Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music presents:
This Sunday on the Ambiance Congo radio show, I will be featuring the voice and compositions of Laurent Nyboma Mwan Dido.
From African All Stars to Four Stars to Kekele to Lipua Lipua. Plus his voice with that of his dear friend Pepe Kalle and more.
Born in December 0f 1952, Nyboma started his musical career at age 19 with Orchestre Baby National and then a brief time in Orchestre Negro Succes, but his fame grew in the early 1970s when he joined orchestres Bella Bella, then Lipwa Lipwa , Kamale, African All Stars and more.
He’s probably best known in USA for his work with Les Quatre Etoiles or 4 Stars, a super star group that exploded onto the international market in 1983 and kept making records into the 90s.
You’ll hear a great singer bring it to a variety of songs with different rhythms and orchestration. You’ll also hear him sing with some of the masters of Congolese guitar. Something for everyone from an unassuming master vocalist and a treasure of our time who is still making and recording music today.
