Nice to see Aurlus active again. He's had to fight through numerous illnesses since the early 2000's

So heartwarming to see him again. This man and the likes of Kanda Bongo Man will always be the Grand Masters of Congolese Music. Hits after hits and now Classics after classics. That is Djuny Claude next to right?

This man was a household name in the 80's and 90's with the Group Loketo.

He revived the soukous beat and his group was all the rage in Africa. Loketo was the home of some big names like
Geo Gilongo, Jean Baro, Diblo Dibala e.t.c.

After some time, he slowly faded under stiff competition from more youthful groups. Very glad to see that he is well and hope to hear from him some new material.

I still have his casstetes in my library and occasionaly take them in my car when driving for a long trip.
Memories are made of this....
