Hello! My name is Lynnaia, and I'd like to tell you about Afrique Fête happening at the French Church du Saint Esprit on Sunday, August 1st. The French Church invites you to celebrate la francophonie africaine with an Africa-themed Holy Eucharist in French at 11:15 am with traditional African hymns, then home-cooked West African dishes offered by our parishioners, lively music and dancing at our reception in the garden following the service. The event is free and takes place at the Church, at 109 East 60th Street in midtown Manhattan. Please call the church office at (212) 838-5680 for further details. A bientôt!

Diblo Dibala, often known simply as Diblo, is a Congolese soukous musician, known as "Machine Gun" for his speed and skill on the guitar. He was born in 1954 in Kisangani. He moved to Kinshasa as a child, and aged 15 won a talent competition which led to him playing guitar in Franco's TPOK band. Dibala remained with the group for only a short period, going on to play with Vox Africa, Orchestra Bella Mambo and Bella Bella, in which band he first played with Kanda Bongo Man.

In 1979, he moved to Brussels, and in 1981 he joined Kanda Bongo Man's band in Paris. Their first album, Iyole (1981), was a success. Diblo became a sought after session guitarist, working with Pepe Kalle and many other soukous musicians.

In the mid 1980s, he formed his own band, Loketo (meaning 'hips'), with singer Aurlus Mabele. A few years later, that band broke up, and in 1990 he formed a new group, Matchatcha, which is still active after a number of personnel changes.
