This CD is a must have to all lovers of Soukous music and alike. I can't stress enough how I like this CD, to put it in perspective, I rate it 5+, if there is such ratings. Please pick it up if you haven't done so.

Nice clean sound with Diblo Dibala's guitar playing featured up front. His playing just keeps everything moving. Good female vocal backup on some of the tracks.

It's good, soukouss fans will like it.

Loketo remain for me my most memorable Zairean band from the late 80's, about the time I was a school leaver. However, the album they recorded with Aurlus Mabele "SOUKOUSS LA TERREUR" is their finest work.

After listening to all types and forms of music from all accross the globe for close to 4 decades now, it is my considered opinion that on the whole that African musicians (especially guitarists) are still not paid the full recognition they deserve! Any living human instantly connects and is transported with the expressive, enrapturing music on this CD!! (After all Africa is indeed the crucible and originator of all life and music!

The first time I heard soukouss music was at a party here in town one summer. I just fell in love with it and that's my main music. You take a couple of cds like this one, your party's guaranteed to be a success.

Soukos Trouble is one of Loketo's best works. It is a perfect combination of high energy and culture mixed together to form an enjoyable and entertaining style of music.
