Samba Mapangala, born in 1955 in Matadi, Bas Zaire. He is one of the many artists who left Zaire to look for new audiences in East Africa, mainly Kenya and Tanzania. He started learning Music in 1968 from old friend Mzee called Tinapa for two years, and left him in good faith in 1969 to form his own band. In late 1969 he formed his own band under the name of La-Lune and released few records in Kinshasa Zaire. Martin Sinnock, Samba Mapangala - Viva La Musica On Totally Radio CD, Transcription.
