Synopsis

Album Description

Champeta is the riotous Afro-Colombian street sound of Colombia's Caribbean coast - a powder-keg of rhythms from local slave descendents brewed together with Congolese soukous, Ghanaian highlife, and Nigerian Afro-beat. Three years in the making, Voodoo Love Inna Champeta Land finds Colombian Champeta stars Viviano Torres, Luis Towers and Justo Valdez jamming with African legends Dally Kimoko, Diblo Dibala, Sékou Diabaté, Nyboma and Rigo Star, bringing roots Afro-Colombian grooves back home to African soil. Afro-Latin grooves have never sounded like this before...

CD Reviews

African Roots

James B. Whitney | Minneapolis, MN. USA | 02/22/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great album consisting of collaborations between Colombian and African musicians. The music reminds me of Congolese soukouss which is inspired by rhumba music. The most notable artist here is guitar master Diblo Dibala who has worked with Kanda Bongo Man and Loketo.

The songs are mostly upbeat and sung in Spanish dealing with subjects like love, loss, and the connection many Colombians have with Mama Africa. This disk would be great for a party where people want to dance. My only complaint about this project is the last song on the album. After almost an hour of well played, tight tunes, the cd ends with what seems to be a more traditional song. Not only do the female vocals sound like a group of old women singing drunkenly off key, they are out of tune with the instruments making the last song one to skip. It is at the end so no big deal really. That aside, this is still a good buy. After all, it has Diblo!"
