Aurlus Mabele - Nicoletta fille des Antilles: 3.5 stars


Definitely wish I could get this in physical, but as usual it costs way more than it's worth to have in physical. I will also skip it because it doesn't have the "Loketo" label, it's not on Jimmy's Production where all the other early Aurlus and Loketo albums were, but on Afro-Rythmes where alot of early random soukous albums were released. In other words, this is one of a half dozen albums where Diblo first started appearing as a session soloist, rather than a Loketo stalwart or solo artist. The only early Diblo that isn't in that category is a Kanda Bongo Man release that was later put out on a more widely available release (Non Stop Non Stop). How's that for an elaborate excuse to not spend a fortune on a copy, or years hoping to find one? Valuable early Diblo nevertheless.
