This image depicts an indoor gathering in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The scene occurs within a room featuring unadorned, reddish-brown walls, an earthen floor, and a corrugated metal roof supported by exposed wooden beams. Bright daylight enters through at least two rectangular openings, visible on the left and center-back, causing high contrast and partial overexposure. Approximately 10 to 15 individuals, consisting of adults and children, are present. On the far left, a person in a dark shirt is seated, actively playing a light brown, traditional-style drum. To their right, a woman in a vibrant, multi-colored patterned dress stands, appearing to move rhythmically. Towards the center-right, a man with a beard, wearing a striped shirt and dark trousers, stands with both hands raised and fingers extended, in a gestural posture. Several other individuals, primarily women in patterned dresses and at least one child in a red top, are distributed throughout the background and right side of the frame, engaged in standing positions and various movements.
