Congo, Tours de Force vol. 1 – Various Artists

Posted on January 17, 2011 by Moos

During the past few weeks I have been going through
my Congolese files to pick out the most beautiful songs.
A proces that takes a lot of time and I ended quite some
evenings almost sleeping behind my PC. Today I am ready
to present you the first compilation. I have named them
‘Congo, Tours de Force’ and this is volume 1. A collection
of my very favourite tracks, hand picked for you, hope U like.
More volumes are about to follow.

3 Verckys – Nakomitunaka
4 Trio Madjesi – Photo Madjesi
5 Vicky et OK Jazz – En memoire de Bayon
6 Bavon Marie Marie & Négros Succés – Libangana libumu
7 Fantastic Tchico – Mieux vaut tard que jamais

So much sweet nice music, day by day, that I feel sometimes like a child opening a surprise bag. But I have at last not always the time to listen to each what you have posted, so that I appreciate the compilations of your favorites very much. Thank You for all the work, really a big present to the world and all people who love african music.

Great stuff Moos. Really appreciate it. Is this all stuff you have previously posted or are there some ‘bonus tracks’ here. Just that on a quick listen not everything was familiar.
