Another wonderful video from the seventies featuring Franco and TPOK Jazz on a Simaro composition Ebale Ye Zaire. Now what is that haircut called?
Enjoy

Faute de mieux, I'ld call it a Mobutu Mop. Cracking clip by the way.

Isn't it, that Mobutu has forced the developing of soukous and paid some bands?

Does he spreat his language lingala as the main language in Congo/Zaïre...?

Also to notice was in times of poltical instability (after Mobutu) there were produced less soukous cds (BRX et Paris)...

Cracking clip...oh yessss!

On a cultural note, I'm curious as to why no men are dancing with the ladies, and what was being given to one dancing couple (money?) ?
