What&#8217;s most interesting to me about Crammed&#8217;s Congotronics bands, Konomo No. 1 and the Kasai All-Stars, plus their compatriots Staff Benda Bilili, is that they&#8217;re for real.
When you read an intro like &#8220;a group of Congolese street musicians fronted by four eldery, disabled men in wheelchairs and backed by formerly abandoned street kids&#8221; or &#8220;an [...]]]></description>

I was in Brussels last weekend for the 3-day Couleur Café music festival.  It was my third Couleur Café &#8211; it&#8217;s becoming a bit of a tradition.
If you&#8217;ve never been you should definitely check it out next year.  I think the venue is changing in a couple years, so next year will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A belated dewenati / happy new year to everyone.  
After a month-long break Benn loxo is back.  I hope you all had a nice holiday season.
Lately I&#8217;ve been reading a great book by Gary Stewart, Rumba on the River.  It covers the history of 20th century Congolese popular music on both sides [...]]]></description>

Tabu Ley Rochereau was born Pascal Emmanuel Sinamoyi Tabou in Belgian Congo in 1940.  [...]]]></description>

A Benn loxo listener suggested that I have a listen to a new collection of Dar Es Salaam star Maestro King Kiki&#8217;s rumba from the 70s and 80s, Maestro of Tanzania.
It&#8217;s a great collection.  My only gripe is the production quality; so much of what is going [...]]]></description>

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&#8217;t found it yet. [...]]]></description>

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&#8217;s played with many greats over the years, and [...]]]></description>

I first saw them in Paris two and half years ago, then again at the Couleur Café that summer.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s something really sexy about the word &#8216;rumba&#8217;.  It&#8217;s also a bit of a misnomer in that over the years it came to represent a variety of Cuban-influenced musical styles popular across Africa, not all of them &#8216;rumba&#8217; in its original sense.
While the heart of rumba was in the country-formerly-known-as-Zaire, there were many great [...]]]></description>
