World Routes

Rita Ray introduces one of East Africa's biggest stars, Samba Mapangala, with Orchestra Virunga in concert at the 2009 Sauti za Busara Festival in Zanzibar. Mapangala took the sounds of soukous and rumba from Congo-Zaire, making his own blend with traditions from Uganda and Kenya. In Zanzibar he sings to a Swahili-speaking audience in an event that also features celebrated guitarist Syran Mbenza.
