“Analengo” by Papa Wemba et L’Orchestre Viva La Musica - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1980 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1980s |

The dapper Papa Wemba was a man on a mission at this time, and the 41-year-old Congolesian, like so many of his peers, had recently re-located to Paris in an attempt to broaden the support base for his positive musical message - hold your head up, look good and dance! With a little help from Franco Luambo's Parisian circle, this LP features re-recordings of Wemba's home grown singles; “Analengo” (1980), “Aïssa Na Zoé” (1978), “Mère Supérieure” (1977) and “Ngonda”, the latter of which was written by his friend and fellow singer, Kester Emeneya. A solid offering from start to finish.
