Hit: 5 Stars
Papa Noel was featured on NPR Radio. What little I had heard it sounded beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised when I listened to this CD. It's so relaxing to listen to. It's upbeat and lively. Super music to listen to pool side! I am now sampling his other CD's and intend on buying them.
Cafe Noir Poster
Papa No?l (born Antoine Nedule Monswet on Christmas Day, 1940, hence the affectionate nickname) is one of the greatest African guitarists of all time. His bell-like, rounded, tone, shimmering quicksilver runs and ability to pull ecstatic melodies out of the air -- he never plays any tune the same way twice -- have made him a national treasure with an international fan base. No?l has sat in innumerable seminal bands, from Franco's legendary Kinshasa-based OK Jazz and to the very popular modern Afro-Cuban outfit, K?k?l?; in fact, his biography reads like a history of rumba Congolaise from its inception to the present day. And he is equally celebrated as a composer. His gloriously upbeat anthem, "Africa Mokili Mobimba" is known and loved throughout the Continent and a festive, large-scale version of it, complete with a playfully extroverted call-and-response chorus and tasty sax riffs from No?l's contemporary, Cameroonian superstar Manu Dibango (of "Soul Makossa" fame), opens the album. Accompanied by a stellar team that includes Abby Surya and Pierre Belkos (vocals) plus Rey Crespo (arrangements) and host of journeyman Cuban instrumentalists, No?l has fashioned a valentine to the re-Africanization of Cuban rumba. In his hands, both traditions are ineffably enriched and strengthened, as the circle is resealed, source-to-source. --Christina RodenInternational Music CDs
