1983 release by Orchestre Stukas, a Zillian Afro Band that includes Lita Bembo, who has also produced excellent solo works. Featuring 4 extended soukous tracks rooted in rumba, with elements of tropical and cosmic feeling. Particularly recommend track A2, "Kaba Santer" featuring a fluid progression and impassioned choral work in the middle section, and track B1 "Cherie-Konga" which blends a floating guitar-driven sound with a spiritual vibe. The record is in good visual condition and plays good, but feel some surface noise at some parts. The jacket is in good categoly with no issue.

ソロ作でも良作を残すLita Bemboも所属するザイリアン・アフロ・バンドOrchestre Stukasによる83年作。ルンバを基本にトロピカルやコズミックに通じる長尺のスークース全4曲。特に流れるような展開に熱い中盤のコーラスワークが最高なA2”Kaba Santer”と浮遊するギターを中心とした音色とスピリチュアル感覚が交差するようなB1”Cherie-Konga”はオススメ。盤面見た目良好ですがチリパチする印象。ジャケットは良好な部類です。
