Mokolo ya Pepe Kalle

The Giant of Zairean music, the man with the voice that could shake walls and the dance moves that could shake stadiums. Pepe Kalle sang in Lingala, Swahili, and Kikongo because one language could not contain him. "Karibou ya Bintou" is still played at every party worth attending.
