Kinshasa 1978 is a compilation of recordings by Konono No. 1, Sankayi, Orchestre Bambala, Orchestre Bana Luya which were all recorded in, you guessed it, 1978. The songs presented here are previously unreleased reconstructed by Martin Meissonnier from a session produced by Bernard Treton. That session created the Congotronics sound and a 1986 album Zaire, Musiques Urbaines Kinshasa.
