Dindo Yogo - Apres Leurs Tournées de Tokyo-Paris-Kinshasa (1987)

Dindo Yogo was a singer and composer who passed through Viva La Musica and Langa Langa Stars, before settling into Zaiko Langa Langa for his longest band tenure. During his career, ended early at the age of 44 in 2000, he also produced several solo recordings. This album from 1987 captures a full, rollicking Zaiko sound, powered by that band's great guitarists, Popolipo and Petit Poisson.

Strangely, each side of this record begins, abruptly, with the extended sebene of last song on the other side. I was tempted to fuse them onto the proper songs, but left them as they were. "Souviens-Toi" is the best song on the album, but it is all fine listening.

hi ralf,
I just tried it and it worked fine; also, 70 d'loads today. Please try again.

When you unzip the file and a message that says:
The filename, directory or label is invalid .......

Okay, I have an idea. I changed the name because Mediafire does not accept é. Sorry that you have had so much trouble with this one, and I'll remember not to use accents in file names. I already learned not to use parentheses. You should be able to change the name yourself on the file you downloaded, before unzipping. That may solve it. I hope so. Hasta. R

I requested that you post a Dindo Yogo disk by e-mail to you, and very much appreciate your posting this one, which is excellent. But I more appreciate what you are doing overall - great, great stuff, & super-well packaged, exemplary.

Thank you all for your very kind words. David, I was just lucky to have this one Dindo Yogo record to meet your request, and hopefully I will keep serving things of interest long into the future.

Recently I have been focussing more on producing the best sound quality possible. It takes a little longer, but the music deserves it. Besides, I am digitizing the records for myself, too, and (selfishly) I want the cleanest listen I can achieve. It's fun! And, as a friend pointed out to me yesterday, a labor of love.
