Rumba Rules: The Politics of Dance Music in Mobutu’s Zaire

Mobutu Sese Seko, who ruled Zaire from 1965 until 1997, was fond of saying "happy are those who sing and dance," and his regime energetically promoted the notion of culture as a national resource. This title deals with political leadership, social mobility, and what it meant to be a bon chef (good leader) in Mobutu's Zaire.
