Congo (COG)

The Republic of the Congo, with its lush rainforests and winding rivers, is a place where city life in Brazzaville meets the traditions of forest-dwelling communities. Congolese people are known for their vibrant rumba music, colorful textiles, and a strong sense of kinship. Christianity is the main faith, but many also honor ancestral spirits and participate in traditional ceremonies. Spirituality is often expressed through energetic church services, drumming, and storytelling that connects the present to the past.
