Album Reviews

Review: 

Souring soulful vocals, tight sax riffs and the sweetest rumba guitar licks are the hallmarks of Samba Mapangala Et Orchestra Virunga. Check out their first ever acoustic track "Muniache." This album was co-produced by Bopol Mansiamina, who also plays rhythm guitar. The group is aptly named after the Virunga volcanoes.
