Born in the Belgian Congo before it became Zaire and then the DRC, the singer-guitarist rose to superstar status in his adopted country of Tanzania, where he was known, simply, as 'the Doctor'. With the sprawling Orchestre Super Matimila he mixed sparkling Congolese soukous with Tanzanian rhythms and touches of funk, soul and Latin music. He sang about the issues that had affected him growing up, the sole supporter of his family. 'Songs for the Poor Man' is their first album to feature lyrics in English as well as Swahili, and the first they'd record in the West. Here, then, is a band firing on all cylinders: a bassist, saxophonist, three percussionists and three guitarists delivering an East African take on soukous, while giving their leader's distinctive rasp the space to soar.Run Time: 69.23Genre: World MusicStyle: AfricanType: AlbumMPN: CDRW6AFSRelease Year: 2022Tracks: 1: Nasikitika2: Karola3: Kipenda Roho4: Sauti Ya Mnyonge5: Kifo6: Usingizi7: Muziki Asili Yake Wapi8: Pamella9: Dole10: Mariam Wangu Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
