Sam Mangwana sings Dino Vangu
Stern’s Music 2000

There are some who say that Congolese rumba – lovely, graceful
and charming though it was in the good old days – is now a faded
relic of the past. But they haven’t heard this album. Two veterans
of those good old days – guitarist and songwriter Dino Vangu and
singer Sam Mangwana – have re-united to show that their beloved
rumba is alive and well, and still as beautiful and
invigorating as ever. (liner notes)

  1. I do like this album. Even the putamayo release (around the same time if I’m not mistaken) testifies to his special Angolan take on Congolais rumba. Always a special warmth in his voice and the Franco collaborations and African Allstar period was exemplary. Can’t go wrong here.

  2. I remember looking for this years ago and couldn’t find it. It’s worth the wait, thanks for sharing!

  3. THANK YOU!! I’ve been wanting to hear this one for a while. Sam’s voice is legendary, at any age. And Monsieur Dinu Philippe Vangu is a very fine guitarist & songwriter, even if he does stand in the shadow of Docteur Nico.
