Just like every years since the release of La Main Noire by Extra musica, I could mostly find satisfying albums among the releases of Zaiko. Their DVD: Voler c'est pas bon was a great release, with good sound quality and sebens. I also liked some of Roga's new releases, like the Azur advertisement. I think is it as good as his older tunes, however the solo could be better. And (I know most of you will kill me now), I liked some 'flashes' of Hugo Synth, too, when he played in an interview with one of his singer bandmates. I think there is much potential in his attempts, provided he can keep it on the "appropriate" track. But his approach to playing the synth was a revelation of me, and as such also one of the highlights from the Congolese music scene.
