Kebendo Jazz, hailing from Guéckédou, Guinea, emerged as a prominent dance orchestra in the early 1960s. Their dynamic performances and unique sound led them to triumph in the 1963 Festival National des Arts et de la Culture, marking them as one of Guinea's leading musical ensembles. Their recordings from this era, notably released on the Tempo label, capture the vibrant essence of West African music during a transformative period.
