Kanda Bongo Man, born Bongo Kanda in Inongo, Democratic Republic of Congo, is one of the most influential Soukous and Kwassa Kwassa musicians of all time. Starting his career in the early ’70s, Kanda revolutionized Congolese music, transforming Rhumba into a danceable genre with his distinctive guitar riffs and rhythmic changes. His move to Paris in the late ’70s marked the beginning of his rise to global fame, with his 1979 debut solo album, Iyole, and subsequent hits such as Kwassa Kwassa (1989) and Tokei (1993).
