2000 release. Sam Mangwana, whose long, illustrious career began with Orchestre African Fiesta in the 1960s and Franco's Orchestre T.P.O.K. Jazz in the '70s, and continued with his own bands and solo projects, will forever rank among the greatest Congolese singers. For this album, which The Beat named Album of the Year in 2000, Mangwana partnered with Dino Vangu, the Congolese guitarist and composer best known for his tenure in Tabu Ley Rochereau's fabulous band. Their collaboration is a loving revival of the graceful and charming Congolese rumba of their youth.
