National Anthems: Democratic Republic of the Congo

30 June 2009

permalink

This week, our search for the world's best national anthem takes us to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to consider Debout Congolais ("Arise Congolese"):

Stumpy Moose Review

Also known as Congo-Kinshasa, DROC, DRC, RDC, DR Congo and, among the cool kids, Doc Cong*, the former Zaire has a surprisingly upbeat national anthem for a country with such a horrendous recent history.

Adopted in 1960, replaced in 1971, then reinstated in 1997, Debout Congolais kicks off with a killer riff, settles into a subdued middle section then builds back up to a strong finish.

As a result, the DR Congo anthem never quite lives up to its early promise but it's a solid and respectable effort all the same.

*I made this up.

7.5 out of 10
