Great post, thanks...Only that, according to that recordings location map, would rather be Congo - Brazzaville (Republic of Congo), and not "Democratic Republic of Congo", aka Congo - Kinshasa, or the former "Zair"...by the way, bolingo, this nickname of yours means "love" in Ligala, which is a lingua-franca in the both Congos...
