Kinshasa serves as the political, economic, and cultural center of the country, with a population of over 11 million people, making it one of the largest cities in Africa.
The city is known for its vibrant music scene, with genres such as soukous and rumba originating from this region. Kinshasa is home to numerous musicians and is often referred to as the musical capital of Africa.
