The Carmina Burana in Kinshasa

07 April 2009 | 08:58 | English
DR Congo's only symphony orchestra during rehearsalIf I were a film maker, I would want to have made a documentary like this. In 1993 a Congolese jobless pilot started the only symphony orchestra of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thus Orffs Carmina Burana sounds in a popular quarter of the capital of Kinshasa. The voilinist sells bread on the streets, the horn player is a tv presentator and the tenor is a hair dresser who gives away arias while he is shaving his costumers.
