Soukous music legend Aurlus Mabele has succumbed to complications arising from a previous stroke in France, his counterpart Nyboma Mwandido confirmed to the Nation on Friday.

Mr Mwandido said Mabele passed on at a Paris hospital where he had been admitted on Thursday night

The shocking news of Mabele’s death was announced by his daughter Liza Monet on her social media account.

“My dad died of coronavirus this morning [Thursday night] … Thank you for honoring his memory. He is a great legend of the Soukouss that the Congolese people are losing today. I am inconsolable and collapsed. My dad whom I love so much … Aurlus Mabele,” Liza posted on her Twitter account

The Soukous music legend was born in 1953 in Brazaville, Congo.

Mabele was one of the founders of the legendary supergroup Loketo (hips) band, formed in the mid-1980s alongside Mav Cacharel and Diblo Dibala, which broke up a few years later.

He was one of the first Paris-based Soukous Stars and set the standards with several Long Plays (LPs) in the 1980s.

Mabele is known for hits such as Liste Rouge, Embargo among many others.

fans of soukous music are mourning the death of Paris-based musician Aurlus Mabele, who succumbed on Thursday to a coronavirus infection, coming as he was suffering the effects of a stroke years ago.

Sixty-seven-year-old Mabele was from Congo Brazzaville.

Speaking to the Nation on Friday, his counterpart, Nyboma Mwandido, confirmed the news, adding that a family member got information of the Covid-19 infection from the French hospital Mabele was receiving treatment at.

"We are liaising with family members on funeral arrangements. We'll also get more details from the hospital on his medical condition," he said.

Mabele, guitarist Diblo Dibala, Rammy Salomon and Jean Baron were members of Loketo Band, formed in mid-1980s.
Some of their popular songs include "Extra Ball', "Douce Isabella" and "Choc a Distance".

Kenyans got a chance to watch him live in 1991. He was backed by his new solo guitarist Dally Kimoko, Jean Baron and then-drummer Awilo Longomba.

Lingala musician Sammy Wamuri (Ya Kembo) said he attended all his shows and is saddened by his death. "It was Aurlus who made me love soukous music," he said.

Rhumba fan and media personality Catherine Karanja said she kept a collection of the band's music.
