Verckys Orchestre Veve – Toweli Nini ? / Belina 7" TPOK Jazz RE Zaire Congolese Funk, Afrobeat, Psychedelic Rumba
Verckys Kiamuangana Mateta (born 19 May 1944, Kinshasa, Zaire)is a musician (primarily saxophonist), composer, band leader, record producer, and music-business leader in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). While renowned as a talented and prolific musician, he is probably even more noteworthy as "the first indigenous African to own a record label" and for introducing many major Congolese artists to the world through his Veve recording studio and label.
He was once a member of the soukous band TPOK Jazz, led by François Luambo Makiadi, which dominated the Congolese music scene from the 1950s through the 1980s.
In 1969, Verckys Kiamuangana left TPOK Jazz and formed his own band, Orchestre Vévé. Verkys also managed two other bands, which he owned: Orchestre Kiam and Orchestre Lipua Lipua. Among the musicians who played for Verkys in the 1970s are Nyboma Mwandido and Pepe Kalle.
