Sam Mangwana
Cantos de Esperança
$17.99

One of the greatest voices of Congolese rumba goes back to the Latin roots on this 2003 release

Listen!

"Mangwana's recent recordings have explored a more varied, acoustic sound in the production, and this one follows suit with its emphasis on multiple acoustic guitars, real percussion, accordions, violins and horns. There are few voices like his in the world, and this kind of a setting just emphasizes the warm, honey-soaked delivery he offers. Cantos de Esperança loads on the Latin roots that made "Mangwana-style Congolese music" a hit all over Africa, and all you need to hear is his reworking of the magnificent "Faty" to hook you completely." - CF, RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
