'African grooves with a more laidback feel can be found on this excellent retrospective. Leader Verckys is one of the titans of Congolese music, a former Franco associate whose exploration of the region's folkloric rhythms like the cavacha was laregly responsible for the soukous beat which followed. The ten tracks here are magnificent, upful rhythm zephyrs.' The WireTracklist:
Kiamuangana Mateta, better known as Verckys, is one of the most famous characters in Congolese music. An outstanding saxophonist with a vigorously funky sound, he was still a teenager when he started playing in prominent bands and only 20 when the great Franco recruited him into OK Jazz, the top band in the land, in 1964. In addition to being a talented instrumentalist, composer, and arranger, Verckys was a showman whose stage antics and dancing won him an avid following that stayed with him when he quit OK Jazz to lead his own Orchestre Vévé in 1969. He started his own record company, Vévé, and proved to be one of the savviest talent scouts and entrepreneurs in the Congolese music business, discovering or putting together many of the best bands of the second generation. His greatest legacy is probably the Orchestre Vévé records he made in the late '60s and early '70s, when Loko Massengo and Saak Saakoul were among the singers and the lead guitarist was Roxy Tshimpaka. Here are ten exemplary tracks for your listening delectation and dancing pleasure.
AllMusic Review Review by Don Snowden
Vintage Verckys combines the lion's share of Orchestre Vévé's The Best Collection (Sonodisc France, 1990) and three of the 14 shorter tracks on Verckys & la Vévé, 1969-1971 (African/Sonodisc, 1998), the only CDs by the Congolese group led by saxophonist Verckys that were released internationally. Verckys led Franco's band from 1964-1969 before forming Vévé, and Vintage Verckys offers a refreshing jolt of sax-oriented early-'70s soukous. Soukous was well on its well to becoming a totally guitar-dominated sound, and Verckys' braying sax solos during the sebenes (rave-up sections) of tracks like "Baluti" counted as an innovation. But Vévé didn't cut entirely against the grain – the rhumba foundation of Congolese music is apparent in "Marcela Tozangana," exceptional guitar playing marks "Sakumuna," and Verckys' sax, the harmony vocals, and the guitar coalesce magnificently at the end of "Mama Djele." The sound quality is a bit ragged, but these tracks were recorded in Africa 30 years ago, when well-rehearsed musicians still ruled and the vitality of the music was all-important. The sense of fresh frontiers being discovered and old barriers broken down is readily apparent in "Vivita," as great horn arrangements and vocals ride over the loping rhythm section for nearly ten minutes. Great music from a formative era of African pop.
