Weird/Cool Globalization: RAPHA BOUNDZEKI's rendition of Tenrikyo's Mikagura-uta

I know nothing about this Congolese songwriter and singer, RAPHA BOUNDZEKI, other that he did a mash-up which includes Sections 1 - 3 of Tenrikyo's Mikagura-uta (The Songs for the Service) at approximately 00:26 - 03:30 (but do watch/listen to the whole video). Sections 1-3 are part of the seated service, one of Tenrikyo's main rituals done twice a day by followers. It is accompanied by a hand dance (resembling, but not quite sign langauge). Rapha's dance is... different. Apparently he visited a Tenrikyo mission station in the Congo and picked up the words (and perhaps spirit?). I doubt this is officially sanctioned by the church, but it is lively, catchy and a great example of Weird/Cool Globalization.
