'Pure, undiluted real raw Zaiko. New wave punk rumba - potent
and kicking Straight No Chaser
'Edgy guitars weave and dribble, bass lines bubble...plenty to
admire in the vocal department too' Vox
'Intoxication aplenty' Village Voice USA
In 1970
a group of high-school students from KInshasa inaugurated the 'new
wave' of Congo-Zairean popular music which became known to the
world as soukous.
Zaiko Langa Langa set a new direction for the hottest dance music
in Africa, weaving their magic through voice, rhythm and and mesmerising
guitars. In 1976 they brought their dynamic act to Ghana where they
recorded some of their most enduring hits. More than just an historic
collection this album is a celebration of the best in energising
dance music.
