Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of the Congo Compared

Making 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!

I appreciate you sharing that link.

Mr. Beat

It was my pleasure!

Mr. Beat

Thank 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.

It 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!

lol well thank you. Yeah, one of the best parts about making these types of videos is that I get to learn so much through the process.

Mr. Beat

I never heard of it, but thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Mr. Beat

That 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.

Check out the documentary Congo Calling! Really shows what ordinary people from Kinshasa can do!
