Straight from Kinshasa, Zaiko Langa Langa, one of the oldest congolese band is in Abidjan! 

Zaiko Langa Langa  was formed in 1970 as Orchestra Zaiko.  It has been one of the hottest and most popular bands in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) since its formation in the early seventies (when Congo was still called Zaire), through the eighties and the nineties and into the new millennium. 

The band Original members included Papa Wemba, Evolocko Lay Lay, Zamungana and Nyoka Longo. The group revolutionized Congolese music, adopting a more up tempo beat, abandoning wind instruments and emphasizing the snare drum and the solo guitar. They made great use of the call and response system and introduced chants of animation, a system that is now used extensively by most Congolese groups. Their stage shows were more frenetic and featured a frontline of almost a dozen singers.(Wikipedia).
