Col. Joseph MOBUTU seized power and declared himself president in a November 1965 coup. He subsequently changed his name - to MOBUTU Sese Seko - as well as that of the country - to Zaire. MOBUTU retained his position for 32 years through several subsequent sham elections as well as through the use of brutal force. Ethnic strife and civil war, touched off by a massive inflow of refugees in 1994 from fighting in Rwanda and Burundi, led in May 1997 to the toppling of the MOBUTU regime by a rebellion led by Laurent KABILA.

    Extractions: The culture of the Democratic Republic of the Congo reflects the diversity of its hundreds of ethnic groups River Congo on the coast, upriver through the rainforest and savanna in its centre, to the more densely populated mountains in the far east. Since the late 19th century, traditional ways of life have undergone changes brought about by colonialism, the struggle for independence, the stagnation of the Mobutu era, and most recently, the First and Second Congo Wars . Despite these pressures, the customs and cultures Western influences. Map of the major Bantu languages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Like many African countries, the borders were drawn up by colonial powers, and bore little relation to the actual spread of ethno-linguistic groups. There are around 250 languages spoken in the country, with perhaps a similar amount of ethnic groups. Broadly speaking, there are four main population groups: Pygmies , the earliest inhabitants of the Congo, are generally hunter-gatherers who live in the forests. Expert in the ways of the forest, where they have lived for thousands of years, they live by trading meat hunted in the forest with their taller, farming neighbors in exchange for agricultural products. Increasingly, they are becoming absorbed into non-pygmy society, and adopting their languages and customs.

It wasn't an easy life, but it was transformed five years ago when they left Congo for the European concert circuit, found that their furious, distorted style was compared to anyone from Lee Perry and Can to the Velvet Underground, and won a cult following among fans of electronic rock and dance styles. "I don't know the electronics scene," the band's elderly founder Mawangu Mingiedi told me, "but I'm very glad that people who don't know African music like what I'm doing." Now Konono are back to promote a new album, Assume Crash Position, though without 79-year-old Mingiedi, who has decided to stay at home. His son Augustin has taken over but, thankfully, at this concert the Konono approach was unchanged. They still played full tilt, and if it hadn't been for Augustin's neat black suit and shirt, they could have been in a local bar, blasting out their distorted songs through speakers that looked like relics from the independence era.
