Big Noise: A Mambo Inn Compilation
(1994)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
This is the first compilation album from the Mambo Inn, London's pioneering world music club. At times the music is far-reaching in its coverage of areas of the world, although all tracks are made to be extremely danceable. There is a definite leaning toward the Latin sound (ahead of the current "Latin wave"), with a number of mambos and the like. ...

Soukous in Central Park
(1993)
more music like this
by
Kanda Bongo Man
The Man's Central Park gig pretty much sums up the pros and cons of contemporary big-name soukous. It dances on non-stop with the idiom's patented driving prettiness, beguiling as all-get-out but without peaks and valleys, in a steady-state hyper-competence that never sags but never builds. These guys can play endlessly without effort or attention ...

Amour Fou
(1988)

by
Kanda Bongo Man
In part because he believes in keeping his groups down to a reasonable sound, Kanda Bongo Man's recordings all have something of the feel of the great pre-soukous period of Zairian music. Fad-hounds will be interested, and many others relieved, to note further evidence that the disco-bomp that has recently shackled Zairian rhythm sections is on ...

African Ambience
(1998)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
While the emphasis is on the music of Zaire, this disc does come close to meeting the promise of its subtitle as the "ultimate African dance party." It's hard to quibble with the irresistible beats of King Sunny Ade and Franco & Rochereau. There are fine grooves throughout, so get moving. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide
