Review by Stewart Feldman

Alright, let’s dive into this gem of an album—4 Top Congo Stars African Dance Vol. 2. Released way back in 1976, it’s one of those records that just oozes vibes from Nigeria and France, blending Folk, World, Country, and even a splash of Latin flavor. If you’re into raw rhythms and soulful grooves, this is your jam. The record’s got rumba beats and African energy all over it, making it impossible not to move. Labels like Afric-Decca and African really knew how to put out fire back then. Now, let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck with me. First up, "Bondowe 11 (Suite)". Man, this one’s smooth. It’s got this hypnotic rhythm that kinda sneaks up on you. You’re just chilling, maybe sipping something cold, and suddenly you’re tapping your feet or nodding your head without even realizing it. The percussion is tight, but not too polished—you can feel the human touch in there. It’s the kind of track that makes you wanna grab someone and hit the dance floor, even if your moves are questionable (trust me, mine are). Then there’s "Cherie Bondowe (Suite)", which feels like a warm hug for your ears. There’s this sultry vibe running through it, like a lazy Sunday afternoon where nothing else matters. The vocals? Oh man, they’re dripping with emotion. Like, you don’t even need to understand every word to get what the singer’s feeling. It’s one of those songs that stays with you long after it ends, kinda like when you hear a distant echo of a melody and can’t shake it off. What I love most about this album is how real it feels. No auto-tune, no overproduced nonsense—just pure musicianship. It’s like flipping through an old photo album; each track tells its own little story. And honestly, listening to this makes me wonder why more people aren’t talking about these artists today. They were doing stuff back then that still sounds fresh now. So yeah, give 4 Top Congo Stars African Dance Vol. 2 a spin if you ever stumble across it. It’s the kind of record that reminds you music doesn’t need to try too hard to be good—it just needs heart. Oh, and fun fact: I once played “Bondowe 11” at a party, and my cat started dancing. True story.
