This is a gorgeous collection of some of the finest African pop ever recorded, combining the otherworldly, angelic voice of Congolese singer M´bilia Bel with the buoyant, cheerful rhythms of her then-husband, bandleader Tabu Ley Rocherau.

2) Audio CD Music Bel Canto: Best of the Genidia Years (Congo Classics 1982-1987) by Stern´s Africa. I just had to break down and write my first review after coming across this compilation! Mbilia Bel has a luscious, creamy voice that floats along over propulsive, poly-rhythmic dance music. I fell in love with her and this sound in the late 1980s and am happy to hear from these slightly muddy samples that a good half of these tunes are not included on the four or five CDs of hers from that period that I managed to turn up every now and again in the pre-internet era. I don´t understand a word of the lyrics, but the joyful vibe is utterly irresistible. This is going right into the shopping cart. Do stop and listen, and enjoy.

Also: Stern´s distributes a huge selection of amazing African and world music. If you´ve been despairing to hear new and worthwhile sounds, do check them out!¤
