Les Bantous de la Capitale!Tune in for another program that features the music of this great band.
This time around, we'll hear songs primarily from the 70s and 80s.
The program will start with a track from their 2007 CD, then we''l go back in time to hear the vocal artistry of Pamelo Mounk'a and Kosmos Moutouari. We'll hear all this on CD, LP and 45 RPM.
We'll also hear from groups that broke away in the 70s: Le Peuple and Bantous "Monument"as well as some solo ventures by members of the band.

Its history starts when six musicians, authors, type-setters playing in various already famous formations (Rock'n'roll-HAVe-Mambo, OK Jazz, Négro Jazz…) in Léopoldville - today, Kinshasa - join their original Brazzaville at the beginning of independence.
ReplyDeleteIt is precisely on August 15, 1959 that create for themselves Bantous of the Capital which will not be long in becoming the emblem of this crucial time of the history of the country and the pioneers of the Congolese rumba. After many separations and reformations, the group counts still today in its rows four of the original members. The four-bit byte of seniors whom constitute Nino Malapet, Essous Jean Serge, Nkouka Célestin, Edo Nganga, from now on is reinforced by the presence of young people and less young artists.
More than one group, Bantous of the Capital also represent a true institution and an authentic section of the historical heritage of the African in general and Congolese music in particular.
