Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
On Toyebi Té, vocalist and composer Lokua Kanza from the Democratic Republic of Congo boils up a sub-Saharan sonic stew that mixes traditional African R&B and Brazilian MPB styles. The title track means "No One Knows", and the songs are delivered in a mostly acoustic vibe. With special guests ranging from the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, French rapper Passi, vocalist Julie Saar and guitarist Slyvain Luc, Kanza and company deliver some easy-on-the-ears moods and grooves. With Kanza's velvet voice singing about love, God, death and life in English, French and his native tongue lingala, especially on the cuts "Come Back To Me" and "Je N'ai Pas Choisi", this singer's brand of African-tinged world music will be heard from in the future. --Eugene Holley, Jr

4.0 out of 5 stars Ethnic Easy Listening, 4 Jul 2002
By PEF "PEF" (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews
  
I had high hopes of this album, having read excellent reviews in the press. I was a little disappointed that although the production values are high, and Lokua Kanza is clearly a talented musician with a beautiful voice, the album as a whole is a bit soft, a bit easy listening. Other African musicians such as Salif Keita and Baaba Maal have more bite, and Richard Bona, whose albums are just as westernised is a more exceptional musician whose voice is more soaring and beautiful.

Having said all that, this is a nice album with a good blend of traditional influences and western production.
