Les Quatre Étoiles

Les Quatre Etoiles was a Soukous (the Congolese dance music of the 1980s and 1990s that was immensely popular throughout Africa and elsewhere) musical group, in existence from 1982 to 1996, consisting of the Paris-based Congolese musicians Bopol Mansiamina (bass and rhythm guitar), Wuta Mayi (vocals), Syran Mbenza (lead guitar) and Nyboma (vocals). It was commonly called a "supergroup," since each of the four members of Les Quatre Etoiles have long established individual musical careers.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played many of the supergroup's material during the 80's and 90's, as well as solo material from its members including Bopol Mansiamina and Syran Mbenza. 
After Peel's death in 2004, it was later found out that he had some of their albums in his Record Collection: Q.
