Congolese Rumba wins UNESCO world heritage status

By Aditi Maheshwari Congolese Rumba originated in the Congo basin during the 1940s is one of the most loved African music and dance genres. It has now earned its place on UNESCO’s intangible heritage list. Around 60 applications were submitted by countries, awaiting a decision made on Tuesday, December 14. Rumba is derived from the Kikongo word for navel, “Nkumba.” Congolese Rumba joins other traditional treasures such as Jamaican reggae music and Singaporean hawker food on UNESCO’s “intangible cultural heritage of humanity.” Rumba has become more closely associated with Latin dance despite its African origins.

Although this conversation has become increasingly common for adults, children are often overlooked, especially in countries with fewer psychological resources. Hussinatu saw this gap and is acting toward fixing that gap. Amazons Watch Magazine spoke to 22-year-old Hussinatu Bah, a Sierra Leonian based in Kigali, Rwanda. Hussinatu is in her third year of her Bachelor in Arts degree, majoring in Global challenges at African Leadership University. “Initially, I didn’t plan to study out of my country, but things did not go to plan,” She explained.
