Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of the Congo Compared
Added 2020-07-30 03:49:45 +0000 UTCMaking this video was quite the journey. First of all, I learned a lot. Second, it just took a really long time, and footage was scarce. I didn't want to make these two countries look negative, but even just stating objective facts can spin it that way. The bottom line is, I meant what I said at the end of the video about these two. Hold me to it!
Take care everyone, and thank you for your continued support!

2020-08-08 16:28:28 +0000 UTCThank you for covering these two countries! They are both quite obscure to us in the West, so there is a great need to educate people about them.

2020-08-04 00:23:13 +0000 UTCIt actually talks about the Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste. An unemployed jet pilot teaching himself to become an orchestra conductor. And the orchestra he forms (from part-time volunteers who actually repair their own instruments through their own ingenuity) as they go on a concert tour in the UK!

2020-07-30 13:55:38 +0000 UTCI never heard of it, but thanks for bringing it to my attention!

2020-07-30 13:54:52 +0000 UTCThat was one of the most educational videos you've ever done from my perspective. I know so little about this region, I kept waiting for you to introduce Idi Amin. And I also thought the word "pygmy" was pejorative until now. I feel so enriched right now, I think I'll walk over to a museum, and stand outside. Thanks for keeping the synapses lubricated.
