L'homme égal à lui-même

Congolese rumba with soukous sebene energy; open with a soft but powerful, slow deep male spoken voice, close and resonant; then atalaku-style shouted responses over bright interlocking electric guitars, rolling bass, hand percussion and buoyant drums. Let the guitar-led sebene build after the spoken tag, with lively call-and-response shouts and a warm, spacious mix.
