There are customers in abudance, according to the Congolese guitar builder. Just about every church in the greater Bukavu region - and there are many – places its orders with Monsieur Zacar. 'Without guitars there would be no music in church. And without music you won't get the young', he says. 'We cannot even keep a stock. As soon as we've finished an instrument, it goes out the door.' In his workshop in artisanal school CAPA, on Bukavu's Avenue Industriel, he teaches his pupils how to build electric and acoustic guitars. Although inspired by a couple of Western examples, he boasts his products to be a hundred percent Congolese. For 150 American dollars one can obtain an original 'made in South-Kivu' electrical guitar.
