the music that is presented in this amazing cd is filled with a full spectrum of various cultures. Ranging from hot latin beats to african high-life. This multi-cultural cd will most definately appeal to many walks of life. The name of the cd is Tata Masamba. Alone that song will surely go platinum. Ricardo is a multi lingual artist and excells at grasping the attention of the different societies of languages in which he blows his tune. I personally have been honored to have seen this group perform on many occaions. Not only do they sound great but they also put on an amazing and exciting show.

This CD presents a magnificent, seamless blend of dance-able Cuban and Congolese sounds (leaning a little more towards the Cuban on most tracks). From the stellar guitar work of Cameroonian guitarist Louis Wasson to the lively flute work of Nino Jesus Alejandro, this album never ceases to please and amaze. Blazing congas, powerful horns, fantastic guitars, and soulful vocals make this music come alive and will get your feet moving!

For anybody who loves Salsa or African music. This guy is unbelievable, an African that can sing Salsa better than any South American ! it's impossible ! You better believe it !
This Salsa is also fused with African influences, as many of the songs end in La Rumba Congolaise style, with beautiful guitar playing and melodies.Also his band Makina Loca (Crazy Machine) has a very talented versatile Cuban arranger in Nino Jesus.
Believe me this guy is not real, he is completely unique ! I am still waiting for his next CD !

A mix of Congolese soukous and Cuban son. Soulful, happy music. All of Ricardo Lemvo's CDs are excellent.

I have been searching for this song since I saw the movie "Dance With Me". It is the best "son montuno" in the entire soundtrack, but, it does not appear on the official CD soundtrack. I was only able to find it at IMDB.com. I love to practice my drumming to this song. It has an excellent swing and personality unique to Cuban music.
