l’Afrique Danse avec l’Orchestre Bella-Bella & Soki Vangu,african 360.093, 1976

Orchestre Bella Bella, front, cd size

When I saw this video at Youtube, I knew what to post today.
Orchestre Bella Bella & Soki Vangu. What a great match.
Both record and video are very nice, I love the way those four
up front are dancing, completely loose. Pure joy to
see and hear this group perform, feast upon this.

PS the last track sounds quite crispy although it
looks brandnew, track 4 same thing, looks perfect but
seems to jump a couple of times. Maybe it’s the recording.

tracks;

1 Pambi ndoni
2 Yakani
3 Mea culpa
4 Nzingi zong
5 Zamba
6 Nakomi moto

    I can’t believe this. I was also on youtube listening to Bella Bella music (most of which are re-issues that have sections chopped off), I was thinking “If only I had the full versions of this songs!!!”, I log into global groove and what do I get?

    Thanks a million Moos!

    Thanks Moos. Soki Vangu and his Orchestre Bella Bella were key players in Congolese music in the mid-1970s. The music speaks for itself, and it still claims a vast chunk of air play in East African, rivalled only by Orchestre Lipua Lipua, Kamale, Fuka Fuka, Kiam and Vévé. Yes Moos, you’ve understood what the people want. Needless to say, I’ll stay tuned. Have a good weekend.

    Is this from an LP? The metadata track #s are not the same as in the post.
