Canon du Zaïre – Monotonie, Djo Mpoy,Shakara Music

Canon du Zaïre, front, cd size

It’s been a while since we had Djo Mpoy. Hearing his voice is
a real treat. On this record we hear him with his friend Diato
Lukoki and their group ‘le Canon du Zaïre’. It’s called ‘Monotonie’.
A title that doesn’t cover the load of great music exposed here.
I am not sure but in Dutch the word has no positive meaning.
Except from the fact he worked with Fanco’s OK Jazz, I can’t
tell you a whole lot more about Djo. I do know this is a very
nice album, beautiful harmonies, the drummer in this band
is a sheer hero, enjoy le Canon du Zaïre, damn fireworks.

tracks;

1 Santa
2 Monotonie
3 Nalelela Nani
4 Cherie Na

    This has made my day!
    Without doubt one of TPOKJ azz premier singers, Joe Mpoyi is a long time favorite of mine.

    Thanks
    Sincerely

    Moos,
    you are doing the firework this month. I have problems to listen to all the music you are posting actually. (But I will, of course!)
    And by the way I try to post something by myself at Dial Africain between.

    monotonie is one of the songs off the album. monotonie doesn’t describe the album but rather the relationship that the singer is singing about.

    i love your blog, continued success!! :)
