Africando Live at the Zenith in Style!!
At over two hours, this live performance from the summer of 2002 is probably one of the best live concert videos bar none. It features a host of top-shelf vocalists: the great Gnonnas Pedro from Benin, Eugene Shoubou from Haiti's Tabou Combo, heart-throb Koffi Olomide from Congo, Ronnie Barro's extremely strong voice on "Trovador" and "Colombia Mi...

horrible production value and sound quality
This DVD has terrible sound. The musicians, songs, and arrangements are great but the stage is cheesy and the sound quality is awful. I have the Africando All Stars CD and the sound is pristine. The DVD, in my opinion, ruins the music with the terrible audio production. At times the vocals are distorted and the horns are all shrieking treble with no warmth in the mix...

Africando Live at the Zenith in Style!!, November 11, 2002
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
At over two hours, this live performance from the summer of 2002 is probably one of the best live concert videos bar none. It features a host of top-shelf vocalists: the great Gnonnas Pedro from Benin, Eugene Shoubou from Haiti's Tabou Combo, heart-throb Koffi Olomide from Congo, Ronnie Barro's extremely strong voice on "Trovador" and "Colombia Mi Corazon", Sekouba Bambino et al. The trumpet and trombone section scream underpinned by a relentless tidal wave of percussion. The dancers (on some tracks) are not only fluid but sensual to nth degree! The 12-camera crew does an extraordinary job without gimmicks. You right are in the massive group waiting to riff! No blow-you-out-of-the water lights, just well done with Parisian aplomb. It's a music video that is to be reckoned with. Buy it, make sure it's patched through your high-end amp and turn it up. I've found that Champagne accompanies this tour-de-force very well.

If you care at all about audio quality stay away.
