Pascal-Emmanuel Sinamoyi from the Democratic Republic of the Congo African rumba singer and songwriter Tabu, real name Tabu Ley Rochereau (13 November 1940 – 30 November 2013), was well-known.
He was an influential singer and songwriter who founded Orchestre Afrisa International and had a big influence on Africa.
By fusing elements of Congolese folk music with Cuban, Caribbean, and Latin American rumba, Tabu Ley and the musician Dr. Nico Kasanda created the soukous (African rumba). He also gained international recognition for his songs.

Tabu Ley pursued a political career after the Mobutu administration was overthrown. His musical career paralleled that of Franco Luambo Makiadi, the other outstanding Congolese rhumba bandleader and competitor who led the group TPOK Jazz in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
