Surboum African Jazz

This label by Joseph Kabasele, le Grand Kalle, followed in 1961 his earlier label African Jazz, which was created with the help of Belgian caompany Fonior. "And with that he (Kabasele) became the Congo's first African music publisher. ...Kabasele marketed his label exclusively in Congo (Léopoldville) while Fonior received the distribution rights for Europe and the rest of Africa." Gary STEWART, 2000, pp. 98/99
While the label was the label for Kabasele's Orchestre African Jazz is published some side of competitor Orchestre O.K. Jazz
