One of the most popular Congolese bands to make a name for themselves in Kenya, Les Mangelepa recorded most of their biggest hits for ASL. It comes as no surprise, though, to find that they also has their own imprint under the production of Oluoch Kanindo.

To learn more about the band, read the liner notes to the RetroAfric CD, Endurance, here. Better still, go out and buy the CD for yourself.

EPA 7-4 is a record from my own collection; the other three in this listing are in the University of Mainz’s African Music Archive.
