Established in 1966 in Kinshasa, Orchestre Les Noirs, a Congolese band, released albums in East Africa in the early 1970s. Comprising members like Hassan Omari and Chuza Kabaselle, the enduring group pioneered tours in Kenya before returning to Zaire. Their discography includes the album "Les Noirs" and hits like "Sikiya Sauce 1 & 2," "Bokambro I & II," "Emilie/Marie-Jeanne," "Mayaka," and "Banda Beach Sheria Yake Castro." Speculations arise about dual branches—one in Congo, another touring—and a potential merger with East African band City Five, led by Chuza Kabaselle.
