Samba Mapangala

Samba Mapangala has been played on NTS in shows including The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show w/ Charlie Bones, featured first on 14 March 2017. Songs played include Agatha Maminoue, Yembele and Adija.

Singer Samba Mapangala hails originally from the Congo, but has lived and performed variously in Uganda, Kenya, and the United States. Mapangala formed the Orchestra Virunga in the early 1980s, and their scintillating mix of rhumba, soukous, and leaner African forms has become legendary. Polyrhythms, glittering guitar lines, and Mapangala's gorgeous, soaring voice.
