Question

Soccer was popularized in this city by the Scheutist (“SKOO-tist”) Tata Raphaël. (-5[1])This city’s namesake Brasserie was founded in 1923 to produce Primus beer. Didier Gondola noted how “coastmen” working in this city and a northern neighbor in the 1920s inspired a dandyistic subculture called La Sape (10[3])(“sahp”). This is the largest (10[1])city where religions like Kimbanguism (10[3])spread anticolonial resistance (10[2])in the interwar period. In this city, bands like Franco’s (10[1])OK Jazz popularized rumba music sung (10[1])in Lingala. (10[1]-5[1])A country governed (10[1])from this city (10[1])promoted the wearing of pagnes (“PAHN-yuhs”) and abacosts (10[1])as part of authenticité (10[3]-5[1])(“oh-tawn-tee-see-TAY”). A president (10[2])who hosted the “Rumble in the (10[1])Jungle” (10[1]-5[1])in this (10[1])city (10[3])changed its (10[1]-5[1])name from Léopoldville. (10[2]-5[1])For 10 points, name this city (10[1])from which Mobutu Sese (10[1])Seko governed Zaire (10[1])(“zye-EER”), the present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo? ■END■ (10[2])
