Wendo Kolosoy, Rumbanella Band, Victoria Bakolo Miziki,
Antoine Moudanda & Likembé Géant and others.
Recorded in Abidjan at the Studio JBZ in 1997 and in 1999 , in Kinshasa at Studio Meko in 2002, this double CD is the ultimate testimonial to the golden age of one of the most beautiful music genres that stemmed from the African continent at the dawn of the independences.
Two great historical figures of rumba, Wendo Kolosoy –a child of Kinshasa– and Antoine Moundanda –hailing from Brazzaville on the other side of the Congo River- along with Victoria Bakolo Miziki, Likembe Geant and the Rumbanella Band reinterpret the cultural heritage of the two Congolese capital cities with passion and talent.
With its suave voices, elegant guitars, sensual melodies and light swing, the rumba is to Africa what the son is to Cuba: a miracle of balance.
