	Soukous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania it is called lingala which refers to the Lingala language of the region from which the music originated.
		Soukous is also sometimes called kwassa kwassa, which is a rhythmic dance that was popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, as well as ndombolo, a variant of kwassa kwassa that is currently popular.
		Just like Kwassa Kwassa, the rhythmic dance craze that accompanied the music of Kanda Bongo Man, Loketo and Diblo Dibala in the 1980s and early 1990s, the fast paced soukous music now dominating dance floors in central and eastern Africa is called soukous ndombolo, performed by Awilo Longomba, Aurlus Mabele, Koffi Olomide and others.

	Kwassa Kwassa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Kwassa Kwassa collects the hardest-driving soukous material the Bongo Man performed during the 1980s at the height of the European-African soukous dance craze.
		While other albums, most notably Amour Fou/Crazy Love and Zing Zong, offer equally strong material, Kwassa Kwassa is unmatched in energetic power.
		There were no still bodies when Kanda Bongo Man led the rave and this album shows why.

	Soukous Guitar Tribe! - Electric Guitar Forum - tribe.net
		Kwassa Kwassa and soukous are more than related: They are exactly the same thing.
		Soukous bands always have dancers (as named, integral members of the band!!) and the dance those dancers dance is often referred to as kwassa kwassa --- which makes soukous music kwassa kwassa music.
		Sean Barlow's Afropop Glossary defines Kwassa Kwassa as: "Dance popular in Zaire in late 80s.

		Well, he's the undisputed king of Kwassa Kwassa, the high-energy suggestive dance that has swept Africa.
		TILSLEY: Arguably, Kanda Bongo Man is credited with influencing through his Kwassa Kwassa dancing and music most of West Africa's great high-energy musicians.
		So, if you want tickets for this man's next performance, fight is perhaps what you'll have to do, or maybe just Kwassa Kwassa.

		Gone is the chaotic rhythm and overpowering guitar that have dominated Zairean music for almost two decades.
		Gone is the atalaku (professional shouter) who yells "Kwassa Kwassa" or some such phrases.
		Instead, Yalowa is a sweetly sacrilegious cross-breeding of African and western pop rhythms; there are subtle hints of soukous but the music refuses to be overtaken by it.

		Nice dance music that makes your hips wanna shake...and if you know what you are doing, why not let them?
		"Kwassa Kwassa" refers to a dance that was very popular in Zaire (Congo) in the late 1980's and was much popularized by this record.
		The words "Kwassa Kwassa" might have come from the French "Quoi ça?" (What's that?) and the album cover lends support to this idea (see the lower right corner).

	BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - Kanda Bongo Man
		As the decade closed Kanda Bongo Man immersed himself in dance trends such as the Kwassa Kwassa (also the title of his first US-distributed album) and Mayebo, though his style was still located primarily in the high-speed soukous tradition that he had pioneered.
		He continued to release records on a regular basis throughout the 90s, including the wonderful live album Soukous In Central Park.
		Kanda Bongo Man relocated to South Africa to record 2001's Balobi, on which he essayed a dynamic mix of kwassa kwassa and mbqanga.

	Frank Bessem's Musiques d'Afrique: RDC (ex-Zaire) \| Music of D.R. Congo
		The popular music of Congo has had a tremendous influence on African music as a whole throughout last decades.
		The rumba, introduced in colonial times, has developed into up-tempo varieties such as Soukous, and later to sub-forms such as Zaiko, Kwassa Kwassa, and more recently, the Ndombolo...
		The mellow Lingala-rumba made famous by grand masters Franco and Tabu Ley Rochereau still exists, but younger listeners prefer the modern up-tempo Soukous.

		I added reviews of Fela Kuti's great CD "Beasts of no Nation", Kanda Bongo Man's "Kwassa Kwassa", Loketo's "Soukous Trouble" and Tshala Muana's "Biduaya".
		Sai is my favorite cut from this CD made up of the Bongo Man's French hits.
		This CD by the Bongo Man is not of the same quality of Kwassa Kwassa with the exception of Yesu Christu (Jesus Christ), which is just great.

		In 1983 Kanda played WOMAD in the UK and his international reputation was born.
		The Bongo Man (his father was also called Bongo Man) sings in Lingala, and his high speed form of soukous gave birth to the kwassa kwassa dance rhythm where the hips move back and forth while the hands move to follow the hips.
		Kanda now tours widely with a tight 5-6 person band.

		I haven't tired of this CD yet, and I seriously doubt that I will.
		If you enjoy this CD, check out other soukous gems like Kanda Bongo Man's "Kwassa Kwassa" or "Zing-Zong", and another Loketo recording featuring Aurlus Mabele and Diblo Dibala called "Soukous Trouble", all of which are guaranteed hip-shaking music!
		Also check out the soukous guitar party groove on a compilation called "Lightning Over the River", a superb collection and a great follow-up to further explore Diblo's Loketo sound.
