Another story: The legends who make Rhumba music immortal.

Regardless of being silenced by death, Rhumba hitmakers like Franco Luambo Makiadi, Jean de Diue Makiese, Papa Wemba & Tabuley still top the list of most popular hits. It is through the passion and love for this genre that some of the biggest fans have ended up becoming presenters, hence prolonging the lifespan of Rhumba.

In their own words, Rhumba will never die and no one can kill Rhumba. Take Franco's 'Mario' hit for example, like vegetation nourished in a swampy region, it has remained evergreen for over four decades. And it's message of warning young men against seducing and admiring older women still remains relevant

In this story, we feature the best Rhumba presenters in Kenya, some who have ended up studying Lingala language and have interviewed Rhumba maestros.

Due to their love for this genre, they even mimic Congolese dressing style, leaving the fans awed and looking forward to the next show.
