Golden Afrique Vol. 2 (Network Medien)
$38.99
The critical acclaim that was heaped on Golden Afrique Vol.I was well deserved, and now there is a second edition (2005) devoted to Congolese dance music, from African rumba to the early forms of soukous music, the music that toppled highlife from its throne as the pan-African party sound. From the beginnings of the outstanding Ngoma label to Kabasele’s 1960 hit “Indépendance Cha Cha Cha” and featuring an early recording by Manu Dibango, plus Tabu Ley Rochereau, Franco, Sam Mangwana, Dr. Nico, Nyboma, plus an excellent collection of tracks from less famous artists, some of whom can be heard on CD for the very first time.
Listen:
Cooperation - Franco and Mangwana
Africa Mokili Mobimba - Kabasele and African Jazz
