Seigneur Tabu Ley Rochereau
Face a Face
Out of Africa 1991

His style changed quite a bit over the years. I think this
1991 album with Rochereau is maybe not his very best
work. Considering the man’s complete oeuvre we owe
him to listen to all his work. Face a Face, made in the
nineties, sounds like the nineties. Synthesized and
quite modern we see a lot of unfamiliar names. To me
only singer Faya Tess and guitarist Dizzy Mandjeku
ring bells. An addition to Tabu Ley’s discography ..

Zijn stijl veranderde behoorlijk door de jaren. Ik denk
dat dit niet zijn allersterkste werk is, maar in het licht
van zijn complete oeuvre zijn we Rochereau verschuldigd
naar alles te luisteren. Face a Face uit 1991 klinkt ook echt
jaren 90. Gesynthetiseerd en tamelijk modern, een album
met veel onbekende namen. Alleen zangeres Faya Tess en
gitarist Dizzy Mandjeku doen bij mij belletjes rinkelen.
Voeg toe aan Tabu Ley’s discografie ..

    Another great production made in Brussels.

    One of my favourites: Sax Matalanza of Franco OK Jazz & 4 Etoiles: Le Mbula Matari.

    May not be up to his usual standards but what an oeuvre. Thanks Moos for your dedication, passion and sharing your eclectic collection.

      Hey Jillem, wat mooi om jou hier te vinden,je wordt
      echt enorm gemist in ons aller blogsphere hoor.
      Deze plaat met de Zaïko jongens wordt zeer gewaardeerd.
      Ik weet tamelijk zeker dat ik hem in het verleden heb
      gepost. Weer zo’n plaat die door blogger is verwijderd
      zonder boodschap achter te laten. Goed dat jij hem brengt.
      Beste Jillem, stuur me eens een mailtje op
      moos@globalgroovers.com
      Ik zou graag met je communiceren als je dat goed vindt ..
