TABU LEY ROCHEREAU RHUMBA VIDEO MIX - DJ ROYAL D

Pascal-Emmanuel Sinamoyi Tabu (November 13, 1940 – November 30, 2013), popularly known as Tabu Ley Rochereau, was a legendary Congolese rumba singer and musician. He rose to prominence in the late 1950s as a key vocalist for Joseph Kabasele's iconic band, L'African Jazz, where he sang on the pan-African hit "Indépendance Cha Cha." In 1963, Tabu Ley co-founded African Fiesta with Dr. Nico Kasanda, pioneering a new, faster style of Congolese rumba that would later evolve into soukous. After their split, he formed African Fiesta National, which became one of Africa's most successful bands, launching the careers of many influential musicians. In 1970, he established Orchestre Afrisa International, further solidifying his status as a leading figure in African music. Afrisa International toured globally and produced numerous hits, blending Congolese rhythms with Latin and Western influences. Tabu Ley was known for his smooth vocals, innovative arrangements, and captivating stage presence, often featuring his group of female dancers, "Les Rocherettes." Beyond his musical achievements, Tabu Ley briefly ventured into politics in the Democratic Republic of Congo after the fall of Mobutu Sese Seko. He is considered one of Africa's most influential vocalists and prolific songwriters, leaving behind a vast discography and a lasting impact on the continent's musical landscape. He passed away in Brussels, Belgium, in 2013, leaving behind a remarkable legacy.
