Soukous Congolés
The guitar talks fast because the night is short.
Soukous Congolés is a style from the Distant Worlds family. 130 BPM, Weirdness 22, Style Influence 93.
Electric guitars weaving together in a sebene that sets the floor on fire. Soukous congolés, the most danceable guitar music out of Africa, bright and euphoric.

Sample excerpt
Empieza lento para que todos alcancen a llegar, y cuando ya está lleno el patio, se suelta. Nadie avisa cuándo pasa, simplemente pasa, y de pronto no hay una sola persona sentada.
¡Ahora sí, que se soltó la guitarra! Ya nadie va a sentarse hasta mañana. Aquí la fiesta no se anuncia, se deja venir y se obedece.
Workshop note — Impersonal a plural, presente, arrolladora. El soukous se divide en parte lenta y sebene acelerado: la letra debe marcar ese quiebre. A 130 BPM la guitarra corre y la voz entra en frases muy cortas.
