		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Ooh.. a big package from Stern&#8217;s arrived yesterday.
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>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we&#8217;ll hear some more good Kenyan music from the Orchard re-release collection on eMusic.  This time it&#8217;s a little later, a mid-70s recording by Kenyan rumba star, Habel Kifoto.
Initially a member of the famous &#8220;military band&#8221;, Maroon Commandos, Habel Kifoto released a bunch of solo tracks as well.  Benn loxo friend, Steve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TPOK veteran Antoine Nedule Montswet was born on Christmas day so he always went by the name Noel.  As his status as one of the Congolese rumba generation&#8217;s greatest guitarists grew he made the switch to Papa Noel.  
Noel was Franco&#8217;s right-hand man right up until Franco&#8217;s death in 1989.  Along with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really don't know much about Mango Negro Kwala-Kwa except that they were a popular rumba group in Congo Brazzaville during the late 60s and early 70s.  Today's track is from 1972 and is apparently their most famous release.  Even if you're not into it at the beginning be sure to listen until the 3rd minute - there's a great snare beat that kicks in, making this song particularly original and infectuous.]]></description>
