Mokili/ Orch.Maquis "Telemuka Chekecha"

THE MAQUIS story goes back more than twenty years to the town of Kamina in DRCongo's Katanga Province, It was in 1963 that the group Orchestre Super Gabby came together and began performing in a local bar. Nearly ten years later, that same band, having changed their name to Orchestra Maquis du Zaire made their first appearnace in Dar-es Salaam in 1972. It was love at first sight (or sound) as the band received a warm reception from Tanzanian music lovers— so much so, that the band stayed on in Dar making it their home.

Today, the thirty-eight member MAQUIS remain one of the dominant groups on the Tanzanian music scene. With the recent success of their smash single KARUBANDIKA, MAQUIS are rapidly extending their popularity throughout Eastern and Central Afrrica. This LP is a selection of some of the most recent Maquis recordings. Get down and enjoy the Zembwela Beat!
