Looks like a very interesting LP honestly speaking.
Thank you so much for all that you post Moos. Your blog has opened my mind and ears to a wonderful new world of music. Much respect and thanks again.
Thank you brother.
hi Moos,,
This iis a record that I know “insideoutside’. I played it easily more then a thousand times. I learned to dance rumba on it in Goma, Kivu province in Congo. Every break of the sebene is glued in my head.. Y a pas de sots metiers is my life philosophy. Respect for everybody who works to make an honnest living and contributes to society no matter what his or her profession is. Musicians those days where considered lowl-lifes in Congo despite the fact that nearly everybody loves music. They drink and have too much girlfriends.. This is a reaction from Dindo against this prejudice. I play it still on every party we have here at home. People may agree or not but for me this is one of the best rumba records of the late eighties , probably because it is youth sentiment mingled with sweet memories in Congos’ most beautiful region Ashante sana.

What great coincidence Rik, nice story, thanks ..
Hey moos do you have another great soukous album from: https://www.discogs.com/Beau-Frere-Mabiala-Tu-Es-Le-Souffle-De-Ma-Vie/release/8519139
..unfortunately not Harris..
Thank you, Moos, it’s very rare anyway.
hi moos, thanks for this nice album, I would like to ask if the songs seben 1 & 2 are really on vinyl because the cover shows that there are only 4 songs. thank you so much
Yes they are really there..
Fantastic! Thanks as always for all the great work sharing this music.
Dear Moos –
Thanks for posting this great disk. I got a copy when it was posted by the Rhythm Connection blog in 2011 (after I had asked him whether he had any Dindo Yogo). He labelled the two sebenes (sebens?) as “Sebene 1 (Francy)” and “Sebene 2 (Bibi).” I agree with his labeling scheme, that those sebenes go with those songs. This explains why the album cover lists 4 songs but there are six tracks, but it opens another question about why the tracks are in this order, in particular why the opening of Francy is split from its sebene. Best answer I can figure out is that the album is intended as an infinite loop – the last song on record side A continues as the first song on side B, and the last song on side B continues as the first song on side A – and it should be played that way.
Dear David, thank you so much for this explanation. It helps us understanding
cheers, Moos.
