Jean Serge Essous & Nino Malapet
Les Meilleurs Sax’s d’Afrique Centrale
Editions Bakolo Mboka
The best saxophones in central Africa, that’s how they call
Jean Serge Essous and Nino Malapet on this fine LP. They
also claim to play the best African interpretation of ‘the Peanut Vender”,
‘el Manicero’, quite an assumption. I don’t know if it’s the best
one but I love the guitars that play the basic melody. So many
versions around. check out Isabelle by Pambou Tchico, golden
voice. On Editions Bakolo Mboka de Brazzaville.

Thank you very much for this gem (and all the others!). It reminds me to nights in “Club Papillon” where my Lady has teached me to move slowly and at last we have stopped the time for hours.
And I miss all the mates in soulseek, Kiembeni, zimb, channeloh, AsanteKwabena, rakoto5, and many other, to chat pages for pages during listening sweet african music. I love you, will never forget you…
