overleed afgelopen zaterdag tijdens een optreden in Abidjan op
66 jarige leeftijd. Hij kwam tijdens zijn carriere diverse malen in
opspraak, onder andere wegens mensensmokkel. Papa wemba’s
echte naam was Jules Shungu Wembadio Pene Kikumba. Hij was
een van de oprichters van Zaïko Langa Langa..

On Disco Stock we’ve got this slice of cavacha by Viva la Musica.

Het is geen rumba, het is geen soukous, cavacha met z’n
zachte snelle drums is een heerlijke stijl. Subtiele gitaartjes
en rustige vocalen, de Hi-Fives laten het ons nog eens goed
smaken. Mis dit niet, download en geniet..

It is no rumba, it is no soukous, cavacha with its swift soft
drums is a delightful style. Subtle guitar work en quiet vocals,
the Hi-Fives give us a good taste of the stuff. Do not miss it.
From 1975 on the great Pathé Marconi label..

Twee van de nummers zijn geschreven door Djuna Djanana,
een door Yenga Yenga en drie door Koffi Olomide. De cavacha
op dit album is uit 1978 en rockt er lekker op los. Nog zo’n elpee
uit de ‘african 360.00 serie’ die nog ontbrak. Dit is je kans..

Two of the songs were written by Djuna Djanana, one by Yenga
Yenga and three by Koffi Olomide. The cavacha on this album is
from 1978 and rocks firmly. Another record from the ‘african
360.000 series’ that was still missing. get it while you can..

It must have been around 1981, the release of this album
I mean, taken the popularity of the syn-drum. It didn’t take
very long before the whole world got tired with it but here
we are still in the phase in which it was hot to use them.
It is slightly disturbing if you want but it’s also funny to
hear the stuff again. Nuff said, Shama-Shama was in-
troduced to me thru this album on the African label. I fell
in love with the voice of Mopera Wa Maloba straight
away. Warm cavacha sound you don’t want
to miss, get it & spread it..
