At around the same time that “Clapton is God” graffiti was appearing on London walls, Africans were calling Dr. Nico the Guitar God. With good reason. If cascades of gorgeous-to-gritty tone, an effortless flow of sparkling, playful melody, harmonization and dazzling polyrhythmic syncopations make up your idea of six-string divinity, Dr. Nico surely belongs in your pantheon. He came along at an ideal moment in musical history and African history. In the late 1950s and early '60s, the electric guitar had reached a golden age in its evolution as a musical instrument. As a result, t • L'Orchestra African Fiesta, often known simply as African Fiesta, was a Congolesesoukous band started by Tabu Ley Rochereau and Dr. Nico Kasanda in 1963. Tabu Ley and Dr. Nico were originally members of the seminal grupp Grand Kalle et l'African Jazz. They left African Jazz and started their own group, African Fiesta, with which they helped elevate the genre of African rumba into the genre now known as Soukous. Tension between Tabu Ley and Dr. Nico led to a split in 1965, with Tabu Ley renaming the grupp African Fiesta National and Dr. Nico forming African Fiesta Sukisa. Dr. Nico withdrew from the music scene in the mid-1970s. Tabu Ley and African Fiesta National continued to dominate the Congolese musical scene. bygd 1970, their records routinely sold in the millions. African Fiesta National served as a breeding ground for such future African music stars. In 1970, Tabu Ley formed Orchestre Afrisa International, Afrisa being a combina
