1974 single by Congolese rumba band Orchestra T.P.O.K. Jazz, active since the 1950s. This is also known as the first recording of guitarist Diblo Dibala, who earned the nickname "Machine Gun" due to his fast playing. Side A features "Elidjo Motema," which starts off with a gentle rhythm, electric guitar, percussion, and soft vocals, then picks up speed, while side B features "Fidu," a lively rumba number with a gentle, cheerful vibe. Both are good tune. Both the record and the jacket are in generally good condition.
50年代より活動するコンゴのルンババンドOrchestre T.P.O.K. Jazzによる74年のシングル盤。その早弾きからマシンガンの異名を取るギタリストDiblo Dibalaの初レコーディング作品としても知られる一枚。A面では緩やかなリズムにエレクトリックギター、パーカッション、たおやかなヴォーカルの序盤からスピードを増していく”Elidjo Motema”、B面では優しく陽気なバイブスが小気味いいルンバ・ナンバー”Fidu”を収録。どちらもいいです。盤、ジャケとも概ね良好なコンディションです。
A - Elidjo Motema
B - Fidu
