Question

Soccer was popularized in this city by the Scheutist (“SKOO-tist”) Tata Raphaël. 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 (“sahp”). This is the largest city where religions like Kimbanguism spread anticolonial resistance (10[1])in the interwar period. In this city, bands like Franco’s OK Jazz popularized rumba music sung in Lingala. A country governed from this city promoted the wearing of pagnes (“PAHN-yuhs”) and abacosts as part of authenticité (10[2]-5[1])(“oh-tawn-tee-see-TAY”). A president who hosted the “Rumble in the Jungle” (10[1])in this city changed its name from Léopoldville. For 10 points, name this city from which Mobutu Sese Seko governed Zaire (“zye-EER”), the present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo? ■END■ (10[1])
