Multitudes exuberantes, todav\u00eda mareadas por la independencia una d\u00e9cada antes, bailaban al ritmo de los cl\u00e1sicos del pa\u00eds. De hecho, todo el continente qued\u00f3 sumergido en la moda de la rumba congole\u00f1a. Animadas por las fant\u00e1sticas producciones del sello Ngoma, las vibrantes ondas de radio difundieron el sonido del Congo procedente de Leopoldville por todo el continente, convirti\u00e9ndose en el producto de exportaci\u00f3n n\u00famero uno del pa\u00eds. El \u00e9xito inesperado aliment\u00f3 una incre\u00edble riqueza de m\u00fasicos talentosos. Uno de ellos fue Verckys, quien a los 18 a\u00f1os se convirti\u00f3 en miembro de la banda m\u00e1s dominante e influyente del pa\u00eds; Franco&#8217;s OK Jazz.<br \/>Sin embargo, esta \u00abrelaci\u00f3n\u00bb dur\u00f3 poco ya que Verckys, tambi\u00e9n conocido como Georges Mateta Kiamuangana, ahora un multiinstrumentista vers\u00e1til y potente, ten\u00eda sus propios planes: la formaci\u00f3n de la Orquesta V\u00e9v\u00e9 en 1968, con la objetivo de reinventar y modernizar el sonido congole\u00f1o. Combinando la siempre influyente destreza de James Brown con el merengue, la rumba y el soukous congole\u00f1os, Verckys elimin\u00f3 el enfoque convencional del que Franco&#8217;s OK Jazz hab\u00eda sido pionero, permitiendo que dominara el saxof\u00f3n en las melod\u00edas enlazadas.<br \/>Hacia 1970 comenz\u00f3 una nueva \u00e1rea importante con la fundaci\u00f3n del sello \u00ables Editions V\u00e9v\u00e9\u00bb en el que Verckys publicar\u00eda sus propias producciones. Se construy\u00f3 un estudio y Verckys comenz\u00f3 a grabar a j\u00f3venes artistas urbanos, con sonidos de cavacha impulsados \u00bf\u00bfpor guitarras; Les Freres Soki, Bella Bella, Orchestre Kiam y muchos m\u00e1s saltaron al estrellato de la noche a la ma\u00f1ana, convirtiendo a Verckys en un hombre muy rico.<br \/>Pero eso no fue suficiente para un hombre ambicioso con una visi\u00f3n. Construy\u00f3 un enorme complejo de entretenimiento llamado V\u00e9v\u00e9 Centre y envi\u00f3 un equipo para aprender las complejidades de la impresi\u00f3n de discos para establecer la primera planta de prensado del pa\u00eds. A esto le sigui\u00f3 la construcci\u00f3n del estudio de grabaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s moderno del Congo en Kinshasa, en el que grab\u00f3 al legendario Tabu Lay Rochereau.<br \/>La popularidad de la Orquesta V\u00e9v\u00e9 traspas\u00f3 fronteras y en 1974 la banda viaj\u00f3 a Kenia para una gira de dos meses. \u00abBassala Hot\u00bb, \u00abCheka Sana\u00bb y \u00abTalali Talala\u00bb fueron algunos de los temas grabados en Nairobi para el mercado de Kenia, canciones que ahora est\u00e1n disponibles para los o\u00eddos del mundo por primera vez.<br \/>Analog Africa tiene ahora el privilegio de presentar 11 temas (+ 3 temas extra solo para bandcamp!!) de Verckys et l&#8217;Orchestre V\u00e9v\u00e9 en el apogeo de sus capacidades m\u00e1s funky. Compilado a lo largo de muchos a\u00f1os en una tierra de dificultades, le damos la bienvenida a la era m\u00e1s maravillosa del Congo con un lanzamiento en doble LP acompa\u00f1ado de notas detalladas y fotograf\u00edas antiguas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los turbulentos y estimulantes a\u00f1os 70 del Congo: los clubes nocturnos y las pistas de baile estaban repletos en la capital, Kinshasa.

Exuberant crowds, still giddy from independence a decade prior, grooved to the sounds of the country`s classics. In fact the whole continent was submerged into the Congolese Rumba craze. Encouraged by the fantastic productions of the Ngoma label, vibrant radio waves had been spreading the Congo sound from Leopoldville all over the continent, becoming the countries' No.1 export. The unexpected success nurtured an incredible wealth of talented musicians. One of them was Verckys, who, at age 18, became a member of the country's most dominant and influential band; Franco's OK Jazz.This \"relationship\" however was short-lived as Verckys, aka Georges Mateta Kiamuangana, now a versatile and potent multi instrumentalist, had plans of his own - the formation of Orchestre V\u00e9v\u00e9 in 1968, with the aim of reinventing and modernising the Congolese sound. Blending the ever influential prowess of James Brown with Congolese Merengue, Rumba and Soukous, Verckys stripped away the conventional approach that O.K. Jazz had pioneered, allowing his saxophone-laced melodies to dominate.Around 1970 a new important area began with the foundation of the label \"les Editions V\u00e9v\u00e9\" on which Verckys would release his own productions. A studio was built and Verckys started recording young urban artists, with guitar-driven Cavacha sounds; Les Freres Soki, Bella Bella, Orchestre Kiam and many more shot to stardom overnight, making Verckys a very wealthy man.But that wasn't enough for an ambitious man with a vision. He built a sprawling entertainment complex called V\u00e9v\u00e9 Centre, and dispatched a team to learn the intricacies of record pressing to set up the first pressing plant in the country. This was followed by the construction of the Congo's most modern recording studio in Kinshasa, in which he recorded the legendary Tabu Lay Rochereau.Orchestre V\u00e9v\u00e9's popularity poured across borders and in 1974 the band travelled to Kenya for a 2 month tour. \"Bassala Hot\", \"Cheka Sana\" and \"Talali Talala\" were some of the tracks recorded in Nairobi for the Kenyan market, songs which are now available to the ears of the world for the very first time.Analog Africa has now the privilege to present 11 tracks (+ 3 bonus tracks only for bandcamp!!) by Verckys et l'Orchestre V\u00e9v\u00e9 at the height of their most funky capabilities.
