Orchestra Super Mazembe was a band based in Kenya that
played lingala and benga music. The group had roots in Super Vox, a band formed
by Mutonkole Longwa Didos in 1967 in DR Congo, with Lovy Longomba and Kassongo Wa Kanema on vocals. In 1974, the band moved to Nairobi
and changed its name to Orchestra Super Mazembe. Regarded as one of the golden
era lingala music acts, Super Mazembe released the classic “
Kasongo” and popularized
their own dance style,
mushosho, which
enabled them to dominate the East African music scene. Beset with problems, the
group vanished from the
African music scene in the mid 1980s. Attempts to
revive the group ended in 1999 following the death of leading band member
Longwa Didos.
