abstract:
In this article, I analyse some texts of the Congolese songwriter Remmy Ongala. I
outline his biography and career from Kindu and Kisangani (Democratic Republic
of Congo) to Songea and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). My analysis is focused on style
of his texts: through a comparative approach between his textual traditions, I
propose a reading of his poetic conception and its contextualization as verbal art,
that means focussing on the aesthetics of text.
