Profile

L'[a=Orchestre African Fiesta] was created in 1963 by [a=Tabu Ley Rochereau] and [a=Dr. Nico] Kassanda : they decided to launch their own label named [l=Vita]. The tension between Rochereau and Nico led to a split in 1965, with Rochereau, renaming the band " L'Orchestre African Fiesta National Le Peuple " then [a=Orchestre Afrisa L'International], and making a new label named [l=Ed. Flash] (complete name is Éditions Flash - Rochereau). Meanwhile, Dr. Nico decided to plays under the moniker [a=L'Orchestre African Fiesta Sukisa] through his own [l=Sukisa] label. Reissued on [l=Decca] / [l=African], see [l=Vita (3)].
