Editorial Reviews

Unavailable in the U.S.! This is the original issue of the female African accapella outfit's first album, which was eventually released in America as Adventures In Afropea Vol. One. This edition of their debut, which is still considered their finest studio recording, features 'Etupe', which does not appear on the U.S. edition of album. Zap Mama, formed by Marie Daulne, originally from Zaire, tackle a variety of World Music styles and have received unending critical acclaim for their inventive arrangements and their live performances. Wagram.

What can I say? Smooth, rythmic,beautiful and fluid voices united singing pure R/B /reggae and hip hopish melodies in french...Sexy is an understatement. If you like Eryka Badu, De'angelo or The Roots you will love this album. Quality music! Buy it! own it! It will give you many hours of joy!

I first became exposed to this group while living in France. The vocals are beautiful. Some of the songs are almost lullabies

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich Vocal "Soup" for the Soul!!, May 16, 2007

This review is from: Zap Mama (Audio CD)

I used to own this Cd years ago, and then it disappeared. I just bought another copy, and what pleasure to re-discover the pure richness of this original Zap Mama album. Totally accoustic, warmly and intimately recorded, these extraordinary women serve up an uplifting soup of vocal blends, African and Euro melodic delights, and mind-boggling percussive feats.
Simply yummy listening, infectious melodies, and an over-all joyous atmosphere.
Totally recommend to anyone into accapella, world music, intricate vocal sounds and woman's music.
