Joseph Lutumba is a Congolese lyricist and the author of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's national anthem. When the Democratic Republic of the Congo was renamed to Republic of Zaire, he was also the one who composed the national anthem known as the La Zaïroise. The La Zaïroise was eventually replaced when the country was renamed back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo by the original national anthem "Debout Congolais".[1]
