When this blog started in 2015, taking over from my former blogspot address, I used the name of singer Tabu Ley Rochereau, who often performed with Franco Luambo’s TPOK Jazz Band. This had been a favourite of mine since I first discovered African music through some tracks copied on to a cassette by a local friend, Bernie Wise, including some by Orchestra Baobab, who became famous for a style which became called Afro-Cuban Jazz.

I hope you like the songs.
