Imagine driving on a cold, wet day. Imagine driving in warm summer sunshine. This is the kind of up-tempo, feel-good music that can make your day feel just a little better. Very accessible to non-African ears, with well-honed delivery and lyrical plugged-in guitar. Every car CD-changer should hold music like this to ooze along to. Only one small niggle - the band can't resist namechecking itself on several tracks.

I saw this band, and the sheer enthusiasm and love for what they're doing was so infectious that i'd have bought ten albums if they'd made that many.
This is prefectly-executed Congolese rumba, with good musiciannship and the vocals provided by a four-man ensemble all with distinctive character-filled voices.
The melodies are catchy, the musicianship precise (particularly the lilting clarinet), and it's just so wonderfully uplifting that it's hard to believe that the woman on the front cover is supposed to be crying because life's so hard in the Congo

The best acoustic African Congolese album of the century
8 Nov 2003
Format:Audio CD
Kékélé is a star studded Congolese band with vocalists Wuta-Mayi, Nyboma, Bumba Massa, and Loko Massengo with Syran Mbenza playing the acoustic guitar. The sound here is stunning, and the orchestration perfect, including beautifully layered acoustic guitars by Syran and Rigo Star, some tasty accordion spicing from Regis Gizavo of Madagascar, and on some tunes, an all-clarinet horn section (played by Caçau de Queiroz), harking back to the early days of Congolese rumba.
The violins on Loko Massengo's "Bebe Yaourt" is a revelation that this instrument marries well with the smooth vocals of Kékélé. "Souvenirs-OK-Jazz," a Medley of Franco hits is the final drop that spills the bucket of sweetness, it just becomes too much.
Kekele is to music what Real Madrid is to football.

Some of the sweetest, liveliest music in the world
11 Aug 2007
Format:Audio CD
If you like the rhythms of salsa, but not the frenetic speed, you will probably enjoy these Congolese playing, singing, and dancing "Rumba". Intriguing rhythms, and always happy, upbeat; almost impossible not to smile and start moving to it..
How the Congo in the midst of all its struggle and strife, managed to come up with these folks, and many others like them, is a miracle that I am very grateful for, but do not understand.

Joyful sounds

I'm always surprised and delighted that people who have endured such hardship (political and economic) can produce music so full of joy. When I listen to Kekele, I find myself moving to the rhythm without thinking.
This cd is an especially good selection of songs. If you enjoy this CD, by all means listen to "Rhumba Congo." No doubt, you'll be dancing too!
