This is Abeti Masikini, ft. her brother Aboumba, during the three-day #music #festival held in #Kinshasa, DR #Congo 🇨🇩, surrounding the famous Rumble in the Jungle between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in 1974.
Abeti's #music is a #fusion of traditional and western genres, from #soukous to #blues. Unfortunately, she died in 1994, at the age of 39, due to cancer, but in her short life she recorded 21 albums and is rightfully regarded as a #Congolese musical icon.
