Sam Mapangala & Orchestre Virunga Virunga Volcano

Another classic collection of great African music. SAMBA MAPANGALA took his skills as a musician from Zaire to East Africa in the 70's and finally settled in Kenya, where he became a big hit. These tracks were developed and recorded by his group ORCHESTRE VIRUNGA in the early 80's, and all hum with creative energy. Complementing the rich vocals of SAMBA and FATAKI are some sublime guitar licks from various master guitarists and a bubbling bass. Check out LAWI SOMANA'S solo on AHMED SABIT, which teases the senses so exquisitely, and helps make this track a classic. Another noticeable feature of the album is the jazzy horn section. A1 Malako 9:03 A2 Ahmed Sabit 9:21 B1 Virunga 8:55 B2 Yembele 10:08 A later CD release added 2 bonus tracks, this is from an original 1st press of the 1990 Earthwork UK release.
