I know we have a lot of Pépé Kallé fans in our little
Groovers community. Today’s post concerns an album
from 1985 by the man with his buddy’s Papy Tex and Dilu.
Greetings from Ma Ngoundi at Brazzaville, enjoy..

tracks;

1 Trop, cést trop
2 Na koboya ye te
3 Drame
4 Mille baisers

To complete the series, the third and final part. I am not the first
to post them ( 2+3 ) but a series like this one deserves to find it’s way to
you as much as possible. Personally, I think this number 3 is just
too good to be true, one track more beautiful than the other.
Verckys’ sensual saxophone captures me again and again, did
he participate in some of the other songs aswell, or is it just my
imagination ? Anyway, do not hesitate and get them while you can.

1 Franco & l’O.K. Jazz – Beyos
2 Kongo Vox – Mabala ya ndenge ya kala

tracks;

1 Bandake mboka
2 Charlotte

On Sacodis, Lassissi Présente ‘Bopol Mansiamina’.
If you speak of guitar driven, Bopol Mansiamina as a
string magician guarantees just that. His music
stands firm as a house and rocks on and on. Co-produced
by Bopol himself, the man knew what he was doing. Sacodis’
info is very poor and the backsleeve gives no names at all.
Come on connaisseurs of Congolese music, who are the
other players on this album ? Syran probably,
who else ? I’m sure some of you know..

tracks;

1 Mariage forcé
2 Yenga yenga
3 Kale ye ngangu
4 Ye… a bouger

André Pamomiel had a lot of response at the GG, here’s
another one with André doing lead vocals. He is not
the only one though, Kanda Bongo Man takes care of his part
aswell. With Master Mwana Congo on solo guitar, I’m all ears.

tracks;

1 Na pona
2 Raka yo
3 Na bala mosusu
4 Qu’est ce qu’on attend

I never heard anything by Andre Pamomiel untill this record.
I got interested reading the names of Mpassi Jo, Ringo Star
and Jean-Serge Essous. After hearing it there was no way
back. It would find it’s way to you sooner or later. Great
material for a little thursdaynight dance,
get this happy stuff while you can..

tracks;

1 Tedy na nga
2 Na zangui mobali
3 Horoscope
4 Caro na ponton
