Various - Rendez Vous Soukouss Paris

Review by Tisha Lundy

Rendez Vous Soukouss Paris by Various is a vibrant and eclectic album that blends African rhythms with contemporary styles. The album features a diverse range of artists from the Parisian music scene, each bringing their unique flavor to the mix.

The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "Soukouss Party" by Kanda Bongo Man, setting the tone for the rest of the album. From there, listeners are treated to a range of styles, from the soulful vocals of Lokua Kanza on "Mabele" to the funky grooves of "Bibisha" by Diblo Dibala.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Bouger Bouger," a collaboration between the legendary Congolese singer Papa Wemba and the Parisian DJ and producer Mokobe. The track is a high-energy dancefloor anthem that blends traditional African rhythms with modern electronic beats.
