扎伊尔(旧称刚果)位于非洲中部,赤道横贯全境。在这片土地上居住着二百多个部族,其中百分之八十属于班图人种(主要有卢巴、刚果、蒙戈等部族),此外还有俾格米、苏丹和尼罗特等少数民族部落。现今扎伊尔境内最早的土著是俾格米人,至少已有五千年历史,古代班图人的入侵将他们逼进了热带原始森林,时至今日他们仍处于与世隔绝的状况之中。十世纪起,刚果河流域陆续形成一些王国,十三至十四世纪时苏丹人建立了一个早期封建大国——刚果王国,现今扎伊尔即是其中一部分,到十五世纪葡萄牙人入侵时,这个国家已很昌盛。扎伊尔音乐是黑非洲音乐中之佼佼者,其音乐在十五世纪时已由葡萄牙殖民者披露,当今尤有现代的“刚果音乐”闻名于世。扎伊尔民间音乐可截然分为班图音乐和俾格米音乐这两大类。
Zaire (formerly the Congo) is located in central Africa, the equator across the entire territory. There are more than 200 tribes on this land, of which 80% belong to the Bantu (mainly the Luba, the Congo, the Mongu and other tribes), plus Pygmy, Sudan and Nilet Minority tribes. Today, the earliest indigenous people in Zaire are Pygmies, at least 5,000 years old, and the invasion of ancient Bantus has forced them into tropical virgin forests, and today they are still in isolation . From the 10th century onwards, some Congolese river basins formed one after another. Sudanese built an early feudal kingdom in the 13th-14th centuries - the Kingdom of the Congo. Nowadays, Zaire is part of this. When the Portuguese invaded the 15th century, This country is very prosperous. Zairian music is a leader in black African music, whose music was disclosed by Portuguese settlers in the 15th century and is known today for its modern “Congo music.” Zaire folk music can be divided into Bantu music and Pygmy music, these two categories.
