Kanda 'kwassa kwassa' Bongo Man on dancing a new dance

Kanda Bongo Man was the king of "kwassa kwassa" - the infectious dance sound from Democratic Republic of Congo which started in the 1970s.

He was a giant of African music in the 1990s and was championed by John Peel but has been out of the spotlight since then.

Now, in 2014, he is back with a new dance and is taking it on tour.

He came to the BBC in London to teach Focus on Africa presenter, Sophie Ikenye, his new moves.
