Bio

Nicolas Kasanda wa Mikalay, alias Docteur Nico, was a renowned Congolese guitarist, composer, and trailblazer in music. Rising from a destined career as a technical teacher, he embraced his family's musical background and became a virtuoso guitarist. Joining Grand Kalle et l'African Jazz at 14, he gained recognition from legendary musician Jimi Hendrix. He co-founded L'Orchestra African Fiesta with Tabu Ley Rochereau after African Jazz disbanded. Docteur Nico's compositional brilliance shone through the success of "Kamulangu." Despite a hiatus after his record label's collapse, his musical legacy lives on. He passed away on September 22, 1985, leaving an enduring inspiration for generations.
