-- Congolese guitarist Mose "Fan Fan" Sesengo played with Orchestra Makassy in Tanzania during the late 70s. According to the liner notes of "Belle Epoque," four tracks on this CD, "Ciska," "Molema," "Venus" and "Chama Cha Mapinduzi" were recorded with Makassy in Dar es Salaam. "Ciska" and "Molema" are in fact from "The Greatest Hits of 'Makassy'" (EMKLP 01, above), while "Venus" is "Bakokabolakate" (EMK-08) retitled.
