From 1956 until 1993, Congolese outfit L'Orchestre OK Jazz and their effervescent bandleader Franco were arguably the most successful act on the country's often overlooked (but hugely popular) rumba scene. This superb double-album compilation brings together the best of their work, with a side each devoted to early 1970s independent recordings (A); tracks recorded and produced in Brussels for a South African label (B); near legendary covers of Cuban rumba classics (C) and songs based on Congolese folklore written in a number of local languages (D). It's a brilliant collection of cuts from a band that deserves wider recognition.
