Smooth as Butter



Congo music doesn't get much smoother and more elegant than Bumba Massa's 1982 outing L'Argent et la Femme (Star Musique SMP6017), recorded in Togo with the participation of Bopol Mansiamina, Syran Mbenza and Lokassa ya Mbongo, among others. When I posted Bumba's 1983 LP Dovi earlier this year, I promised this one would be coming your way also. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this John, I notice the words "Mass-Media" on the front cover. I have a couple of stray singles from I 'm guessing the same period from an "orchestre mass media" - do you think this is the same outfit?

I have no idea, Zim. Could be - there are no credits on the sleeve, do they sound similar?
