Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba (born 13 July 1956),[3] known professionally as Koffi Olomidé, is a Congolese singer-songwriter, dancer, producer, and founder of Quartier Latin International.[4][5] Often referred to as the "King of Ndombolo",[6][7] he is noted for his explosive high notes, deep, throaty baritone, and offbeat voice.[8][9] • THE TEAM THAT BLEW OK JAZZ TO SUCCESS In our series of understanding the brains behind the success of OKJ, as part of celebrating Franco's legacy to mark the 35th anniversary of his death, we seek to closely examine the team's wind instrument section. This was an integral part of the ensemble since its inception. For beginners, Congolese rumba is most clustered into five or six generations for the purpose of study, and this is done in chronology, with the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and/ or sixth, as we have dealt with it deeply in a separate post. The sax made an entry into Congolese music during the second generation but became more prominent during the second and died with the third generation. The first generation is that of Wendo, the second is that of Franco, the third is that of Verckys, the fourth is that of Sokous, and the fifth is that of Wenge.
