about

A special gift for Bakolo 70: 3 free songs!

Bakolo Music International, Kinshasa original old style rumba pionneers from the 30's are back with a new single! "Ngange" is a Kicongo word meaning "Sorcerer" or "Fetichist" refering to the numerous fake sorcerers using black magie to fear and influence people in the Congolese Capital of Kinshasa.

The single was not recorded in one of the numerous fancy studios of Kinshasa but in house with a sound ingenieer, a mix table and good microphones. You may hear some street noices in it. This is an experience to catch an original and pure sound.
