Hi Moos,
I am wondering, why you don’t ever mak a difference between the two Congo states. I would like to know, what Contry of Congo your music comes from.

Hi Joachim,
Well, it is simply because this is not always clear.
If the record reveals this information I could do it but mostly it doesn’t.
I’m sorry but you’ll have to do some homework yourself and dig the web for more info..

This band is from Congo Brazzaville – I think some of them evolved into Veritable Mandolina, and vocalist Rapha Boundzeki was there for a while (I think) (search these names on youtube for more music)

That is some WONDERFUL music that I have never heard before. Sounds like Brazza’s answer to early Zaiko or Viva. Thanks for the opportunity to listen!
