VERCKYS & V É V É : A Critical Discography

With help from Roger Izeidi, young Georges, only 25, established a studio on Avenue Eyala, in Kasa-Vubu, Kinshasa. Vercky's early 70s recordings were collected on some LPs on the Sonodisc label, and his mid-career output as a producer appeared in a great 9-volume series Les Grands Succès des Editions Vévé on the Sonafric label, which featured many of the hits produced in his studio by Vévé and other bands such as Lipua Lipua, Les Kamale, Orchestre Kiam, and Zaiko Langa Langa. In 1972 he recruited Pepe Kalle and Nyboma, two youngsters from Bella Bella, to sing "Sola," "Mbuta" and "Kamale." He started orchestres Baya Baya, Lipua Lipua and Kiam, named for himself. Their first hits were "Yoyowe" and "Masumi." He rented equipment to Nyboma and Lipua Lipua who recorded "Amba," "Mombasa" and "Niki bue," but as soon as they were established they quit Verckys' label and regrouped as Orchestre Les Kamale. On his visit to Kinshasa James Brown dubbed him "Mister Dynamite"! He founded Editions Vévé in 1974. In 1976 he changed the name of his label to ZADIS (for "Zaire disc"). That year he issued "Papy Baluti" & "Muana Mburu" written by Francis Bitsoumani a.k.a. Celi Bitsou. The line-up at this time was Tino Muinkwa, Djo Roy, Nejos Tusevo, Pepitho Fukiau on vocals, Lambion on solo guitar, Aladji Baba on rhythm guitar, Ndolo & Celi Bitsou on bass, Bayard on drums, Ponta Vickys on congas, himself, Dibuidi and Sax Matalanza on saxes and Makamba on trombone. But after the success of "Muana Mburu," Celi Bitsou quit to go solo.

Verckys retired from performing to concentrate on his nightclub, his shop ZADIS on Place Victoire, his label, and promotion. His Vévé Center became the hot spot for Grand Zaiko Wa Wa, Langa Langa Stars, Victoria Eleison, Mbonda Africa, Afro International, Wenge Musica and other groups. In 1978 he recorded young sensation Koffi Olomide. In 1980 Verckys came out of retirement to release some new albums on the Vévé International label in Paris with his backing band also renamed Vévé International. Vocalist Diatho Lukoki was supported by Sonama, Michel Sax, along with Djo Mpoyi and Dizzy Mandjeku, formerly of OK Jazz (who quit to return to Franco). Luciana quit Viva la Musica to replace Djo Mpoy for three months. Later members included Elba Kuluma, Serge Lemvo, Asi Kapela, Rochesi and Lawi. Verckys was elected president of the Congolese Musicians Union in 1988. In 2008 Verckys was in hospital in Brussels for leg operations soon after completing a new album COUP DE MARTEAU.

Part One: LPs

	Verckys et son ensemble TOUTE L'AFRIQUE DANSE VOL 11 (Ngoma J33011) 1971 compositeur: Verckys A1: Mfumbwa 1 2: Ekule ferros 3: Bolingo ya Bomuana 4: Yeba Olaki Ngai 5: Marie Suza B1: Mfumbwa 2 2: Marie Sango 3: Loboko 4: Tobina Bonne Annee 70 5: Tentation The smash hit "Mfumbwa" kicks off both sides of the LP (so you can flip it over for the genuine A-side, B-side pause and effect). Track 3, "Bolingo ya Bomuana," and "Marie Sango" were selected for Sono CD36599. "Loboko," a kiri-kiri by Djeskain was added to Dynamite Verckys (Sono LP360 016), but none of the other tracks was later anthologized.
	Verckys et l'orchestre Vévé DYNAMITE VERCKYS (Sonodisc 360 016 P1970) [Vévé 1] compositeur: Verckys vocals by Trio Majesi: Loko Massengo, Saak Saakul, Matadidi (uncredited) A1: Ah mokili [Kiri-Kiri] 5:07 2: Yela olakaki ngai [Kiri-Kiri] 5:09 3: Annitcho [Rumba] 4:58 4: Mfumbwa 1 [Lingala rythme Mombetta] 5'40 5: Mfumbwa 2 [Lingala rythme Mombetta] 4:15 B1: Loboko [Rumba] 5:51 2: Nakokoka ata botongi [Kiri-Kiri] 4:43 3: Est-ce que nakobala [Rumba lingala] 4:44 4: Naboyi nkasa [Kiri-Kiri] 4:44 5: Linga ngai azua te 4:27 The opening track, "Ah mokili," could pass for OK Jazz, despite the Kiri Kiri rhythm. There's even a two-part harmony sax lead of the kind Verckys used to play with Isaac Musekiwa. "Yea olakaki ngai" is more in the African Fiesta style (Bovick Bondo "Shamar" had sung & played bass with African Fiesta from 1967-8), with a jagged guitar lead. The Mombetta rhythm used in "Mfumbwa" chugs along and here the saxes set up the counterpoint to the mi-solo guitar. It's a blisteringly great cut. The "B" side starts out auspiciously with a great riff that sounds like a breakdown and some honking, as if they jumped into the song at the bridge. This band excels at that transitional moment where everyone riffs and no one knows where the song is going. Usually Verckys takes the opportunity to throw down some stellar sax. The outro of "Est-ce que nakobala" captures this spontaneous excitement perfectly. (This jam, "Nakokoa ata botongi" and "Mfumbwa" were selected for Sono CD36599.) "Naboyi nkasa" is another Kiri Kiri. We return to rumba congolaise for the final track.
	Orchestre Vévé "Baluti" (Sonodisc 360 106 1977) 1. Baluti 1 & 2 (Nguendi Aladji) 1976 2. Muana Mburu 1 & 2 (Bitshoumanou Boniface) 1977 3. Nakoma Juste 1 & 2 (Mwinkua) 1977 4. Mikolo Mileki Mingi 1 & 2 (Fukiau) 1976 5. Bilobela 1 & 2 (Kiamwangana Mateta) 1977 6. Fifi (Verckys) 1973 Just as dynamite as the preceding selection. "Mikolo Mileki Mingi" & "Bilobela" are both outstanding. "Fifi" was also a hit in West Africa (it appeared on a Stars from Zaire compilation). "Mikolo Mileki Mingi," "Baluti," "Bilobela" & "Nakoma juste" are all on CD 8478. The first three are collected on RETRO 15CD. Bitshoumanou is better known as Celi Bitsshou.

"Nakomitunaka," recorded in 1972 and featuring the young Pepe Kalle on vocals along with José Bébé, is on CD36599. Last two Maquisards' cuts on Ngoyarto CD NG078.

It would be great to know the personnel on these albums, even a picture of a dancing couple would have helped indicate that it is smoking hot, but then this is Sonodisc, so what do you expect? A lame abstract cover with only song titles and the further information that it is in Mono! A seething cauldron of mid-70s Verckys productions: Kiam, Kamale, Lipua Lipua and Vévé, along with the obscure Orchestre Kamavasty. Lovely Nyboma vocals (on Echoplex) soaring over it all. Great sax solos; pounding bass, guitar and drums reminiscent of the East African sound on a few tracks. "Mikolo Mileki Mingi" made it to CD8478 & RETRO 15CD. "Assana Muana Mawa" from Grands Succès vol 9, appeared with the rest of the B-side on CD36567.
	Verckys et l'Orchestre Vévé "Isabo" (Sonafric SAF 50008 1975) 1. Isabo (Kelly) 2. Bea (Verckys) 3. Nadefa Nani (Jim) 4. Mama Djele (Verckys) 5. Bakoma Pema (Verckys) B1. Sakumana 1 (Verckys) 2. Sakumana 2 (Verckys) 3. Nakoliba Te Tolingani (Verckys) 4. Balobaka Ye Mbongo Mingi (Matadidi Mario) 5. Moise Ou Anne (Matadidi Mario) These early efforts sounds like OK Jazz vocals and African Fiesta guitars. But "Mama Djele" (which was collected on RETRO 15CD) really stands out.

Mabuse (Verckys) The lovelorn ballad by Bovic is weird: warbly vocals over acoustic guitar as the singer starts to break down, all a bit overdone. "Reste Avec Moi," "Vincent," & "Mobutu dix ans" also appear on l'Afrique Danse no 11. "Marcello Tozongana" was anthologized on DYNAMITE VERCKYS CD & the Rough Guide CD CONGO GOLD (RGNET1200) in February 2008.
	Les Grands Succes des Editions Vévé vol 1 Direction: Verckys (Sonafric SAF 50039) 1977 A1: Orch Kamale: Ngaseme-ngaseme (Mulembu) 9'40 2: Orch Lipua-Lipua: Yo na beya (Nkuka) [pasola] 10'20 SIDE TWO: Orchestre Engunduka B1: Engunduka (Matalanza) [pasola] 9'45 (actually 10'13) 2: Tshekande (Mateso Mampasi) [pasola] 5'30 (actually 9'49) 3: Yebisa Tina (Malonga Moussa) [pasola] 5'30 (actually 4'24) Note: The Orch Kamale track is described as "folk soum en Lingala," sung by Danos Canta [i.e Nyboma]. They name check Matalanza who may appear on this track. Matalanza was the leader of Orchestre Engunduka. These are the only three tracks I have heard by this group but they are solid jamming and a great lead-off to the series. There's great sax on here, I suspect it is Matalanza: Verckys would respond to another group led by a wild saxophonist. The tracks are mostly described as "pasola" which is a euphemism for straight-ahead rocking Congolese rumba with big horn arrangements. Adoyo on AfricAmbiance forum writes they were probably "nzonzing," i.e. a studio jam band, & he says they featured Les Trois M: Sax Matalanza, Tino Muinkwa & Djo Roy Matuti.

Great sax, speedy drumming, wonderful harmony singing. Lipua Lipua namecheck the band on "Bongisa maloba." Odd as it may seem the mi-solo by Vata Mombassa is also really stunning. "Bassala hot" is a Nigerian-style funk track in English.

They re-recorded "Kin kiesse" in Japan on one of their world tours; it is typical of their high-energy approach (It is also the name of one of the second Lipua Lipua's vocalists). "Makoko" was collected on the CD "Mbeya mbeya." "Toli ya kulu mpe" which was anthologized several times, was on CD36547 credited to Yoka Lokole (M'Fui Muane was also in Orchestre Kiam).

	Orchestre Lipua-Lipua Nyboma Mwan'dido was born December 24, 1952 in Niokoi, a river village in Maindombe, Zaire. At the age of 16 he began singing with Negro Succès, but the death of Bavon Marie Marie effectively ended that band. In 1972 Nyboma recorded "Mbuta" with Bella Bella and it became Song of the Year. In 1973 Vangu Soki quit the group and Nyboma formed Lipwa Lipwa. Their first release was "Kamale" which became Song of the Year in 1973. This was followed with hits like "Mombassa" & "Nkotela." The original splinter group from Bella Bella included Pepe Kalle, Ricos Kinzunga (solo guitar), Mulembu, Mbubi Malanda and Nyboma. Pierre Bissikita was their rhythm guitarist; after a year he was replaced by Vata Mombassa who had played with Vox Africa and Afrizam. In 1975 key members left to form Les Kamale while Lipua Lipua regrouped under rhythm guitarist "Professor" Vata Mombassa. Vata Mombassa continued with a solo career, releasing EN COLERE in 1984 (AR0988). He also collaborated with Dizzy Mandjeku. In 2008 Vata Mombassa was reported as still active in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, while Nyboma was thriving with Kekele and other projects.

Here are the liner notes: THE VERY BEST OF L'ORCHESTRE LIPUA LIPUA (FEATURES "MFUENI'' THE HIT) The Incredible L'Orchestre Lipua Lipua band celebrated its fifth anniversary last June since when they broke away from Orch. Bella Bella of Soki Vangu to form Orch. Lipua Lipua. During its early stages orchestre Lipua Lipua was composed of members like Nyboma Muandido, Mulembu Tshibau, Kinzunga (Ricos) and many others and were recording under Vévé editions. It was after a year or so when some of the members decided to form Les Kamale under Nyboma as the leader and Kinzunga as the lead guitarist with Mulembu on the vocals and so Les Kamale was formed. After that Orchestre Lipua Lipua was reformed now stronger and Vata Mombassa was the new chief. Professor as nick-named by his colleagues for his skill in the rhythm guitar took over the band in 1974, and through his wise and dynamic leadership orchestre Lipua Lipua is proud of being one of the best groups in Africa. Apart from being the band leader Prof. Vata Mombassa is very much at home with the rhythm guitar and this is the source of the name Professor. Orchestre Lipua Lipua has the best harmonized team of Vocalists led by Kiloto Toko (High pitched voice). Mbubi Malanda one of the founders of the band, Tedia, Nzaya Nzayadio (So-Kizengi) and the newly enrolled vocalist/Composer Kien' Kiesse, all those vocalists are known for their strong compositions. A step back to Prof. Vata Mombassa who is said to be the busiest man in this band, as a leader he has a tough task, but all the same he has proved a most able leader. Professor Vata Mombassa's fame did not come through the guitar or his leadership only, but also from his hit after a hit compositions his last one is a good example which is already a world hit the single is entitled "MFUENI" This one he composed on return from a successful tour of west African States. This tour was a great success of Orchestre Lipua Lipua, and their records are said to be selling like hot cakes in West Africa. This long play is a compilation of their greatest Hits including a new track which is quite heavy composed by Maluku entitled ''NAMONA YO WAPI" Simply meaning where do I find you? With such a track you assured that orchestre Lipua Lipua is there to stay. JUSTUS M. KASOYA

The name was a friend of Nyboma's attempt to pronounce the french word "camarade" and he took it as the title of a song which was his first hit with Lipua Lipua. In 1977 Kamale represented Zaire at FESTAC in Lagos.

A1: Amour propre (Pepe Kalle) 2: Madi Madimba (Papy Tex) B1: Mpitisha bonne année (Pepe Kalle) 2: Botika ngai (Papy Tex) Two of the early albums produced by Verckys of this magnificent group which balances the wonderful vocals of Kabaselle Yampagna a.k.a. Pepe Kalle and Matolu Dode a.k.a. Papy Tex and Dilu Mona, with fierce guitars from Doris & Boeing 707. Despite their crazy on-stage antics (featuring their dancing dwarf Emauro), I saw them as one of the great traditional Congolese bands. Also they were unique in staying together for a quarter century (like the Kinks in London). Their line-up included Elvis Kunku on rhythm guitar, M.P. Cherie on bass, Samy Maracas on drums, Bileku Mpasi as "animator," and of course "Emoro" as the "added attraction." All tracks collected on the following CD.

Tracks A1 & 2 are reversed because A2 has the chorus "Dribling ya somo" and a blistering guitar and sax outro, complete with big horn chorus, a trombone solo, and exhortations from the singers.

Monsieur Raison (Kiambukuta) Note: Is "Monimambu" about the spirit, or Jimmy Monimambo the Congolese singer who moved to East Africa in the 70s? Thierry Mantuika Kobi joined Vévé after leaving OK Jazz in 1987 but rejoined Franco in 1988. A pretty laid-back album in the Paris style (fortunately pre-drum machine) but the dread crappy synth kicks in during the last number. / / Title checklist of the EVVI Label [thanks to bolingo.org, Papa Mundele & Zim Bida] (EVVI 01) Verckys & le Vévé - vol. 1 (EVVI 02) Orchestre Vévé - vol. 2 Seliba (1980) (EVVI 02D) Verckys et l'immortel Vévé, Vol 2 (EVVI 03) Zaiko Langa Langa - Crois-moi (1980) (EVVI 07D) Les derniers succes de Lipua-Lipua vol 1 (EVVI 08D) Les derniers succes de Lipua-Lipua vol 2 (EVVI 09) Djuna Djanana - MrPlus Normal Normal: Ami Boda-Boda/Famy Kashala/Elegant Kito/Princesse Bokomo/Dezy Senga/ Bolla (1989) (EVVI 10D) Le Grand Maitre Waku Manuaku & Grand Zaiko Wa Wa (1980) (EVVI 11D; also released as LS 65) Verckys et l'Orchestre Vévé (EVVI 12) le seigneur Rochereau - Mazé (1982) (EVVI 13D) Tabu Ley Rochereau & Mbilia Bel - Mpeve ya longo - Mpeve ya Longo/Kashama/Jalousie Mal Placee/On a Raconte (1984) (EVVI 15) Verckys présente Empire Bakuba (1981) (EVVI 16) Langa Langa Stars - Requiem (1983) (EVVI 17) Langa Langa Stars - Avenir Mbeya (1983) (EVVI 18) les 7 patrons de Langa Langa Stars - Tete Africain/Peche Mortel/Bakutu bis/La Mignone (EVVI 19) Empire Bakuba - Amour propre (1982) (EVVI 20) Victoria Eleison - Okosi ngai mfumu (1984) (EVVI 21) Maanuaku Waku & Grand Zaiko Wa Wa - Eke ya pamba (EVVI 22) Langa Langa Stars - Likombe (1985) (EVVI 23) Afro International - Sango Mabala Commission (1984) (EVVI 24) Langa Langa Stars & Choc Stars - Moyeko (1985) (EVVI 25) Vonga Aye - Pare-Chocs (EVVI 37) Tiers Monde Cooperation - Kajinga/Cherie Muikuayi/Vieux ya quartier/Solo na ngai (EVVI 38) Michel Boyibanda - Ebuka System's (EVVI 39; REM 370) Victoria & Emeneya - Mabala Commission (P.1984) (EVVI 40; REM 480) Langa Langa Stars - K.O.
