More innovation

Orchestra Mode Succès - Innovation 4Here’s another Orchestra Mode Succès track, this time from the fourth volume of the Innovation series.

Does any have any of the other volumes? From reading the AfricanAmbiance forum it looks like there are nine in total.

I wanted to take a moment this morning to direct you to Likembe if you haven’t found it yet. John B’s African music blog is easily the best out there. His collection and depth of knowledge are impressive, plus the blog makes for a nice read. John has taught me lots and his music is consistently great. He’s helped fill me in numerous times for Benn loxo posts as well, so we can all thank him for that.

ps- thanks, Africaruge

Another nice rip

Orchestre Mode Succès - Innovation Vol. 3Ok, I lied. A post on Saturday this weekend.

Orchestre Mode Succès is a group put together by Baba Ley Assaka and Bopol Mansiamina, both Congo-Kinshasa natives.

Bopol got his start in the late 1960s with Papa Noel in the Orchestre Bamboula. He’s played with many greats over the years, and more recently did some guitar work with Ricardo Lemvo who you might have heard here before.

I’m unsure if he formed the Orchestre Mode Succès when he was still living in Congo or after he had moved to France in the early 80s. I also don’t know anything about Baba Ley Assaka. Can someone fill us in?

Anyway, today’s track comes off the album Innovation Vol. 3, produced by Lokuelo Samba. I love the guitar work on this one and the production is nice, too.

Thanks to Fabian for the music, and to the excellent African Ambiance forum and African Music Profiles sites for background info.
