SEARCH: mainly 70s african guitar pop with bitchin rhythms

when he revisited his first album, (got santana on guitar which is not quite what you meant by guitar pop) but the rhythms are indeed bitchin'

I'm starting to plumb the depths of Guinea and its national label/bands. I've heard some Bembeya stuff I like, but the real treat has been 22 Band. I first heard a great track on a WFMU show and then found this:

Fantastic album.

Do Osibisa count?

Daniel Owino Misiani & Shirati Band Benga Blast (fierce Kenyan guitar pop with heavy bass lines; to this dabbler's ears it sounds sort of like soukous riding a S African groove).

I think the more recent Kings Of History which was actually recorded several years earlier,probably best part of a decade. Sound is better too it having been remastered last year. The cd of Benga Blast I have is pretty quiet.
Been hoping that Kings Of History would be rerally popular and cause people to compile a lot more Benga. Been trying to get hold of more since first coming across Shirati Jazz on a single that I first really remember appearing at hiome in the early 80s. My dad is a Luo, the tribe who create the music. Don't think he was musical though.
so hoping Kings provokes the compiling of a volume 2.

Random youtube stumble, know nothing about the band but sounds incredible

mislabeled btw, that's Orchestre Kara de Kinshasa (as shown in picture), not Canon du Zaire. At least the first 40 mins or so are.
