One of the world’s top guitarists has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the sheer joy of playing music, and how it led him to discover a new life, and a new world. Niwel Tsumbu grew up in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he was surrounded by Congolese music. But it wasn’t until later in life that he discovered jazz and his mind turned to music. He now lives in Cork, Ireland and is in Paris to perform a concert organised by the Irish Cultural Centre. He spoke to us in Perspective.
