As a result of the fruitful encounter between Dizzy Mandjeku and Alé Kumá, here is their first album, “De Palenque à Matongé”. A sparkling music blend of Afro-Colombian and Congolese rhythms , two musical traditions that have been travelling back and forth between the New world and the African motherland.
Description
Uplifting, resilient, and brimming with energy. – Pieter Franssen
It’s party music, though there are also more intimate moments, such as Si Me Miraras, Morena, where light Afro-Cuban influences emerge, adding a sultrier tone amidst the numerous fiery, exhilarating, and danceable compositions like Tengo Un Dolor. The album’s strength lies in its superb ensemble playing, with fantastic interaction among musicians who all excel and give each other room to shine. The result is a wonderfully rich, lush, and swinging album that leaves a lasting impression. Bonus points for the beautiful artwork and for the translation of the lyrics. – Philippe De Cleen
