Mamou: VINTAGE RUMBA from O.K. Jazz star Malage de Lugendo

THIS IS THE BEST OF CONGOLESE RUMBA! That's Lokassa ya Mbongo himself behind Malage...Ngouma Lokito is on bass...Shiko Mawatu playing lead guitar, Isaac Katalayi on drums, Mbuta Masamba on congas. It's late on a Saturday night at African Stand in Newark, New Jersey (about 20-minutes from midtown Manhattan New York City). The Congolese, Kenyan, Tanzanian, Nigerian, Cameroonian and American crowd is in the mood, and one of Congo's greatest vocalists has come to town... Malage de Lugendo has flown in from Belgium and he is tired - he came straight from the airport to sing this gig! But wow can he sing... Rumba newbies can learn more about this music at africambiance.org and at tribes.tribe.net/soukousguitar
