In the 1930s and 1940s, Afro-Cuban son groups such as [[Septeto Habanero]], [[Trio Matamoros]] and Los Guaracheros de Oriente were played over [[Radio Congo Belge]] in Léopoldville ([[Kinshasa]]), gaining widespread popularity in the country during the following decades.<ref name="encyc1">{{cite book|last1=Appiah|first1=Anthony|last2=Gates|first2=Henry Louis|title=Encyclopedia of Africa, Volume 1|date=2010|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford, UK|pages=407–408|isbn=9780195337709|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A0XNvklcqbwC&pg=RA1-PA407}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Storm Roberts|first1=John|title=The Latin Tinge: The Impact of Latin American Music on the United States|date=1999|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York, NY|pages=[https://archive.org/details/latintingeimpact0000robe/page/n228 217]–218|edition=2nd|url=https://archive.org/details/latintingeimpact0000robe|url-access=registration}}</ref> Their recordings were also made available to the public as part of the [[G.V. Series]] of 10" singles released by the British record label, [[His Master's Voice (British record label)|His Master's Voice]] throughout Africa. Once local bands tried to emulate the sound of Cuban son (incorrectly referred to as "rumba" in Africa, despite being unrelated to [[Cuban rumba]]), their music became known as Congolese rumba or rumba Lingala. By the late 1960s, Congolese rumba was an established genre in most of Central Africa, and it would also impact the music of [[West Africa|West]] and [[East Africa]] under [[Muziki wa dansi]]. [[Franco Luambo Makiadi|Franco]]'s [[OK Jazz]] and [[Le Grand Kallé]]'s [[Le Grand Kallé et l'African Jazz|African Jazz]] were amongst the most successful Congolese rumba ensembles of the 20th century. A faster subgenre known as [[soukous]] (from the French word ''secouer'', "to shake") was developed in the late 1960s by bands such as [[African Fiesta]] and is often used as a synonym of the former.<ref name="encyc1" /><ref name="encyc2">{{cite book|last1=Peek|first1=Philip M.|last2=Yankah|first2=Kwesi|title=African Folklore: An Encyclopedia|date=2004|publisher=Routledge|location=New York, NY|page=548|isbn=9781135948733|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SmmUAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA548}}</ref><ref name="secouer">{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4449654.stm|title=Soukous dance king rules Kinshasa|date=18 November 2005|via=news.bbc.co.uk}}</ref>
