A little soukous to beat the Sunday night blues. ‘Grand Père’ Bozi Boziana – nicknamed like that since the 80s when he was still only in his thirties – got his start with Zaïko Langa Langa and then Langa Langa Stars, before founding his Anti-Choc! Here he poses in front of the Wildried Street shop, in a nod to the cover of Franco et le TP OK Jazz, photographed in the same place. Bozi Boziana was a staple of Congolese rumba and soukous, and Mon Mari Est Gabonais is definitely one of his hits. And the late Hilaire Penda plays bass on this 1987 album.
