Artists working in DR Congo release Congolese rumba, soukous, ndombolo, gospel and rap. Recording happens mostly in Lingala, French and Swahili, with titles written in the Latin alphabet. For metadata, keep the artist name spelled one way across every release, leave accented characters intact rather than stripping them, and set the title language tag to the language actually sung. Setting these fields correctly at upload also avoids duplicate artist profiles later.
The local currency is Congolese franc (CDF). Royalties are reported in the currency the platform pays out in rather than converted market by market, so the exchange rate between reporting and withdrawal is worth planning for. Listeners here mostly reach new music through YouTube, radio and concert and dance-video circulation. Which platforms and stores a release can reach in this territory varies and is subject to current availability, eligibility and platform rules.
