Kinshasa's Kimbanguist Symphony Orchestra celebrates 20th anniversary

The only symphony orchestra in central Africa is celebrating its 20th anniversary this December.

The Congolese Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste is composed almost exclusively of amateur musicians who have taught themselves how to play their instruments.

The orchestra has achieved international recognition against all odds.
