Zaïko Langa Langa, also known as Zaïko Langa Langa Nkolo Mboka, is a Congolese rumba band formed in Kinshasa in December 1969. Widely regarded as one of the most influential bands in modern Congolese and African popular music, the band was established by D.V. Moanda, Henri Mongombe, Marcellin Delo, and André Bita, emerging from the Orchestre Bel Guide National, which is considered its direct precursor. Zaïko Langa Langa reshaped Congolese rumba by abandoning the single-bandleader model in favor of a collective of co-founders, before ultimately transitioning to centralized leadership under Jossart N'Yoka Longo since 1981. The band became an emblem of Kinshasa's urban youth and the Congolese diaspora, inspired by 1960s Congolese student bands in Belgium.
