Vincent Kenis Compilation
Originally released on Crammed in 1993, this beautiful 20-song collection - re-released as part of the "Congo Classics" series on Crammed that began with "Roots of Rumba Rock" in 2006 - documents the fine early work of the "Tout-Pouissant Orchestre Kinois de Jazz" or Almighty Kinshasa Jazz Orchestra, as led by the imposing "Grand Maitre" Lokanga La Ndju Pene Luambo Makiadi aka FRANCO. This reissue coincides with the 50th anniversary of DR Congo's independence from Belgian colonial rule.
These delicious mid-'50s recordings would be entirely irresistible even if they weren't also history in the making, being that their common factor is the presence of the great Franco -- along, on many of them, with other founding members of the great OK Jazz orchestra. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, Rovi
OK Jazz Band
Active Decades: '50s, '60s and '70s
Genre: Jazz, World
Legendary band formed in 1956 by the equally legendary Franco. The band's initial style was acoustic rumba-influenced material, but they grew into a big band by the '60s and were that decade's most popular, and probably best, band. Towards the '80s, their sound became more disco-influenced, and they toured Europe widely. The band became something of a training ground for the cream of Zairean musicians, with Franco remaining as leader until his rather sudden death in 1989. After a year's mourning, the group embarked on another European tour, carrying on the tradition the band had established for itself over the years quite competently.
---Steve Huey, Rovi |
