BioTPOK Jazz, also known as Tout Puissant Orchestre Kinshasa, was a renowned Congolese music band that was formed in 1956 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Led by Franco Luambo Makiadi, the band blended traditional Congolese rhythms with elements of jazz, rumba, and soukous and was considered one of the most influential bands in African music history. Their music addressed political and social issues, incorporated modern technology, and was active until the early 1990s following their leader's death.
