Sometime between 1956 and 1958 the President of the Catholic Missions Pavilion for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair, Mgr. Guffens, S. visited Kamina and requested an audition of the Troubadours. The audition resulted in an invitation to perform in Belgium. In 1958 the choir made a concert tour of Europe, performing in Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Since the Missa Luba was created in 1957, it is highly probable that the mass was set especially for performance on the 1958 concert tour. extract from Doris Anna McDaniel Thesis.

Sung by les troubadours du roi baudouin. Like so many of the other reviewers, I first discovered this album on vinyl in the mid-1960s, when I was in search of old and alternative liturgical music. It's important to note that these pieces are done in a 'pure congolese' style. Among other things, that means they sound much different from the Talisman renderings of modern compositions such as the Baba Yetu Swahili version of the Lord's Prayer. Ref nº: 117343150.

The Missa Luba is a unique setting of the Latin Mass, sung in styles traditional to the Democratic Republic of Congo: the Kyrie, for instance, is in the style of a kasala a Luba song of mourning and the Sanctus and the Benedictus are inspired by Bantu farewell songs. In its day, it was the most successful of many world music Masses created around the 1950s and 1960s, becoming even more popular than the 1964 Misa Criolla and the 1966 Misa Flamenca. The Missa Luba was performed for the first time in that very same town in March 1958, the same year it was recorded
