Kekele rocks,
By Muk (Azusa, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rumba Congo (Audio CD)
Regardless of one's musical preferences, this is simply beautiful music. These old timers bring back pre-soukous rumba for the new millenium ... heavenly voices over that seductive guitar-driven Congo style. Never ceases to send shivers up the spine. The added advantages of modern recording technology is the pure clarity of sound one misses in the few 50's offerings available. Can't wait fot the follow-up. Hope these guys perform in Southern California sometime.

Beautiful rhythms,
By Shashi Jivan (Berkeley, CA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rumba Congo (Audio CD)
I just saw them live in Berkeley last night, and they were simply amazing to see playing together. The vocal harmonies, Congolese guitar rhythms, accompanying soulful sax, combined with the amazing stage presence of these all star legends made for a most memorable night. I have their Congo Life CD that is hard to stop playing, and last night at the concert I bought the Rumba Congo one, which is packed with intricate congo rhythms and vocal styles. If you're a lover of world music, you will love this CD!

Monsters of Congolese Rumba Decided to Honor the Art Form,
By Play It By Ear "rumba_phile" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rumba Congo (Audio CD)
I don't know what industry people got together to make this possible but this is a breath fresh air.It seems to be getting wide distribution in the USA and actually selling copies to boot. This goes against conventional wisdom that seems to believe that the only thing the public wants is speedy soukous, much of which is beginning to sound all the same. Nothing old fashioned about great imaginative music and this is proof. Nearly 65 minutes and you will shake your hips and buttocks.
