This video is a compilation of some of the best 90's Soukous songs and sebenes featuring maestro guitarist Caen Madoka!!!
Sebene, also known as seben, is an instrumental section commonly played in Congolese rumba. It is usually played towards the end of the song and is the dancing section where the lead and rhythm guitars take the lead in the dance.

"Afriki" and "Muso Ko" are two albums that I find captivating. The lively rhythm and the melodic beauty has a synergy that is hard to match. The recording quality seems top notch also, revealing the musicality and technical mastery of the musicians. I would love to find some other recordings in a similar genre that are on par with these albums.
