Title: BACK WHEN PERCUSSION WAS A BIG DEAL
Post by: Congomusiclover001 on April 08, 2016, 16:55

I drive 30 min to work everyday and this song came on in my selection and I have to say in 30 years of listening to congolese music this song is one of the fewest that has a deep impact on percussion. Albeit old, it still has a good vibe on which soukous music was based. The drums, the shaker, the subtle mbonda, complemented by a wicked bass line and solo made this song stand out in the soukous music era. A crisp audio version of Cindy will make your head to the bass drum  :D :D :D

Anyone knows who the soloist is?

It is one of the best song I have ever heard everything was perfect, maybe the only thing that should be changed is the dancers, I mean you can't dress dancer like some Low Field Prostitute from Paris
