Oliver N'Goma - Bane [placeholder]

I gave this a single listen, but really, the only reason it got my attention at all is because on 2 of its 8 tracks -- “Lusa” and “Mayumba” -- N’Goma is joined by Dally Kimoko, Lokassa Ya Mbongo, and Miquel Yamba. So ¼ of the album is essentially late 1980s Parisian soukous that I wanted to hear. The album appears almost comically dinky and inconsequential, although I do emphasize that I only listened once. And even on those 2 tracks, “Lusa” is forgettable, with Dally only really trilling away a little at the end. The sebene on “Mayumba” is good though.
