The Voice of Lightness Vol.2: Tabu Ley
Tabu Ley Rochereau
Released:
Nov 2010
Label:
Sterns
There's probably not a more accurately named collection out there. If anybody was the voice of lightness, it was Rochereau, the madly prolific Congolese singer and self-promoter who seemed able to pull joy out of thin air and commit it to wax repeatedly. Volume 2 captures Rochereau at a time when the "lightness" often flees: He's approaching middle age, and the age of crappy synthesizers is approaching Africa. Yet Rochereau transcends it all, sustaining dance tracks that extend to 10 minutes or more, his voice calling out over the beautiful simmer of Congolese guitar. Listen and get healed.
