Initially known as Bana Kibushi Batano, the band was formed in Lubumbashi, DRC, by Vicky Numbi.
In 1965, the band moved to Kigoma, Tanzania. It was there that the band received their new name – Hi-Fives – from an American Catholic priest.
Two years later, they came Kenya to join fellow Congolese musician Pascal Onema, and Zambians Nashil Pitchen and Peter Tsotsi, who were with The Equator Sound Band in Nairobi.
