Deep in a rabbit hole of listening to Soukous (Congolese music) and loving this album so much. Happy vocals with a lot of heart from Pepe Kalle. Nimble, airy, yet prominent guitar from Diblo Dibala. Infectiously groovy, you will move even if you're sitting down. So good

Speaking of great #guitarists, here’s my favorite #African player, #DibloDibala. Just stunning how creative #Soukos players are over just 2 or 3 chords.

I had the pleasure of chatting with him a few years ago to ask permission to record a solo of his that I had transcribed. He was so gracious about it.

A few months ago we decided to pull out an old track for a show, which meant I had to relearn to breaks. Here I am playing along with the first two breaks, which were directly transcribed (with permission) from the great #DibloDibala of #soukous fame. The full studio track from our first record, "Songs in Borrowed Time," follows. I'm playing the same #Kauer Banshee custom #Firebird I used for the original track.
