The World Is Shaking: Cubanismo From The Congo, 1954-55. The music on this album was recorded several years before the Congo became independent of its twin colonisers, France and Belgium. The music is upbeat, and is a potent combination of latin, jazz, and of course, Congolese music. At times it can also sound akin to highlife and some Nigerian musics from this time. That said, it truly is a unique combination, where electric guitars and saxophones meet more traditional drums, kazoos and balafons. The mix is exciting, innovative, and would lead to the development of the extremely popular Congolese Rhumba.
