It's been a while since we had Djo Mpoy. Hearing his voice is
a real treat. On this record we hear him with his friend Diato
Lukoki and their group 'le Canon du Zaïre'. It's called 'Monotonie'.
A title that doesn't cover the load of great music exposed here.
I am not sure but in Dutch the word has no positive meaning.
Except from the fact he worked with Fanco's OK Jazz, I can't
tell you a whole lot more about Djo. I do know this is a very
nice album, beautiful harmonies, the drummer in this band
is a sheer hero, enjoy le Canon du Zaïre, damn fireworks.
tracks;
1 Santa
2 Monotonie

This has made my day!
Without doubt one of TPOKJ azz premier singers, Joe Mpoyi is a long time favorite of mine.
Thanks

Moos,
you are doing the firework this month. I have problems to listen to all the music you are posting actually. (But I will, of course!)
And by the way I try to post something by myself at Dial Africain between.
Thanks again for this great music! And for you all who love this one, there's another great Canon du Zaire -album Azalaka Occupé, which is available on Afro Slabs blog:

or the straight Rapidshare link:

monotonie is one of the songs off the album. monotonie doesn't describe the album but rather the relationship that the singer is singing about.
i love your blog, continued success!! :)
