Biography

Mbenzu Ngamboni Bokili (born 28 September 1951), better known as Bozi Boziana, is a Congolese singer, songwriter and bandleader. He has been in several major soukous bands, including Orchestre Bamboula, Minzoto Sangela, Zaiko Langa Langa, Isifi Lokole, Yoka Lokole, Langa Langa Stars and Choc Stars, and founded his own band, Orchestre Anti-Choc, which is considered among the most influential of the genre and also notable for introducing up to three female vocalists at any one time (as opposed to backing singers or dancers) into this band all of whom became celebrities in their own right, a tradition which continues up to today.
