Zairian Vocalist And Band Leader Samba Mapangala Has Been A Dominant Figure In East African Music Since The Mid-1970s. Arriving In Kampala Uganda With His Group Les Kinois In 1975 They Eventually Made Their Way To Nairobi In 1977. The Beginnings Of The Famous Virunga Sound Were Already Evident In Their Recordings Prior To The Breakup Of Les Kinois In 1980. Shortly After That Samba Recorded The Now Famous Malako Recordings In Nairobi With His Newly Formed Orchestra Virunga. The Malako LP Now Titled Virunga Volcano Was One Of The Pioneering Releases Of The Newly Emerging World Music Scene In Europe In The Mid-1980s And An Instant Favorite.
