Orchestre African Fiesta - Kiri Kiri Mabina Ya Sika Sookie
Review by Paige Ray
Orchestre African Fiesta's album Kiri Kiri Mabina Ya Sika Sookie is a classic example of Congolese rumba music at its finest. The album, released in 1975, showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and ability to create infectious rhythms that get listeners moving and grooving.
The album's title track, "Kiri Kiri Mabina Ya Sika Sookie," is a standout with its catchy guitar riffs and vocal harmonies. The song's lyrics tell the story of a man who is trying to win the heart of a woman, and the band's performance perfectly captures the joy and excitement of falling in love.
Other notable tracks on the album include "Omona Wapi," which features a beautiful melody and a powerful vocal performance from lead singer Sam Mangwana, and "Tika Na Nga," a lively track with a memorable chorus that will have listeners singing along.

I’m just 28 but I listen to those songs like I was alive back then…
You were the real doctor of guitar.
