Lucie Eyenga

Lucie Eyenga Moseka (1934 – 12 December 1987) was a Congolese singer-songwriter and one of the earliest female figures in the male-dominated African rumba music. Born in Mbandaka (then Coquilhatville), she was discovered in the 1940s by guitarist Zacharie Elenga and subsequently signed to the Opika label. She gained further prominence as a member of Le Grand Kallé's African Jazz between 1954 and 1956.

After Opika closed, Eyenga joined the Editions Esengo label and achieved notable success with the band Rock-a-Mambo between 1957 and 1958. There, she took part in recording popular songs such as "Brigitte", "Mabe Na Yo Moko", "Dit Moninga", "Nasepeli Mingi", and "Zozo Moke". After a brief hiatus due to the closure of Editions Esengo and the breakup of Rock-a-Mambo, she returned to the music scene in 1962 with Brazzaville's Negro Band, where she recorded the hits "Adoula" and "Georgette".

In 1983, she joined African Fiesta Sukisa, led by Nico Kasanda. Eyenga died in Kinshasa on 12 December 1987.
