Customer Reviews
Finally, a release that does justice to the man
Wow, this really is too good. As far as I can work out everything's chronological starting with a track from his first ever session in 1953 and ending (this vol. anyway) with a movingly poignant track from 1980. But the whole thing flows, it's not musicological at all and everything kind of hangs together in a way that finally 'tells the story' of whom many would reckon is the greatest popular musician Africa has yet to produce. From his early years check "Sansi Fingomangoma" (CD1/7) with it's spoken intro and compulsive rhythm and, as he moves towards a fully mature sound, what about "Liberte" (CD2/8) with it's fantastic guitar-play about 2/3ds of the way through? And while you're about it there's always the best-ever ad for Volkswagen, 1973's "AZDA", the name of VW's (sung "vey-wey") agent in Kinshasa at the time. Vol. 1 suggests that there's a vol. 2 on its way. Oy!
