The
Theme
EVENING WEAR WITH AFRICAN TOUCH...
"The culture of both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Congo reflects the great diversity and different customs which exist in the country.
Congolese culture combines the influence of tradition to the region, but also combines influences from abroad which arrived during the era of colonization but have not destroyed the individuality of many tribal's customs."
