5.0 out of 5 stars An African adventure you cannot miss!, 5 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Traditional African rhythms and vocals meet European beat and technology. Cut the crap, this album is fab. It sums up my holiday in Cape Town. Wild. Exhilarating. Awa Awa!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good African Album, 22 Nov 2000
By maydont@bigfoot.com (Edinburgh, Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
Written, Arranged and Produced by Deep Forest's Michel Sanchez, but performed by Camerounian Wes Madiko - this partnership works well as a great bridge between Central African sound (minus marimba) and modern western-European beat. The tracks range from the Shamanic, hypnotic jungle sounds (unmistakibly Deep Forrest-esque) to feel-good Dance tracks which have been great hits from the dance floors of Paris to the Villages around Yaounde. Give dance tracks Awa awa and Alane a listen - they "hold" the album. The rest should grow on you after a while.

If you like this album then, I recommend you have a listen to the music of Kanda Bongo Man (from the neighboring Congo), Mory Kante (Guinea) - great dance, Youssou N'Dour (Senegal), Salif Keita (Mali), Angelique Kidjo (Benin) - they are successful artists who carry a similiar feel in their music.

Although Welenga has some great tracks - it is quite raw in places which may get you listening only to the first few tracks then switching off -especially as the first few tracks are quite different to the rest of the album. However, even if it is for those first few tracks, it is worth buying this album.
