Docteur Nico, Orchestre African Fiesta - Eternel Docteur Nico 1963 1965 (1985) [Hi-Res]

Eternel Docteur Nico 1963 1965 is a music compilation released by the French label Sonodisc in 1985. The album documents the "Golden Age" of Congolese music, focusing on the early work of L'Orchestre African Fiesta (prior to its split into African Fiesta Sukisa and African Fiesta National).

The album's material covers the period of collaboration between the legendary guitarist Nicolas Kasanda (Docteur Nico) and vocalist Tabu Ley Rochereau, shortly after their departure from Grand Kalle et l'African Jazz. The music is characterized by a blend of traditional African rhythms with Latin American influences (merengue, mambo), with the sound centered around Docteur Nico's virtuoso technique, known for its distinctive shimmering, "Hawaiian" electric guitar tone.
