Orchestre Sosoliso again

I think Orchestre Sosoliso was the backing band for Trio Madjesi. musiques-afrique.com writes more about Trio Madjesi: The individual members of the trio had earned their fame in other bands. Marcel Loko Massengo's career began in Jamel National, and continued through Négro Succès, Vox Africa and Orchestre Vévé. The other two members, Mario Mabele and Saak Sakoul (also written as Saak Saakul) equally left Orchestre Vévé to form Trio Madjesi. After the first years of success throughout Africa, their fame faded. There were some attempts to continue the saga, but without great success.

Orchestre Sosoliso

I think Orchestre Sosoliso was the backing band for Trio Madjesi. musiques-afrique.com writes about Trio Madjesi: Trio Madjesi was for a few years the hottest act in Zaire of the early 1970s. Madjesi, a composition of Mario Matadidi Mabele, Loko Massengo "Djeskain" and Saak "Sinatra" Sakoul, the three prominent members of the band, made a joyful mix of Zairean music and soul music in the style of the then so popular James Brown. Their costumes and appearance were James Brown-inspired and their lyrics and overall approach full of humour. Their song "Sex Madjesi", on the album "Trio Madjesi volume 1" renamed in "Sosoliso na Sosoliso", is an excellent example of their style, with that rolling rhythm lead by the guitars, with James Brown inspired licks.

Orchestre T.P.Ok-Jazz

Orchestre T.P.Ok-Jazz existed from 1956 until 1993. During their existence the band had some 80 members including Sam Mangwana, Franco Luambo and Tabu Ley Rochereau. This was one of the biggest band from Zaire/Kongo, so no need to say more.
