BioOrchestre Baba National was a Congolese group with Swahili roots based in Nairobi, Kenya, and led by Baba Gaston. They were known for blending Congolese rumba with elements of highlife, local music, and jazz. The group disbanded in 1976, with members like Lutulu Kaniki Macky and Nana Akumu later seeking opportunities in Tanzania. Some musicians regrouped in the band L'Orchestre de Mangelepa in the 1980s. In 2018, Baba Gaston performed in France as part of the Rio Loco festival.
