M'Bilia Bel - Bameli Soy,
Leader Records 1987




It's been over a year, in october of 2009, that we had M'Bilia
Bel at the GG. So little female singers from Congo. I am sure
I don't know a bunch of them but the finest of the ones I do know
is without any doubt, M'Bilia. Some of the songs on this album
also appeared on previously posted LP's but not on one LP.
The versions on this album are partly different from those.
It's a Nigerian release on Leader Records from 1987, listen.

tracks;

1 Bameli soy
2 Nazali mwasi
3 Lizanga bambanda
4 Faux pas

Thank you for this great and wonderful vinyl :-)

Need to inform you that track 3 and 4 is not titled right.

Nr 3 "Faux Pas" is "Lisanga Bambanda"

Nr 4 "Lisanga Bambanda" is "Faux Pas"

Hi Moos.
I think you misunderstood me a bit.
"Faux Pas" is not "Faux Pas" but "Lisanga Bambanda".
The backsleeve info is right but not the two last titles versus the contents.
You can compare your "Faux Pas" with this one from Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkRNhk0G16M

Do the same with your "Lisanga Bambanda".

That was a stupid thing to do, where was I ? If I'm not mistaking,
it's correct now, tags and all..
