Orchestre Sinza - Auguy Ya Motema | 🇨🇩, 197?

en «Orchestre Sinza Kotoko (also known as Orchestre Sinza, Sinza Kotoko, or simply Sinza) was a pioneering Congolese soukous band founded in 1964 by guitarist Jacques Kimbembe "Mouss" in Brazzaville. Initially named as Super Band or Super Tumba, the band adopted the name Orchestre Sinza Kotoko in 1965. Widely regarded as a seminal innovator of the soukous genre, the band played a crucial role in redefining Congolese popular music through its distinct combination of conversational vocal styles, sebene-driven guitar improvisations, and a celebratory 4 4 rhythmic base. Kimbembe's signature use of doubled eighth-note phrasing, diverging from the conventional quarter-note structure, generated a free-flowing and dance-inviting feel that energized the band's sound and made their interludes especially suited for dance. Sinza Kotoko featured a notable lineup that included Kimbembe (lead guitar), Gabriel Dianzolo "ya Gaby" (bandleader and acoustic guitar), Miguel Samba (bass), Makosso (acoustic guitar), Luc Erouet Nkounkou (drums), Atos and José Mabélé (saxophones), along with a host of singers and instrumentalists, including Alphonse Lucas Bahouka, Anatole Bokassa, Michel Mampouya, Fidèle Samba, and Yacinthe Malonga, who joined the group later to complete the lineup. With a discography comprising over sixty records produced between 1969 and 1975,[7] the band rose to prominence with breakout hits "Abetina", "Eze Marceline" (by Jacques Kimbembe), "Qui Vivra Verra", "Mayoto", "Africa Complet" (by Anatole Bokassa), and "Wa Ba Nkandi Tetoka" (by Alphonse Bahouka), many of which were released through Pathé Marconi. As noted by Congolese musicologist Clément Ossinondé, the band dissolved by the 1980s.», bio at wikipedia we share here "Auguy Ya Motema", a rumba song Orchestre Sinza – Mwassi Ya Likelemba / Auguy Ya Motema Label: Pathé – 006-15050 / Pathé – E 006-15090 #congo #zaire #africanmusic #rumba #worldmusic #vinyl #congobeats #congomusic #lingala #folklore #vinyloftoday #kikongo #emrotacaocongo #digging #yekeyeke #brazzaville #soukous
