Government censors in Democratic Republic of the Congo banned seven pop songs last week, most of them critical of president Felix Tshisekedi and his party.
The government later overturned the ban on the most popular song among them, following public outcry and criticism from international rights groups.
Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb met with singer Bob Elvis, whose songs remain banned, in Kinshasa, capital of the DRC.
