Can someone correct the title of the Article to call it his correct title of Le Grand Kallé? Brigade Piron (talk) 17:02, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's done. If you planning to do some work on this article you might find the following source useful. There's plenty of material on Kabasele in there.

That's great! Many thanks. I'll see what I can do over the next few days. Could you do the same re-titling to

Grand Kalle et l'African Jazz. I'm also slightly unclear about why the infobox on age reads the ages it does, dates are correct, the computer generated numbers are not. Brigade Piron (talk) 18:12, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply

That's done, although if the African jazz disambiguation page didn't exist I think it might be better to rename Le Grand Kallé et l'African Jazz article to African Jazz. They went by several names; Kalle et l'Orchestre African Jazz, Joseph Kabasele et l'African Jazz, Orchestre African Jazz etc etc. African Jazz is the most stable element. Nevermind though, as long as people can find the article. Sean.hoyland - talk 18:33, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, forgot to say, you can move pages yourself. The 'Move' link is hidden away under the down arrow in the tabs on the right at the top of articles. If you plan to move anything have a read through

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind! If you have a copy of the book you mentioned, could you add further references to the article? Brigade Piron (talk) 20:15, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
