Nyboma: Doublé Doublé [Rounder, 1984]
Four eight-minute dance tracks plunked down into a standard African (also disco) album format, this features the almost feminine tenor of the leader of Zaire's Orchestre les Kamalé, but it's made by the guitar parts. The one that hooks the title track resolves a familiar African contradiction--it's both the trickiest and the most propulsive thing on the record, and well worth owning. The rest is at least worth hearing. B+
