Orchestre Lovy du Zaire - Conseil d'Ami (1972)
african 90.598
VICLONG 27
Congolese musicians also took inspiration from the US, playing here a bluesy song which introduction can remind "this is a man's world". Really smooth and deep.

MIX /// Muzzicaltrips In Congo (1966-74)
A travel around really beautiful rumbas and early soukous, played by orchestras during early years of Congo under Mobutu Sese Seko. Great voices, crazy guitars, sweet horns, in various congolese styles. Selection is based on 45s from Fiesta, African and Pathe labels, which are not extremely rare to bump into in africa as generally not the styles hardly sought after by vinyl diggers, in parallel to be a bit lost in the huge congolese production.
Cooperative un point un trait - Kiamukoko (early 80's soukous in Paris)
(SAVAS-IGUANE SA 300039).
To have an idea of the mood of this bloody song, "Quelle ambiance!" repeated many times in the song means "what a great atmosphere"...
