In Congo’s Dancers, Lesley Nicole Braun uses the prism of the Congolese danseuse to examine the politics of control and the ways in which notions of visibility, virtue, and socioeconomic opportunity are interlinked in this urban African context. Its introduction in the late 1970s raised Congolese rumba’s international profile.
