Bakolo Music International STEN

Tom Vantorre and Benjamin Viré

“Bakolo Music International” has just celebrated the group’s 70th anniversary. Its musicians are the last surviving witnesses of a great era, the golden age of Congolese rumba. This year they are setting off on a new international tour. Whatever awaits them on their travels, the musicians from Bakolo will continue to play the rumba until their last movement is a guitar chord, their last breath a saxophone solo and their last step a dance step.
