres over rumba-infused beats.
