Kwassa Kwassa - Kanda Bongo Man

Kanda Bongo Man revolutionised modern soukous by stripping down the slow vocal introduction of traditional rumba and fast-forwarding directly into high-octane sebenes. Partnering with virtuoso guitarist Diblo Dibala, tracks like Sai and the buoyant title cut showcase blistering, treble-heavy arpeggios that skip playfully across syncopated hi-hats, setting dancefloors ablaze from Paris to Kinshasa.
