Long-lasting band that was among the first to visit Kenya but undoubtedly went back to Zaire. Formed in Kinshasa in 1966 they were releasing albums in East Africa in the early 70s. They may have had two branches: one based in Congo and one on tour. They also seem to have merged with an East African band called City Five, led by Chuza Kabaselle.
