Today we are headed across the ocean to the heart of Africa -- to the country many consider to be the heartBEAT of African music -- the Democratic Republic of Congo. In our next stop for our summer series, Around the World with Busy Kids Love Music will be learning about the rich and diverse folk music of the Congolese people.
