A break is usually interpolated between sections of a song, to provide a sense of anticipation, signal the start of a new section, or create variety in the arrangement.

Bio: Bopol or Don Paolo, was a prolific and renowned Congolese musician (bass player, guitar player most commonly as a rhythm guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer). He recorded and performed extensively over four decades as a solo artist, as a member of leading African bands, and in support of many African musicians. Bopol was best known for his work in the 1980s and early 1990s as one of the four members of the Paris-based supergroup Les Quatre Etoiles (the 4 Stars) and as a solo artist.

From 1969 to 1978 Bopol was based in Zaire and played in a series of bands. He joined many of the leading Congolese musicians of the past and next generations including Ya Toupas with guitarist Pepe Manuaku, Orchestre Bamboula with Papa Noel, and Orchestre Continental with the late Josky Kiambukuta. After that time, he moved to West Africa for a few years to play with Sam Mangwana’s African All Stars band.

Bopol contributed to much of the best Congolese soukous music made during its 1980s and 90s heyday. His best work may be that from the early 1980s. “Manuela” is recognized among his outstanding tracks.

Much of his music is recognized as being highly danceable, although somewhat repetitive. Some of his songs – such as “Pitie, Je Veux La Reconciliation”, “Samedi Soir”, “Bety Bety” – were common staples on many 1980s dance floors around the world.

On his solo recordings, he consistently surrounded himself with stellar musicians. The guitar interplay between Bopol and his frequent collaborator, Syran Mbenza, has been described as “legendary.”

Bopol sadly died on 7 November 2021, at his home in Paris, of a stroke.
