Thank you for this post. Very interesting tunes from Congo in the 70's.
I'm struggling finding any info on Orchestre Alberthos. Is there any info on the back sleeve or on the disc? Who composed these two tracks?
Is there any connection here with Verckys & Orchestre Veve?

Hi LeFrack,
I'm equally stumped by the Alberthos tracks. Both songs are described as rumbas on the labels and both are attributed to Porthos, which could be Pablo Lubadika Porthos who later went on to play with L'African All Stars, but then again it may be someone completely different. Got no clue about the year of release or anything. If you find out anything interesting, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mr Tear
Hi, first a long overdue thank you, somehow I hadn't seen this before.
About Alberthos - my guess is that is a grouping of Orch. Conga Success. Albertos is credited on a number of their singles - for instance here:

Porthos (aka Pablo Lubadika) also played with them early in his career.
I wonder if they were big fans of the three musketeers?
Thanks for piecing together this collection and sharing it.
