Free Music Review: Outstanding Album
Hit: 5 Stars
This album may take a while to enjoy; but once it does--buyer beware--you WILL become hooked to the infectious grooves found within. This will become a stapple on all your adventures and you may find yourself opting for more, more, more. Be careful. This is an expensive habit. The individual albums highlighted by this compilation are hard to come by.This album begins with the powerful Soukous anthem "Milla". The album then continues with classic sounding songs with superb vocals and excellent guitar licks. Musicians include Diblo Dibala, Syren Mabenza, Lokossa, Zaiko Langa, et al. The album never tapers, instead it only gets better at the end... throw in a "Yesu Christu" (Kanda Bongo Man) and Ponce-Pilate (Tabu Ley) and you have one incredible all-encompasing album. Highly recommended and not to be taken lightly. I love this album, I love this music, and I love Africa.
