"There was no finer performer perfectly adapted to this manic, dance-at-all-costs, music. Bembo was an extreme and often hilarious showman. His music accompanied the dance craze of the moment, often dreamt up by Bembo himself and some of these dances from the band's 70s - mid-80s heyday revelled in names like Ekonda Saccade, Quatre Coins, Rapo Crapeau and Osaka Dynasty." - WorldMusicCentral.com

The record label says:
Lita Bembo – the great showman of Congo-Zaïrean music – was one of the most inspirational musicians of the 'new generation' that stormed Kinshasa in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band Stukas du Zaïre. His unique blend of impassioned Ekonda vocal styles and frenetic guitar patterns turned his compositions into instant hits, while his eccentric stage antics and innovative dance routines endeared him to young and old alike. The music, like the man, remains larger than life.

 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
