Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin - Missa Luba: Sanctus

Missa Luba a.k.a. “that song from 1968’s If…” is a Congolese version of the Latin Mass.

In the 1950’s, Father Guido Haazen, a Belgian missionary in the Congo, created “Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin”, a choir of Congolese children. From their improvisations, Hazen arranged Missa Luba, a composition that adapted the Latin Mass to traditional Congolese melodies and rhythms.
