Souzy Kasseya arranged the album and provided solid lead guitar, supported by a stellar band including Maika Munan and Miguel Yamba on guitars, and Manu Lima and Phillippe Guez on keyboards. Only on one cut do programmed drums intrude, while on "Kapinga," the opening cut on side two, the synthesized sounds work perfectly.
This album was produced by the brilliant Ibrahima Sylla, and it reflects his astute packaging of talent to reach a global audience. Now it reaches you.

Thank you for sharing this and other wonderful music. Apurva from Pune, India.
Hello Apurva. I wondered when you would stop by. Thanks for your kind words; they mean a lot since I have seen your comments on other sites and know that you have discriminating taste. Please stay tuned: There is a lot more, including Zimbabwean, to come.
cheers, robert
I just discovered this blog. I love the music!! great stuff, Ed
Yes, it's nice to have another female voice from the Congo here. Later Tshala went a bit too much into that sort of Zaire synth pop as far as I heard her music. But this one's really o.k. I like this flowing sound introduced by Tabu Ley and Mbilia Bel.
I saw her several times erforming
Thanks
sincerely
