Meet Afro Soul Singer, Sheryl Gambo

A few weeks ago my father received a press kit in the mail for upcoming Congo-Brazzaville soul artist, Sheryl Gambo. It came with a cd entitled Lemo Yassa. On January 17, Guy played a few songs off of this LP. My favorite tracks are 'Pour Un Petit Rein', 'Elika', 'Mwana Nzesi' & 'Esali Soni'.
Last December she was interviewed by African Loft. Read the interview here: Sheryl Gambo - Congolese Afro Soul Diva on Afro Loft

See her perform her single "Essi Dia" Live:

Awilo Longomba

First time I ever heard of Awilo Longomba was in the late 90s. I forget where she got it from but my mother had a VHS tape of Awilo Longomba's "Coupe' Bibamba". I didn't know until today that this was a duet with Jocelyne Béroard of Kassav. Anyway, I really liked the song, although found his 'rapping' to be rather amusing at certain points. I was able to appreciate it. I didn't think anything of the song for a long time as it wouldn't be until a few years ago that I would explore Congolese music. Today I listened to a few tracks off of his July 2008 release "Super man" and decided to look him up. Come to find out his father was the lead singer and founder of Le Tout Puissant OK Jazz. Read more about him here:

It took me a while but I'm a fan. Especially after watching a few of his videos. He has some really great upbeat party music. I love it. He even has a remix to Pamelo Mounka's "L'argent Apelle L'argent" that he performs with singer Barbara Kanam (I need to find out who she is. I feel so behind haha). Watch these videos. Last night's episode of Tambour d'Afrique will be up soon...
