Bimi's The Ting That The Doctor Order Me

I'm off to Brussels again in a couple of hours. This is just a quick in and out visit, and I am not sure whether I will have the time to nip into Musicanova to pick up some Congolese CDs. Just in case I do not, here is one I got earlier.

The CD is by Bimi Ombale, who spent the best part of twenty years singing with Zaiko Langa Langa before heading off. The CD was released on Musicanova's own label, is titled simply "Bimi Ombale", and does not have a release date on it. Bimi is backed by Groupe Basilique, and special mention must go to Benico Zangilu for some excellent guitar work on these tracks:

"Papy Masampu"

"Sakaroni"

And here is Bimi and his mates in action:
