M'Bamina, also known as Lightning, was formed on July 1, 1972, by eight boys who discovered tools and equipment to play music in Italy. They made their debut performance at Le Rotonde di Garlasco, near Pavia, in 1973. After two years, they released their first album, "African Roll," produced by a French impresario and an Italian club owner. In 1976, the band embarked on a European tour and performed a notable show in Cameroon at the Stade de Yaounde. The following year, in 1977, M'Bamina opened a concert for a prominent artist at Au Pavillon de Paris. Their music is characterized by a blend of R&B, Afro-Cuban, and traditional influences, combining instrumental music, dance, and song into a captivating performance.
