 Revolutionary And Evolutionary Sounds From The Two Congos 1955-62.

 'Congo Revolution' looks at the explosion of music that came out of the Congo in the
 years leading up to independence in 1960. Congolese rumba, a wild combination of
 African, Jazz and Latin influences, created future stars of its now legendary
 creators ' Franco, Grand Kalle, Tabu Ley, Dr. Nico, Papa Wemba - and all feature here
 in their ground-breaking early groups such as O.K.Jazz, Brazzos, Rock-A-Mambo,
 African Jazz and The Beguen Band.

 "The Congo is in fact two countries : The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC,
 formerly Zaire) and the Republic of the Congo. Congo Revolution was first released as
 a sampler 7ö box set for RSD, and this expanded release includes a 50-page
 booklet/double gatefold and inner sleeves containing extensive text explaining the
 evolution of the music and history of the two Congos, and how music, politics and
 popular culture intersected at the point of independence from the two CongosÆ
 European colonisers - Belgium and France - through songs such as 'Vive Patrice
 Lumumba,' and 'MNC Uhuru,' which celebrated the Congolese independence leader prior
 to his political assassination.

 Also included is the stunning images of the Congolese photographer Jean Depara who
 documented the Congo's vibrant nightlife in the period 1955-65 as well as being the
 official photographer for the superstar Congolese artist Franco up until his death in
 1989. Depara also documents the rise of the Bills (Congolese teenagers who dressed as
 cowboys) and sharp-suited evolues (which later gave rise to the fashion-conscious
 phenomenon of the Congolese æSapeursÆ). These images are reproduced in collaboration
 with Revue Noire in France."
