Missa Luba is a setting of the Latin Mass sung in styles traditional to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was composed by Fr Guido Haazen, a Franciscan friar from Belgium, and originally celebrated, performed, and recorded in 1958 by Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin (English: "King Baudouin's Troubadours"), a choir of adults and children from Kamina, Katanga Province. It would later become the partial basis for a Congolese usage of the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite Mass, the Zaire Use.
