Background notes
Archive material and source history
N'Sonki formed in 1998 when Lokua Kanza, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, teamed up with guitarist Olivier Nsungu and bassist Ben Decca. They started putting out albums in 2000 with their self-titled debut, followed by records like 'Taxi Wallon' in 2005 and 'Emakongo' in 2012.
Their song 'Bye Bye' became one of their better-known tracks. The band worked from France, mixing African rhythms with other influences, though that approach drew some skepticism from critics at the time.
They kept releasing music through the 2000s and into the early 2010s, with albums including 'Melodies Africaines' in 2002 and 'Sans Frontières' in 2008.
