Format:Audio CD
This CD was my first in a rapidly growing collection of Africn Music. The styles are varied and the music accessible, leaving the listener wanting to investigate much much more. For those who like to explore music, but haven't tried this route, this is the place to start!

I was recently introduced to Papa Wemba by a friend who worked in Africa.. I never thought I would be interested ......... or like this sort of music...... hey I was wrong.... superb!

Fun, sometimes funny, Afro-pop
21 Aug 1999
Format:Audio CD
If you enjoy the music of other Afro-pop stars that have risen to popularity lately (i.e., Baaba Maal, Youssou N'Dour), you'll enjoy Papa Wemba.
This disc is a popsy blend of African rhythms, guitars, and wailing vocals, and the charisma and style of Papa Wemba is infectious and entertaining. Just don't expect anything too deep from this album.

Charming, Accessible, and if this doesn't make you wanna dance...
17 May 2006
Format:Audio CD
then you must have forgotten how to!
This was my first album from Papa Wemba and even though a listen to his other works makes one think this is kind of a distillation of more variety-- what's extracted is still pretty pure to ear and pretty likeable to the feet.
The songs here are so polished you will think you have heard them somewhere before on the first listen... and that will make you think that there might be some higher plane of music that we all have access to on a subconscious level but that few of us can play in the studio. Papa Wemba can.

Emotion-by Papa Wemba
16 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
I love African and South American music. I cannot find these kinds of music in my country but on my travels, I try to find them through music shops, festivals and through Amazon or Putumayo and other organisations promote world music. Of all my collection of African music, "Emotion" is a beautiful, touching and heart rending rythm of modern, contemporary African music. My children (one is two and the other five years old) and I love to listen and dance to this CD. When I am alone, I play it and watch the sun sets over my balcony.
