Sentiment Awa - Zaïko Langa Langa

Zaïko Langa Langa were the Kinshasa youth band of the 1970s, dropping the horn sections of the older orchestras and leaning on guitars and a driving snare pattern called cavacha. That makes the guitars even more central than in classic rumba: several of them interlock and swap roles as the tempo and intensity shift. Choose it to hear the generation that bridged the old rumba and modern soukous.
