Zaiko Langa Langa
Encyclopedia
Zaiko Langa Langa are a seminal soukous
band from DR Congo
. The word "Zaiko" is a portmanteau for the lingala
phrase Zaire ya bankoko, meaning "Zaire of our ancestors", where "Zaire" must be read as a reference to the river by that name, now called Congo
. The meaning of the phrase "Langa Langa" is controversial; according to the band's website
, it means "marvelous" or "almighty".
Founded in the early 1970s
by Papa Wemba
and others, Zaiko Langa Langa survived into the 2000s, and have been largely popular through the decades. Because of their "rebel" and "hippie
" attitude, and their innovative approach to soukous, they became a symbol of the new generations of post-independence Zaire
, and are sometimes compared to the Rolling Stones for their appeal on the Congolese youth.
The band has experienced several personnel changes, and a number of prominent soukous musicians have been in their lineup; examples are Bozi Boziana
, Dindo Yogo
, Evoloko Jocker
and N'Yoka Longo
. Several soukous band formed as spin-off
s of Zaiko Langa Langa; these include Isifi Lokole
, Yoka Lokole
, Viva La Musica
, Langa Langa Stars
, Zaiko Familia Dei, Choc Stars
, Anti Choc, and Zaiko Nkolo Mboka. This large group of related bands is sometimes referred to as "Clan Langa Langa" (i.e., "the Langa Langa family").
In 2000, Zaiko Langa Langa were awarded by the Congolese Media Association as the best Congolese musical group of the 20th century.
, Henri Mongombe, D. V. Moanda, Dela Marcelin, André Bita, Manuaku Waku (also known as Pépé Fely) and N'Yoka Longo
. Moanda, Mongombe, Marcelin, Waku, Longo and Bita were all from a former band called Bel Guide National. They were mostly students coming from upper-class families of Kinshasa
.
The sound of Zaiko Langa Langa was revolutionary with respect to the soukous tradition. They adopted a more up tempo beat, abandoned wind instruments and emphasized snare drum
s and lead electric guitar
s (and eventually also synthesizer
s). The percussion rhythms were adapted from traditional Congolese music and the sebene
became more prominent. Their vocal lines made a large use of the call and response
schemes. Their frenetic stage shows featured a frontline of almost a dozen singers.
Because of these innovations, they are sometimes referred to as the founders of the "third school" of soukous, while they "rebel" attitude, which resembled that of the hippie
movement, earned them the sobriquet of "Zaire's Rolling Stones".
Zaiko quickly became one of the most popular groups of Zaire, and had a large fan base among Kinshasa's juvenile. In the 1970s
, Zaiko's singer Evoloko "Lay Lay" Joker
popularized a dance known as cavacha
, that was a decade-lasting craze in most East Africa
.
In 1974, Zaiko Langa Langa were amongst the Zairean bands to be invited to play in Zaire '74, a huge musical event celebrating the Rumble in the Jungle
.
In the mid 1970s
the band lost some of its most important members. Papa Wemba, Bozi Boziana and others left in 1974 to create Isifi Lokole
; that same year, Evoloko Jocker abandoned to complete his studies in Europe
. In 1975, guitarist Manuaka Waku also founded his own group, Grand Zaiko Wa Wa. After a brief period of inactivity, the band returned in 1976, and in the following years maintained a prominent position in the soukous scenes, while competing with its own spin-offs such as Isifi Lokole, Isifi Melodia, Yoka Lokole
, Viva La Musica
, and others. The outcome of the personnel changes in the band was the establishment of N'Yoka Longo as the new leader, and new entries such as Lengi Lenga, Bimi Ombale
, Dindo Yogo
, Meridjo and Bapius. Zaiko Langa Langa's production of the latter 1970s are particularly sophisticated both in terms of melody
and orchestration
, and the coreography of the live performance was also richer than it was in the early years. In 1977, Bozi Boziana rejoined the group, followed by Mashakado Mbuta.
Despite new internal quarrels and personnel changes, Zaiko Langa Langa were successful throughout the 1980s
. At the end of the decade, the band experienced another major split, with Meridjo, N'Yoka Longo and Dindo Yogo creaing a new group Zaiko Langa Langa Nkolo Mboka and the rest of the ensemble, led by Lengi Lenga, Ilo Pablo and Bimi Ombale, being renamed to Zaiko Familia Dei. Later on, N'Yoka Longo's group reacquired the original name "Zaiko Langa Langa", which has maintained until today. N'Yoka Longo is still the leader of the group.
