Talk:Konono N°1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article stated that the band was formed around 1980, but it had to have been earlier than that. The group appears on Zaire: Musiques Urbaines Kinshasa, a 1978 album released by ORTF's Radio France's Ocora label (C 559007). They are fully credited as "Orchestre Tout Puissant Likembe Konono No. 1," one of four groups on the album (Konono's track is "Mungua-Muanga"). Unfortunately I do no have a copy of the album's liner notes to check any further details. I haven't looked at the external links to see what dates they provide. - Gyrofrog (talk) 04:42, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

This link has some more information about the album, as cataloged by the University of Texas library (where I originally found this). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:01, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I've added this information to the article but I'm sure it could use some copyediting (in particular, I'm not sure my attempt at translating the long French name was correct). If no one beats me to it, tomorrow (hopefully) I'll try and cobble together a discography. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
