L'Orchestre African Fiesta was created in 1963 by Tabu Ley Rochereau and Dr. Nico Kassanda : they decided to launch their own label named Vita .

The tension between Rochereau and Nico led to a split in 1965, with Rochereau, renaming the band "Orchestre African Fiesta 1966", then a few months later, " L'Orchestre African Fiesta National Le Peuple" then Orchestre Afrisa L'International, and making a new label named Flash (23) (complete name is Éditions Flash - Rochereau Chante).

Meanwhile, Dr. Nico decided to plays under the moniker L'Orchestre African Fiesta Sukisa through his own Sukisa (2) / Sukisa (French subsidiary) label.

This update is to dissociate Orchestre African Fiesta (1963-1965) and their following names after 1965.
