Sala Sala [LP]

Fabe Beaurel Bambi & Elikia - Sala Sala [LP]

Congolese musician and composer Fabe Beaurel Bambi presents Sala Sala, the debut album from Elikia, a five-piece Congolese Afro-jazz group from Paris, and the first release on Berlin-based Little Tone Records. Recorded live over three days in Paris, the album blends Congolese and pygmy musical traditions with rumba, jazz and spiritual grooves, creating a contemporary, funk-laced and highly danceable sound with plenty of variety across the record. Sung in Lingala, Lari and Kikongo, Sala Sala connects ancestral memory and modern Afro-jazz while carrying a message of hope, responsibility and transformation. For fans of Kokoroko, Ezra Collective, Nate Smith, Richard Bona. 01. Ba Mambu 02. Dodo 03. Help 04. Elikia 05. Muana Mameh 06. Sala Sala 07. Joie et Tristesse
