To be frank, I must admit, although I do like some of their records a lot, I am certainly not their biggest fan. Choc Stars made some 50 albums. I think the one we find today is one of their very best. With that outstanding bass, if I'm not mis- taking by Djo Mali. Real[...]

From 1986 we find this self titled album with the Choc Stars. Just for the fun of it I used Google Translate to see what the French liner notes say. En presentant ce discque, l'orchestre choc stars vous presente une nouvelle equipe composee des elements connus dans l'histoire de la musique zairoise moderne, Roxy Tshimpaka,[...]

Hello groovers, seven days are way too little to give a decent picture of the history of Congolese music. A group that many people have asked for over the years is Choc Stars. We had a couple of their records so far. This is a Zaïrian release I have found not so long ago. Vocals[...]

Op verzoek van Harris hebben we vandaag deze elpee van Les Choc Stars du Zaïre. De plaat is uit 1989 en dat is goed te horen. Zoals je op de voorkant kunt zien is hij gemaakt in Brussel, opgenomen in Studio Madeleine aldaar. De sound is in de loop der jaren tamelijk gemoderniseerd. Wat meer[...]

Op verzoek van Harris, vandaag deze Choc Stars uit 1990. We hadden er al vijf uit de jaren tachtig. Klaarblijkelijk was er een soort deal met Skol Bier, de marktleider in Guinée en Congo-Kinshasa. De zangers Ben Nyamabo, Carlito, Debaba en Zemano spoelden er de keel mee.. On request of Harris, today we have this[...]

Twee bands verenigd op één elpee vandaag. Uit de studio's van Verckys in Kinshasa hebben we hier de Langa Langa Stars en de Choc Stars die beiden deel vormden van de clan Langa Langa. Er zit en complex stuk historie achter deze groepen. Ga het net op om deze te achterhalen want ik doe niet[...]

Is that a sweet voice or what ? Choc Stars are here with Carlito, Roxy Tsimpaka, Defao..after posting the dusty African Fiesta album I wanted to make up with one that sounds clean and fresh. Four great songs that start with 'Premier Amour', not my first love but it's a jewel. Listen and agree, sweeet[...]

Very powerful album by one of the offsprings of the famous Zaïko Langa-Langa. The Choc Stars deliver a slow kind of soukous, cool and mellow yet passionate. Don't you just love Carlito's fragile vocals ? Sweet. tracks; 1 Ponini eza mpasi 2 Abengi ngai depasse 3 Mauvais souvenir, buana 4 Zikondo

It is hot in the Netherlands. With temperatures rising up to 36º C, or more this weekend. The whole country is in a hot summer mood, hanging out on terraces with big glasses of cold beer. Same time we are all very exited about being in the finals of the worldcup. Orange fever going 'round[...]

There were some requests for Choc Stars, here they come. "Founded in 1984 by Ben Nyamabo with musicians from Zaiko and Langa Langa Stars, Choc Stars developed a sound that was mellow yet passionate. The songs are generally slower than other bands' but the arrangements add up to cool seductive soukous." ( Rough Guide )[...]

Le Grand Maître Franco Luambo Makiadi passed in 1989. In 1990 le Grand Père Bozi Boziana and his group Anti-Choc released this hommage. Quite different from Franco's sound, but an absolute delightful album. I'm so sorry I don't understand Lingala, I'd love to know the words in 'Hommage à Franco'. Maybe someone can translate for[...]
