专辑介绍
by Alex Henderson
Among American audiences, Manu Dibango is best known for &Soul Makossa,& a highly infectious blend of African music, soul-funk, and jazz that became a major pop hit in the early '70s. The African artist revisited his signature tune on 1994's Wakafrika, which boasts an all-star cast that includes Peter Gabriel as well as Haiti's Papa Wemba and African heroes Ladysmith Black Mambazo, King Sunny Ade, and Youssou N'Dour. With such a stellar bunch of guests, Wakafrika should have been outstanding instead of simply decent. But while it isn't the all-out masterpiece it should have been, there's a lot that's enjoyable on this CD, including the reggae-influenced &Em'ma,& a remake of Gabriel's &Biko,& and the &Makossa&-ish jams &Wakafrika& and &Jingo.& Though likable enough, Dibango's new version of &Soul Makossa& falls short of the excellence of the original -- but then, one couldn't realistically expect him to improve on perfection.
