HARD PLACES It was some 24 years back when this little boy was born with his eyesight blurry till the third day when the mother noticed his gaze fixated to a poster of Kanda bongo man on the wall. She knew he could see and though lonesome happiness can overwhelm you, she put the baby in the coat and went to pee outside. That is what happiness does to lonely happy souls. Rumour has it that may be…

Diblo Dibala, born in 1954 in Kisangani in the Congo (now Zaire), of the Baluba people, is the one of the hottest African Soukous lead guitarists around. At the age of 6 Diblo moved to Kinshasa and by the age of 15 he was playing guitar in the great Franco's TPOK band. In Kinshasa, Diblo continued to master his lava-hot guitar chops with such top Zairean bands as Vox Africa, Orchestre Bella Mambo, and Bella Bella.
In 1979 Diblo left Zaire and landed in Brussels where he played a rented guitar and washed dishes to make money. In 1981 he moved to Paris, where the Soukous scene was a happening thing. He rejoined Kanda Bongo Man, who he had played with in Bella Bella. Their first album, Iyole (1981), was a big hit: Kanda became a big star, and Diblo became the most sought-after session man in Paris. Diblo's huge European success with Kanda Bongo Man led to the formation of his own band, Loketo (which means 'hips', as in 'shake your...'), featuring the work of the gifted vocalist Aurlus Mabele.

Online African Drum Kit Lessons | Congolese Drumming Classes
Master The African Drum Kit
why should i Learn African Music?
The story goes that in the last part of the 1960s, Meri Djo Belobi, drummer with the spearheading Congolese band Zaiko Langa, went with his kindred performers from Brazzaville to Pointe Noire on the coast via train. The band spent the whole excursion singing to the mood of the wheels on the track. Back home, they requested that Meri Djo create a drum design that imitated that sound, and the outcome was cavacha, the heartbeat of soukous music.
The Birth Of The Cavacha Rhythm :
During the 1960s, not long after the Congo's autonomy from Belgium, most Congolese groups were playing rumba, a neighborhood understanding of the numerous Cuban records heard on Radio Congoliya and Radio Congo Belge from the 1930s onwards. Driving Congolese ensembles, for example, Le Grande Kallé's African Jazz or Tabu Ley's African Fiesta headed out increasingly more to Europe and, continuously, they traded the customary percussion of the Cuban-style rumba gatherings (congas, maracas and so forth) for a full drum unit, with its heavier musical effect.
Needs To Master Cavacha :
Permitting the cavacha mood to overwhelm the second piece of a tune, which is known as the sebene, immediately turned into a fundamental element for progress. The sebene formed into the characterizing high-energy dance-fuelled part of Congolese popular music. It generally followed on from a more slow more melodic vocal area and was portrayed by short sharp vocal additions and orders to the dancefloor, conveyed by a sort of MC called an atalaku to start up the group. Cavacha-overwhelmed sebene areas would follow rumba or zouk segments interminably as the night progressed, in the Congo, however all over sub-Saharan Africa and different pieces of the world.
Plainly assuming you needed to vanquish Africa, you needed to figure out how to play the cavacha. In 1979, in Paris, the notable Congolese artist Kanda Bongo Man gave a DJ a track of unadulterated sebene, with the underlying more slow, subtler piece of the melody eliminated. It was a moment dancefloor hit, and Kanda Bongo Man started playing his shows by dispatching straightforwardly into the sebene. His recent trend was 100% soukous, with all decorations remove and unadulterated energy abandoned.
The word soukous, from the French secousse signifying 'a shake' or 'a jerk', first arose in the last part of the 1960s in Brazzaville, to depict a fresher quicker form of the rumba style. Many case paternity, yet its real beginnings remain genuinely dark.
