A Paris - Tabu Ley Rochereau & Afrisa International

Recorded during Rochereau's historic breakthrough concerts at the Paris Olympia, this landmark recording captures Congolese rumba modernising for international audiences. Afrisa International's horn section blazes with soul-jazz precision, but it is the fluid, melodic interplay of lead guitarist Attel Mbumba that anchors songs like Silikani. The guitars dance around Rochereau's silky, operatic tenor with effortless Parisian panache.
