In the late 1950s and early 1960s, musicians in the Congo wove together a rainbow of influences – Cuban music, jazz, French variété, American pop, traditional tribal music – and created Congolese rumba.

Guitarists like Nicolas ‘Dr Nico’ Kasanda, Antoine ‘Tino Baroza’ Tshilumba, and the great ‘Franco’ Luambo Makiadi created a whole new guitar language – rhythmic, melodic, hypnotic – that gradually began spreading across the country and beyond.

Then, in 1969, a radical new group called Zaiko Langa Langa arrived on the scene: they tied a rock to the rumba style and revolutionized Congolese pop, putting the guitar at the center of the long, extended dance break that bought their songs a climax.

They called this part of the song the ‘sebene’.Zaiko’s youthful, hi-energy style was called sebene at home and soukous in other parts of the world.

It turned the top guitarists of the day, men like Roxy Tshimpaka, Beniko Popolipo, and Pépé Felly Manuaku into musical gods.
