RTNC was created in 1966 and was the first television-channel in Congo, but they don't possess any archive from the 1960s. Most images from 1960s comes from Belgian and American archives. Images of bands like African Fiesta, Negro Succes, Vox Africa, Ok Jazz, Thu Zahina and African Jazz are extremly rare

If you happen to find any in the future, please don't forget to post here. I would like to see them. Even if no sound is included.
