Plus Vivant [Import]

Product Description
Performed Exclusively in the Language of Verlaine and Rimbaud, this Album from Lokua Kanza Proposes Another Pure, Unquestionable Incarnation of the Notion Called 'crossbred Origins', Creating a Perfect (In Other Words, Imperceptible) Fusion Between North and South and Re-creating, in his Own Way, the One-ness which in Other Times Made Our Common Ancestors Unique. It is a Superbly Arranged Record, Fifteen Titles Performed with Enormous Heart and Developed with Such Definitive Values as the Guitarists Sylvain Luc and Pepe Fely Manuaku (One of the Great Creators and a Virtuoso of the Rumba from Zaire), Bassist Richard Bona and Drummer Manu Katche, Both Hardly Unknowns Internationally, Percussionist Sola (A Travelling-companion of Jamiroquaï), and Corneille, Featured on the Overwhelmingly Moving Title of the Same Name.

The best African musician.......2006-10-04

Lokua Kanza has one of the most exceptional voices of Africa. It is smooth, melancholichas and it has a clarity that rings out, calls you from what you're doing and begs you to chill and relax. Lokua Kanza is a musician of multiple talents, a singer, composer or arranger as required. As for his undeniable artistic feeling, it has attracted artists from many different horizons, from Youssou N'Dour to Patrick Bruel. Lokua has brilliantly ensured the renewal of African music, this genius artist delivers music beyond the usual ndombolo sound, and he does it with a lot of class, creativity and simplicity!

Plus Vivant is an album of guitar introspections ("Si Tu Pars"); some done in an R&B style ("Le monde est fou"), some haunting acoustic ballads ("Mal a dire"), and some upbeat tracks, which point towards the african style without being overpowering. There's some beautiful piano, some exceptional guitar solos and it's all very pleasant.

For those who like discovering new music genres, I strictly recommend this album to you. Lokua Kanza is the best African musician and my personal favorite. Trust me you will go back and buy all his previous works (especially Toyebi Te!). Bravo Lokua, we're proud of you!!!

Nevertheless.......2004-06-14

Alexandra Ruffini is not up to the Super-star demands of the "Bell Song", and Giuseppe Morino's reedy quality may be annoying to some, but their duets are exceptionally affecting. This is a generally fine performance of an old fashioned, lyrical gem.

Delibes, Lakme with Mado Robin.......2005-02-19

London issued this as a monaural long ago, but with its very fine monaural sound. Mado Robin was at her best, 'the highest voice in the world', sometimes like a whistle; and the Opera Comique was then a real troupe, working very well together. The whole thing was a wonderful experience, and finely recorded.
This reprint is as tubby a sound as you can get and a great disappointment. If you collect Robin and want something of an idea how she performed ensemble, this will help imagine what the original was like. It would be nice to see this re-issued in adequate sound.
