Congo Zaire, River Boat with Barges, 1984
Congo Zaire, River Boat with Barges, 1984 - After several days on the Congo riverboat, several barges had tied on. At each major port on the river, a barge would await. As the Colonel Ebeya pulled up, the barges would lash their ropes onto her, and we would proceed downriver as one. I called it the Moving Zoo. There was a market, dancing on tops of the roofs, a nightclub, and a steady stream of villagers in canoes selling monkeys, fish and fruits, etc. I was most impressed by the ease and grace with which the Zairois and Zairose danced. I had felt awkward dancing when I was younger. I was so inspired I danced with them. Later, I even took lessons in African dance.
