Souzy Kasseya is a brilliant Congolese guitarist and composer who completely shaped the vibe of modern Soukous and Rhumba. If you know his name, you definitely know his 1984 monster hit "Le Téléphone Sonne," which perfectly captured his signature bright, fluid guitar style and catchy horn sections. Beyond his own hits, he was a massive force behind the scenes in Paris, working as a go-to producer and session musician for legends like Tshala Muana and Mpongo Love.
