Second episode of the series “Le partage” with the same recipe: high-quality bissap and the same two protagonists. Tangé, a Congolese comedian, shares his eventful career. We learn more about his early memories of Emil Abossolo-Mbo and his studies. Far from the clichés about comedians, Tangé studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa and then visual arts at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg.
The Congo is nicknamed “The Land of Thirst.” “The Congo is one of the main ancestral cultural lands,” Emil Abossolo-Mbo. Tangé’s journey shows us someone who was able to break free from the social determinism dictated by society. He wanted to make his parents proud, and he was able to take risks and venture into areas where his loved ones did not expect him to go.
Beyond the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa’s real wealth lies in its people. The continent is full of living diamonds waiting to be supported. Dieudonné Kabongo Bashila gave Tangé valuable advice on launching his artistic career, and Emil Abossolo-Mbo’s various roles inspired Tangé to take the plunge.
There is still much to be done for Africa. So many pioneers to promote and young talents to launch. Curiosity has many virtues. It is one of the keys to magnifying Africa’s wonderful beauty. “Arm yourself with knowledge to the teeth.” Professor Cheikh Anta Diop.
