Verckys et l´Orchestre Vévé – Congolese Funk, Afrobeat & Psychedelic Rumba 1969-1978 (Analog Africa Nr. 17) https://musicyouneedtohear.com/verckys-et-lorchestre-veve-congolese-funk-afrobeat-psychedelic-rumba-1969-1978-analog-africa-nr-17/ On October 13th,the African music world world lost an absolute demigod in the form of Verckys Kiamuangana Mateta. How important was he? Well, going by Wikipedia, he, “was a Congolese saxophonist, composer, bandleader, producer, record label founder, and music-business executive. He was renowned as a talented and prolific musician, and was the first indigenous African to own a record label, through which he introduced many major Congolese artists to the world.” Analog Africa introduced this giant to the greater music world in 2014, and he was the first Congolese artist I was introduced to before TPOK Jazz (which featured Franco Luambo). We owe a lot to a verckys for his launching the careers of so many artists from the Democratic Republic of Congo to a wider audience. Rest in peace. #analogafrica (at Vienna Airport Gate F 26) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjvYTvCt7DN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
