One of the most prolific (and flamboyant) characters in Congolese music, Papa Wemba first shot to fame in 1969 with Zaiko Langa Langa and continued to soar throughout the ‘70s. With his project Viva La Musica, Papa Wemba took the Congo’s homegrown style of soukous to Europe and then the world. Notoriously one of the sharpest dressers in Congolese music, too, Papa Wemba became one of the central figures in promoting La Sape: a youth movement which empowered young Congolese people to turn the art of dressing well into a Congolese cultural identity.
