Anything by this colossus very welcome indeed even if there’s a little crossover of tracks from time to time. I don’t speak much lingala but it is a lovely language sung. The music is universal and timeless however. Thanks for your sleuthing Moos.
..crossover of tracks .. ?
Moos, Thanks for Kale’s posts. I loved the videos and all the history.
I mean different releases
on different labels containing some of the same songs. Not this album specifically but then I have trouble remembering some long lingala titles. It sometimes happens on “classic” or “historic” music in the public domain. It often happens after an artist is deceased but what else is new. Kabasele lives on irregardless. I should mention the propensity for bootlegging or piracy in the best continent for music on the planet. That is a shame but hardly surprising.
ah.. right,
that can always happen .
Naloba nini? Kallé akei mobesu…
What can I say? Kallé left too early.
Thank you for keeping his work alive for us to hear, Moos.
You’re very welcome Luisiane ..
I love this Moos. Wonderful early sides, thank you so much.
Pete
