The Kinshasa Symphonic Orchestra

This is exactly what I mean when I talk about art for the sake of art. I love the smile on the barber after he’s done singing. [via Michael and Elia]

This, David, is one of the best posts I have ever come across – EVER. I love reading your analysis and your interpretation and insight into/of everything from politics to books to whatever, but the language these people speak really blew me away. Thanks for the smile. -M

I lived in the eastern region of Zaire (DRC) during the early 1990s. I spent a total of about 14 days in Kinshasha during the year and a half I was in the entire country. I was struck by the vibrancy and dynamics of the place among other things (smile). This video brought much joy and fond memories to me. THANKS!
