Lubamba

Description

Sam Mangwana embodies the golden age of Congolese rumba. A giant among giants, a legend among legends, Sam Mangwana, 75 years old, now embodies the golden age of Congolese rumba all by himself. A champion of Pan-Africanism, like a contemporary witness of the great era of independence, Sam Mangwana only awaits one thing: to make all generations dance, as in the dances of yesteryear, to the sound of these 8 tracks, whether sung in Portuguese, French, Kikongo, or Lingala. Lubamba, his latest album, is a final proof that emotion and commitment have no age limit. We will also discover at the opening the track "Juventude Actual" where Sam is accompanied by another legend of African music, Manu Dibango. A very nice clip shot by Wasis Diop will echo this on December 9.
