Rigo [Ringo] Star - Ne Refuse Pas: 8 (A-)


The album looks to be called Star but is often listed as Ne Refuse Pas, the name of the lead and longest track. Anyway, this appears to be his first solo album, and it has Diblo listed as playing guitar as well as Rigo. This has to be one of the earliest appearance of Diblo on record (1985), aside from the Aurlus Mabele and Kanda Bongo Man albums. Anyway, it is the same year Diblo recorded the incomparable Malika on Ami Eh! Bougez!, so he was clearly on fire at the time. Tried to find this on vinyl (never reissued) for a reasonable price and could not. The sebenes are classic, although the underlying songs are all pretty empty vehicles therefor.
