Synopsis
Product Description
The co-writer, guitarist and harmony singer on the first Congolese hit record, Wendo's 'Marie Louise', in 1948, Henri Bowané was one of the first stars of modern Congolese music. As a composer, arranger, talent agent and record producer in the '50s, '60s and '70s he was crucial to the success of such great bands as Franco's OK Jazz, Kallé Kabasele's African Jazz, Rock-a-Mambo, Ry-Co Jazz and Sam Mangwana's African All-Stars. In 1976 he produced an important album by Zaiko Langa Langa at the renowned Essiebons Studio in Accra, Ghana, and between sessions he recorded some of his own songs with Ghanaian musicians and members of Zaiko Langa Langa. However, those recordings remained unreleased until two years after Bowané's death in 1992, when RetroAfric discovered and issued them as Double Take - Tala Kaka.
