Just as Franco had Editions Populaires and Edipop, so Tabu Ley Rochereau, the other great master of Congolese rumba, had his own label, Genidia, for releases by himself and his proteges.
There’s a particular curiosity value to GEN 006, a single from Doug Paterson’s collection, as it is a praise song to Kenya’s then president Daniel Arap Moi.
