Les Bantous de la Capitale
Les Merveilles du Passé 1963
african 1986

Bantous de la Capitale, front, cd size

Now this is what I would call Rumba Congolesa. In african’s great series
Les Merveilles du Passé, this beautyful collector with songs from 1963.
It contains three songs from the hand of Essou, who just recently
passed away, RIP. Other songs by Jojo, Papa Noël, Nino Malapet
and Kouka Celestin. If african opens up a box with historic material,
they make sure we’re left with nothing to wish for, sweet selection.

tracks;

1 Tokumisa Congo
2 Ngai Muana ya Adele
3 Nakomi revoquee
4 Cadi-jiji
5 Mobali-Liboso
6 Liteya ya tata
7 Tu silencio
8 Camarade Mabe
9 Bantous de la Capitale
10 Albert Akeyi

    Right up there with the very best the Congos have ever produced – the clarinet and horns of Essous and Nino are just sublime. Many thanks for sharing these historic and wonderful recordings from MamboPete

    Hi Moos. I’m hoping that leaving a note in an old post will still get to you.

    I’m so pleased you’ve regained your motivation after the disappointments of having your files deleted. You and perhaps another 10 blogs are world treasures, and we would all be poorer without you.

    The reason I’m writing here is because I wish to request you add this album (Orch Bantous merveilles) to your ‘sooner’ list for re-up. I know you’ve got a mountain to do, but I so desire to hear this. Mick from Oz
