The high-pitched, and often melancholy, tone of Wembas beautiful singing style is reminiscent of his traditional and rural beginnings in Kassa and of his mother, who sang traditional mourning songs for the deceased. During the 1960s, Wemba received musical training of the highest order in Kinshasa, with legends like Tabu Ley Seigneur Rochereau and Jean Bosco Mwenda. A younger generation of musicians, however, were intent on rebelling against the traditional rhumba style. Rhythm and blues, rock n roll and soul became part of the musical vocabulary of Zarean youth, and Wemba was a founding member of this new wave. This album is a synthesis of true Zarean feeling, with sounds and structures that are immediately accessible to the Western ear the mark of a truly mature musician.
