1982 collaboration between Franco Luambo Makiadi, the renowned guitarist from Rumba Congolaise, and Sam Mangwana, the singer who was also a member of the Orchestre T.P.O.K. Jazz. The highlights include inimitable guitar work sharp yet warm characteristic of the pre-digital era, along with the high-tenor vocals, layered with a horn section and rich backing vocals, all creating a tropical and pleasant groove. We particularly recommend the two tracks on the B-side: "Faute Ya Commerçant," which boasts a light, quirky groove that’s sure to get your body moving, and "Zala Sportif," which delivers a smooth, funky rhythm. The vinyl is in excellent, NM condition.
ルンバ・コンゴレーズの名ギタリストFranco Luambo MakiadiとOrchestre T.P.O.K. Jazzのメンバーとしても活躍した名シンガーSam Mangwanaによる82年の共作。デジタル化される前の鋭くも温かみのある唯一無二のギターワーク、ハイテナー・ボーカル、そこに重なるホーンセクションと分厚いコーラスワークがトロピカルで心地よいグルーヴが聴き所。中でも身体がうずくような軽やかでひとくせあるグルーブが展開される”Faute Ya Commerçant”と心地よいファンキーグルーヴを奏でる”Zala Sportif”のB面の2曲を当店としては推し。名作。盤面超良好の美品です。
