Docteur Nico with Tabu Ley & Afrisa

[@godfreysilasgarveyolanya9134]

Docteur Nico was a the real guitar wizard. He was the greatest African guitarist. His death was a great lost not only to Zaire (Congo) but to the whole continent of Africa.

[@ambemouelele1818]

NICO et ROCHEREAU, c'étaient les deux monstres de la musique congolaise. Les deux piliers de L'AFRICAN DJAZZ, vous nous manquez énormément chers disparus. Vous demeurerez mes musiciens favoris éternellement. Reposez en PAIX auprès de notre Seigneur.

No wonder why he was called Doctor, the man was just great with his guitar Kongo salutes you...

[@briansureobino]

Dr Nico Kasanda was and forever will remain a guitar wizard, an originator and inventor of unique double pluck style. It is so unfortunate he died so young at 46 when Africa had suddenly been infested by a mysterious diseases that made people loose weight very fast and die. He died in 1985, Franco followed in 1989 and several other notable musicians. Let them continue resting in perfect peace.

[@chebukosiwasike]

The originator of double picking style of playing guitar was a black American jazz giutarist Wes Montgomery. Hiyo ndio habari!

[@Stevohtheguy]

@chebukosiwasike who started double picking in Africa???

[@chebukosiwasike]

@@Stevohtheguy in your original comments,you said that Dr Nico was an originator and inventors of unique double pluck style,and left that comment hanging! not saying whether in Africa or the World?

[@ericbaxonn9878]

I love you Dr Nico. Continue resting in peace, ur music will always rock till the end time.

[@helios600]

Kitoko fort, j’étais trop petit à l’époque de Dr Nico mais à travers les médias je l’ai connu et aimé. Un très bon guitariste comme je découvre.

[@bingwason]

I last saw this video back in 1983 and seeing it again here on KZbin brings back a flood of memories. A real gem. Thanks a million.

[@briansureobino]

Where did you see it? If you are kind enough please reply. And i am asking this 12 years after you wrote it 😁 are you there?

[@alphonceambindwile2721]

But the video was shoted in 1985

[@jarawilla9043]

I have been told LISANGA YA BANGANGA, the album featuring Ley, Franco and Mavatiku, means the gathering of wizards. I have always had a regretful appreciation of it, because Dr. Nico, the devil himself on the solo, did not make it. I watch his perfect readings of the instrumental flow of others in this song and I just have a teary eye, imagining how he could have read Luambo and Visi in the complete gathering of wizards! here, he manages to keep this song permanently at ecstacy!

[@tawananyashamutekwe6725]

Visibly unwell but remained steadfast to his art and craft as a guitarist extraordinaire bringing joy to his multitudes of devoted fans. Forever rest in peace legend,.

[@Prof.Dr.SavaiGukhu]

I am happy too to see a Video of Dr. Nico. The nimbleness with which he handled the guitar is just amazing: A genius.

[@legrandmaitre7112]

That's the first film I've seen of Docteur Nico - thank you so much!

[@bingwason]

Yes, Dr Nico looks very ill in this video. Even his playing of the guitar is not vintage Dr Nico, most likely because he had not plucked the strings for a long time due to illness. However, one can still see that the man was a guitar legend. RIP.

[@bagremhosva]

This was his last perfomance .Lucky someone recorded it for us

Oui, il existe et j'ai déjà regardé ce concert en entier mais malheureusement, je ne le trouve plus sur la toile. Quel concert? Franchement, il n y avait que des grands noms derrière a l'occurence un certain damoiseau qui a joué le solo de Mazé.

He looked sick and this looks like his last concert before he passed

@WorldSrv, @bingwason Yes, I'm aware of that clip (from a film about Idi Amin). I was hoping for some more - a concert or a TV programme or something.

[@Braganzee1]

I find myself back here again

[@oeokosko]

Thank your WorldSrv. I was beginning to think there wasn't any footage of Dr Nico playing, although this is a reunion and he looks very ill. African Fiesta with Dr Nico were one of the best! Any chance of footage of Verckys and Orchestre Veve playing?!

[@lsukemandaraofficial8667]

No Dechaud is not in this video. It's Tabu Ley's orchestre Afrisa.

Docteur Nico died of a syrose of liver His brother and himself drank a lot of local alcohol. He passed in 1985

[@mohamedmohamud3639]

wrong nico died sometimes in the 60's

[@Zaramoku]

Mohamed Mohamud + No, you are absolutely wrong! Dr Nico died in September 1985 in Brussels. Stop spreading false rumors.

[@Zaramoku]

@@ShaddyraddyNY He was way above Franco in the 1960s and early 1970s. But for his taking a break from music (following the Belgian recording company that signed him on going bankrupt) in the 1970s, Franco would still have been beneath him. No Congolese musician of that era was his match in talent, brilliance, and recognition in or outside of Congo. The man was a genius, period.

[@georgeodhiambo598]

@@mohamedmohamud3639 What's the matter with you? Are you suggesting that the Dr. Nico who was captured playing solo guitar live in this song was not the real Dr. Nico? Then you will start striving to convince us that the Tabu Ley who was introducing Dr. Nico in this video was a fake Tabu Ley?

[@BabetuuAmutavy]

Dr Nico died on 16/09/1985 !!

[@WorldSrv]

@oeokosko: As far as I know there is only a very short clip of Verckys & Veve in their heyday. If I remember correctly this has already been posted somewhere. The vocal 'core' of Veve went on as Trio Madjesi; I've posted a video of them with Afrisa.

[@bingwason]

@jm04151975 I am not sure what exactly killed this guitar virtuoso. However, Dr Nico was in poor health for quite some time, considering that he died in Brussels in 1985, about five years after this video was recorded.

[@Zaramoku]

You just flat out lied. Dr Nico was not sick for a long, he died a few weeks after he fell ill and was flown to Belgium. He died while on full musical come back. This video was shot in 1983 but he died in 1985, how is his death 5 years after the shooting of the video?

Nikiwa darasa la 6 mwaka 1966 ( Boza Middle School) Dr. Nicolaus Kasanda alitembelea Tanzania kufanya maonyesho/maonesho ya muziki wa bendi yake ya African Fiesta Sukisa. Ama kweli mambo yalikuwa Moto. Tangia hapo hadi sasa nikiwa na miaka 67 nimekuwa mshabiki wa muziki wake. Uko wapi Hamida, Mimi niko Dar Tz. Ahsante.

[@Zaramoku]

Was he at the same age in the 1960s as he was in the 1980s? Does Tabu Ley look the same way in this video as he looked in the 1960s? How about Kwamy Munsi who's singing back up in the middle, did he look here as he looked in the 1960s? Why do some of you say dumb stuff?

@bingwason Did Dr. Nico die of AIDS? He is my all time favorite guitarist. But there's very little information about him after he moved to Abidjan.

[@Zaramoku]

He did not die of AIDS, you bushman! Stop spreading false rumors, will you? Doing so makes you seem stupid and primitive. What do gain from tarnishing the reputation of a man who died more than three decades ago?

[@georgeodhiambo598]

Nope. It was a liver ailment.

[@hilalzahir5966]

Sorry I mean Tabu lay voice only match with dr. Nico guitar

[@davea3286]

[@hilalzahir5966]

Tabu lay mad a big mistake to dispute with dr. Nico his voice only Dr. Nico guitarist

[@Zaramoku]

What dispute did Tabu Ley have with Dr Nico? If you are referring to 1966, they had no dispute, the misunderstanding was between Nico and Izeidi. Even though Dr Nico was the most talented musician of the two, Tabu Ley was actually the most successful one, so whatever dispute you are talking about must have had no negative effect on his career. Nevertheless, I am more of a Dr Nico's fan than Tabu Ley's, I just said this just to set the record straight.
