06/30/1960 Congo’s independence…

Here’s, probably, the mother of all independence songs, by Joseph Kabasele Tshamala aka Grand Kalle.

Story behind the track

Brazzos & Petit Pierre were 2 members of the African Jazz band (with Kabasele, Nico, Roger, Vicky Lokomba and Dechaux Mwamba, Dr Nico’s brother).

They co-wrote the song “Independance Cha Cha”, back in the 60s for Congo’s independance from Belgium.
Unfortunately, they were never credited…
