Looking back, I was surprised to see that this was the first Aurlus Mabele tune to feature here, in Peel show terms, since Boxing Day, 1991. I’m increasingly coming to the conclusion that if a soukous Mount Rushmore ever gets built, it should only include anyone who ever played as part of Mabele’s band, Loketo. For their admirable insistence on just getting to the sparkle - and for me, the sound of soukous guitar is the aural embodiment of that word - they stand at the peak of their field. For those with longer memories, the guitar work here is in the La Joie de Vivre category.
