At long last the legendary Congolese group, Verckys & l´Orchestre Vévé, receive a proper showcasing of their great rumba, funk and Afrobeat tracks of the ’70s. Verckys, a bandleader, composer and saxophonist, began his musical career in 1965 performing with the soukous band TPOK Jazz who dominated the Congolese music scene. It was in 1969 that Verckys left TPOK Jazz and formed l´Orchestre Vévé, who went on to become one of Zaire’s most successful acts. Verckys was also an ambitious business man who built an empire of labels, recording studios and clubs. Within the ’80s he abandoned the music scene, leaving behind a legacy of releases on labels including Sonafric, African, Albarika Store, Ngoma and his own label, Editions Vévé.
