Tabu Ley’s grave vandalised

Speculations were rife earlier this week in Kinshasa with news of alleged vandalizing of the grave of veteran Congolese crooner Tabu Ley Rochereau. US based Congolese musician Mekanisi Modero confirmed having been informed of the vandalising of his grave by unknown people.”It is unclear the intentions of the perpetrators as the marble covering the tomb was left intact” he said.

Tabu Ley one of DR Congo’s most prolific singers and composers died at a Belgian hospital in November 2013 after a long illness.
