Wonderful post, Soukousman!
Yes, we tend to overlook the important role played by the "other Congo" in the development of the music we love. So Orcheste Sinza outplayed Tabu Ley in Tunis? Man, how I wish we could go back into time and witness this historical moment!

Yep, Congo River tends to be neglected which is a pity because they play a significant role in the development of Congolese music; both Congos have helped each other by admiring and adopting each other's musical ideas. On that concert? I have a feeling that may lead to Tabu Ley claiming that "he pioneered Soukous", but now you know where that came from.
