Ry-Co Jazz became pan-African heroes during the 1960s by introducing their vital Congo/Latin rhythms to West Africa. Founded in Congo in 1958/59 and managed by a hit parade guitarist who first brought Franco into the recording studio, the band originally included members such as Panda Gracia. They were soon joined by an ace guitarist who remained with the group until their journey ended in 1972. In 1967, with the addition of sax master, they spent four years in the French Antilles, leaving a lasting influence on the pioneers of 'zouk' music.
