biography

Diblo Dibala gained fame as the solo guitarist for Kanda Bongo Man in the 1980s . In the period before that he played jazz with Franco's TPOK and groups like Vox Africa and Bella Bella Orchestra.

In 1986 he left Kanda Bongo Man's band to join Loketo, a Congolese super band in which he met Aurlus Mabele, Mav Cacharel and Mack Macaire.

In 1990 he founded the band "Matchacha" with Freddy von Majunga (rhythm guitar) and Miguel Yamba (bass) as well as Antoinette Yelessa and Joelle Esso. The band name was derived from a plant of the Congolese tropical forest, which causes a strong burning sensation after skin contact. This is exactly what should happen when you hear the music of "Matchatcha", burning and steaming soukous with the special skills of a brilliant solo guitarist.

In addition to his solo albums, he is often involved as a studio guitarist in numerous other African music productions.
