Orchestra Makassy was a music group led by Kitenzogu "Mzee (elder)" Makassy, who hailed from Kivu in Eastern Zaire. The band was established in Kampala in 1975, comprising both Zairean and Ugandan musicians. After being driven out of Uganda by Idi Amin's regime, they settled in Tanzania, initially performing as a cover band at the New Africa Hotel in Dar es Salaam. Eventually, they moved to Kenya. The group disbanded in late 1982.
