Finally following up on my earlier post of
No. 2, here is the splendid
L'Afrique Danse No. 3 that features wonderful, formative Congolese rumba. Side A has delicious songs by
Kalle and
Kwami, and easily heard in their singing is the impact they had on the up-and-coming Rochereau.
Side B has a quartet of strong songs from
Orchestre Negro Success, and a rare, lovely couplet from
Robin (Albert Missia) and
Orchestre Los Angel, including the sublime cha-cha-cha "Kawa." This offering comes from nearly pristine vinyl, so please immerse yourself.

Many thanks fo this great record in such great condition!
Just to say : thank you!
Thank you for sharing this album. I appreciate your drive for high sound quality. Apurva from Pune, India.
Thank you for this one: formative sounds like just the right word for it. Those first 2 from the great Kalle are much earlier than anything of his I've heard & explain an awful lot about his reputation; and the Kwami tracks are barely less wonderful. If side B is less strong, it's only because side A is so enormously impressive! Thank you
