Congolese artist Koffi Olomidé has just released his latest album Abracadabra in Kinshasa. The two-dozen songs were recorded in the Congolese capital with a helping hand from his band’s musicians and the singer Cyndi-le-cœur. Since he’s still in trouble with the French law, it’s unlikely we’ll see him promote his 19th album in France.
There are times when you need a helping hand to reach a new milestone. To put together his fourth album, Nimissa, Guinean singer and musician Ba Cissoko was assisted by reputed producer Philippe Eidel, who has managed to draw out each song’s potential and assure some ship-shape production.
