Lita Bembo –
the great showman of Congo-Zaïrean music
– was one of the most inspirational musicians
of the 'new generation' that stormed Kinshasa
in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band
Stukas du Zaïre. His unique
blend of impassioned Ekonda vocal styles and
frenetic guitar patterns turned his compositions
into instant hits, while his eccentric stage
antics and innovative dance routines endeared
him to young and old alike. The music, like
the man, remains larger than life.
