Wenge BCBG question

[David N.]

I just picked up a copy of a Wenge Musica B.C.B.G. release called
"Pleins Feux !!!" This is an absolutely great CD, sounds much like the
"Les Anges Adorables" CDs that came out in 1994, but...
Does anyone knoew the release date on this one? Thanks!

I believe its 2-3 years old, and I heard (probably here in
alt.music.african)
that it was basically mixes of outtakes. It is one of the last Wenge
albums with
Alain Makaba on it.

Anyway, I'll dig it out again. I seem to remember quite liking it.

Now, is there any new interesting congolese music out there? MP3's anyone?

Can't get the stuff in this cultural desert.

Regards

Thank you, Tim.
I don't know much about MP3s, but I can recommend a cople of newer CDs
that I like a lot:
Zaiko Langa Landa Universel "Etumba Ya La Vie"
Koffi Olomide's "Force De Frappe"
Stino Mube & Reddy Amisi's "Fin D'Exil"
Manda Chante "Bouclage" is excellent
Anti Choc De Bozi Boziana "Position Eyebani" (don't know how new)
Guy Guy Fall "Force De Frappe"
Defao's "Nessy De London" also excellent
Wemba's "Ya Biso Moko"
King Kester Emeneya's double CD "Longue Histoire" is well worth the
trouble to find.

Yeah, got that one.

OK, I did vow several years ago I had enough Koffi albums but maybe in
desperate
times I should try it.

Hmmm, will try and track that down. Any Viva la Musica input?

Well, that will have to be a special order or trip to London I am sure.
