Joseph Kabasele And The Creation... (2lp)
...OF SURBOUM AFRICAN JAZZ 1960-1963' - After the two previous O.K. Jazz compilation releases, Planet Ilunga continues its mission to uncover and highlight the overlooked yet epic achievements in the world of Congolese rumba. This time to tell the most spectacular story of all. This is the story of the creation of Surboum African Jazz, the first Congolese music label founded by a Congolese. Despite a few releases of Sonodisc on LP and CD, published many moons ago, which included some important parts of the back catalogue of the label, there is still a large part of the repertoire of Surboum African Jazz that remains completely hidden from the fans. That's why Planet Ilunga associated with the children of Joseph Kabasele Tshamala (Grand Kallé) and Catherine Ingombo (Kale Kato) to compile 29 songs that were originally released on the label in the early sixties. Includes tracks by Kale-Roger, Dibango & Pepito Et Leur Formation, L'African Jazz, Manu Dibango Et Son Orchestre and Many Dibango EtnSon African Soul.
