Tonight, my fellow groovers, I am asking for your help on
a matter. While recording this LP I discovered a mistake.
Track 4 is obviously ‘Aziza’ instead of track 3. I am assuming
the titles on side-b have been switched around but I’m not 100 %
sure. Track 1 is titled correctly to my opinion, I think to hear the
name in the music. Maybe track 2 and track 3 are still wrong.
Can you give us your view on the case ? Good,
than we can sit and enjoy these four
jiving songs, check…

tracks;

1 Lukoli
2 Awela-awela
3 Decca
4 Aziza

Let’s do another one by these guys. Zaïko Langa-Langa
is represented by quite some LP’s already here but we
can’t have them enough.

tracks;

1 S.V.P. Mbey
2 Mathi ya ilo
3 Mupepa somo
4 Paiement cash

Good evening groovers, after some very busy days, I
finally found some time to do a little blogging. I know
most of you visitors, like myself, are lovers of soukous
and Pépé Kalle is one of the genres finest interpreters.
This 1992 production sounds awesome and will make
you wanna move y’r lazy bones as they
never did before..

tracks;

1 Divisé par deux
2 Monano
3 Soso ya tongo
4 Mama leki ndaya
5 Mabele riche
6 Retroviseur

Your patience as follower of Congolese music is rewarded again
today. What can I say ? Pépé Kallé and Papy Tex are plain heroes.
Pépé Kallé for his huge voice, and Papy Tex was responsible for
composing this stuff. 6 magnificent tracks from 1992, and they sang
‘m with passion. Damn,..I’m a sucker for this sound, how ’bout you ?

tracks;

1 Muinto
2 Mamie
3 Ibetibi
4 Musique clarification
5 Adieu Leya
6 Sinitia

tracks;

1 Aï aï aï
2 Amundala
3 Ngulupa
4 Le chemin de la vie
5 Emine

From 1989 we have this LP on Afro Rythmes. Pépé Kallé
is here with some hot soukous, the up-tempo dance material
just like you’re used to. Ideal for your summer evening party.

tracks;

1 Cé chalé carnaval
2 Djoni bitoto
3 Tiembe raid pa moli
4 Ndako ya zeke

Can you deal with straight up soukous, the type that makes
your feet want to move all the time, there’s no holding back
with this stuff. I guess early ninetees material with a line-up
that makes your mouth water,..only for experienced listeners.

tracks;

1 Vengi
2 Mati
3 Jane Otiemo
4 Se yo maman
5 Icha
6 Zembi
7 Kayifi
8 Manuela
9 Ye kilesa
10 Dialo

We all know some tight soukous, that’s for sure, but this
LP which was organised by Diblo Dibala is truly smashing.
With the great Lokassa ya Mbongo on rhythm guitars and
Diblo himself doing the solo-parts. Fantastic guitars and
Pépé’s fantastic voice to round it all up, I love it.
Hope U do too..

tracks;

1 L’argent ne fait pas le bonheur
2 Bolimbisa
3 Ami ya bomuana
4 Vengi
5 Famo
6 Famo (instrumental)

Bopol Mansiamina, Syran Mbenza, Sam Mangwana,
Theo Blaise, 4 names you can’t ignore when read on
the cover of one LP. This one is from 1987 and that’s
exactly how it sounds, typical eighties soukous with
some of the world’s greatest. Enjoy.

tracks;

1 Sambela
2 Africa diaspora
3 Reviens Moussa
4 Marie Jeanne
5 Mokili

To stir up your friday night with dazzeling funkiness, soukous
like you haven’t heard much before. Pépé Kallé’s Empire
Bakuba outstrips it’s self on this 1985 LP, the album has
a certain magic. It is different, groovy, just the thing for you.

tracks;

1 Kabambare
2 La terre sainte
3 Mwana-Gabon
4 Il n’y a pas de sots métiers
