Summary: Mbongo mpenda muziki
Comment: What else can you ask more?this is the height of Remmy or as we call him dr.Remmy!anyone who knows his music will agree with me.He is not only just a musician but also a story teller;in his songs,Remmy tries to tell a story of an ordinary mwananchi(mlalahoi)socially and politically.Super matimila has dozens of songs but unforturnally very few has been put on cd...And it is not true that his english songs are weak as one user mentioned above,please note that, he is native speaker of lingala na swahili if you can't understand him in those two languages; then you can't get the real message....

Summary: My first Ongala disappointment
Comment: I thought this was one of Ongala's original recordings to remind me of 'good old days' growing up along the lake shores of western Kenya. It turns out this is Ongala renditioning some of his old popular songs in the English language. Comes out as artistically weak and unoriginal in my opinion. However, if you never knew Ongala's work of the 80s, or are not a diehard fan of authenticity you may actually find this CD enjoyable.

Summary: Stunning
Comment: This is a superb album for people or all musical tastes. The singing is polished and soulful. The rhythm section is exciting and compelling. But the guitar playing, in particular, is quite wonderful -- enormously complex and sophisticated, but also beautifully musical and melodic. If you like the music of Central and East Africa, you'll love this. If you've only heard West African performers, this will open a new world to you. If you've not had much experience with contemporary African sounds, this would be a great place to jump in. Get two copies, coz you'll wear the first one out!
