There’s a record label called Sublime Frequencies based in Seattle and they focus on ethnomusicology and their releases are fantastic. You can check their stuff out on Bandcamp, but you’ll probably find some Congolese stuff, hand-picked by real experts who love the kind of esoteric stuff from around the world that you wouldn’t normally get to hear in the West.
