- Kanda Bongo Man (born Bongo Kanda; 1955) is a Congolese soukous musician. Kanda Bongo Man was born in Inongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. He became the singer for Orchestra Belle Mambo in 1973, developing a sound influenced by Tabu Ley. His solo career only started to take off after he moved in 1979 to Paris, where his music started to incorporate elements of then-vibrant zouk music popularized by Kassav (originating in the French West Indies). His first solo albums, Iyole in 1981 and Djessy in 1982, were hits. He is known for the structural changes he implemented to soukous music. The previous approach was to sing several verses and have one guitar solo at the end of the song. Kanda Bongo Man revolutionized soukous by encouraging guitar solos after every verse and even sometimes at the beginning of the song. His form of soukous gave birth to the kwassa kwassa dance rhythm where the hips move back and forth while the hands move to follow the hips. Like many African rumba and soukous musicians before him, Kanda Bongo Man also had an entourage of musicians. Many of Kanda's musicians later moved on to start their own solo careers. Most notable of these was Diblo Dibala. Known as "Machine Gun", Diblo Dibala was a vital part of Kanda Bongo Man's lineup on several albums, playing guitar on both Kwasa Kwasa and Amour Fou. Kanda Bongo Man still tours in Europe and the United States. In July 2005 he performed at the LIVE 8: Africa Calling concert in Cornwall. He has performed several times at the Africa Oyé Festival in Liverpool, most recently in June 2022. (en)

- Kanda Bongo Man, född 1955, är en Kinshasa-kongolesisk musiker, numera bosatt i Storbritannien. Sedan 1980-talet har han spelat till den typiska dansstilen kwasa kwasa som är en dansstil med rytmiska höftrörelser. Sin första stora internationella hit fick han 1983 genom skivan Iyole. 1989 släpptes en ny skiva, nu även i USA, Kwasa Kwasa, som nådde en helt ny publik. Kanda spelade på Summer Scene i New York till en publik på 15.000 personer. Han introducerade den traditionella soukous-stilen för amerikaner. I Storbritannien spelade han vidare på flera festivaler, bland annat Glastonburyfestivalen, och otaliga radio- och TV-framträdanden. I juli 2005 spelade han på konsert i Cornwall. Han har spelat in ett flertal CD:er och DVD:er som säljs i de större skivaffärerna i England och USA. (sv)
