Rock-a-Mambo

This version, which lasted until the 1970s, was a launching pad for young musicians including Bopol, Wuta Mayi, Camille "Checain" Lola, and Henriette Borauzima.

[1] The band name is a pun with the Kongolese word rocamambu "the one who looks for problems".

In a Kongolese folk tale, Rocamambu is a kind of prodigal son, who runs from home and comes back rich.

[3] A large number of singles were recorded by the Esengo studio.
