Diblo Dibala's departure from Loketo in 1990 marked the birth of Matchatcha. The band's sound is characterized by "speed soukous," which streamlines the traditional Congolese rumba by focusing on high-octane, guitar-driven dance floor climaxes. This style, characterized by interlocking guitar riffs and rapid-fire solos, became a global phenomenon throughout the 1990s.

Known as the "Machine Gun" for his blistering speed and precision, Congolese guitar virtuoso is a central figure in the evolution of modern soukous. After rising to fame as the lead guitarist for Kanda Bongo Man and later co-founding the group Loketo, Dibala formed Matchatcha in 1990—a band named after a rainforest plant that causes a "burning" itch, reflecting the high-energy, infectious nature of their music.
