Antoine Kasongo Kitenge was a Congolese clarinetist, saxophonist, bandleader, and composer who played a significant role in the rise of modern urban music in Léopoldville (now Kinshasa) during the 1940s and 1950s. He is regarded as one of the earliest innovators of Congolese rumba and brass-band orchestration. Kasongo's orchestra became especially known for helping introduce and popularize the sebene, an instrumental section structured around cyclical melodic phrases, polyrhythmic guitar interplay, and syncopated rhythmic accompaniment that later became central to rumba and soukous arrangements.
