What is "barumbu"

Barumbu is a municipality ( commune) in the Lukunga district of Kinshasa, the capital city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It is situated in the north of Kinshasa, south of Gombe and the Boulevard du 30 Juin. Barumbu is historically significant because it developed along with the old town of Kinshasa, into the modern city Kinshasa, and formerly Léopoldville.
