As a tribute to DECHAUD, the elder brother of Dr. Nico, here is "Afrika Mokili Mobimba" which in fact should be named "AFRICAN JAZZ MOKILI MOBIMBA" as I'm reading in the excellent magazine "THE BEAT". Dechaud passed away as a poor man in September 1999, despite being the composer of this song, that became very popular all over Africa, the copyrights being snatched away by others, as so often happens in the hard world of African music.

On this LP "AFRICA DANCES" the performers are given as: KALE-ROGER and ROCHEREAU with the OK JAZZ ORCHESTRA, but that seems very unlikely to me. I think it should be the AFRICAN JAZZ Orchestre, as OK Jazz being the rival orchestre of these singers.
From LP: AFRICA DANCES , AUTHENTIC 601
