Vumbi Dekula Stockholm, Sweden
Kahanga "Vumbi" Dekula, who now lives in Sweden, is one of Europe's greatest ambassadors for Congolese music. He cut his
teeth playing in a number of legendary Tanzanian rumba bands, including Orchestra Maquis, before emigrating to Sweden in the early '90s and forming the fabulous Dekula Band.
Congo Guitar is his first solo recording.

Fascinating Senegalese-Swedish project. As the "Collectif" suggests, many musicians are involved. The foundation of the album had been recorded in Senegal under pandemic circumstances, overdubs have been added in Sweden and Senegal. A real cross-cultural endeavour !
