John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Dany Engobo

Dany Engobo is a Congolese soukous musician and leader of Les Coeurs Brises. He started his music career in Brazzaville. He worked with a guitar maestro Diblo Dibala in most of his songs. He moved to Paris in 1976 where he formed his band, Les Coeurs Brises. The band included musicians from France, Algeria, and Israel alongside Congolese dancers who lived in Paris. The group toured across Europe, the United States, and some countries in Africa but never in his home country. He learned French upon his arrival in the country and from then on he started singing his songs in that language. For international purposes, his songs are in Lingala Language and French.

Engobo and his dancers were one of the bands, amongst others, to popularise the dance style of Ndombolo, which "centres on the movement of the female dancers." The dancers use traditional dancers along with some burlesque elements.
