Africa's best-known bass player, Ngouma Lokito, warming up

Hear Ngouma for real at http://cdbaby.com/cd/ngouma This YouTube clip is not supposed to be a show of Ngouma Lokito's best work: That would be Pon Moun Paka Bouge, with Pepe Kalle, the link above. You gotta hear the bass in Congolese music: It's more like a a solo than the bass is in other kinds of music. Hear Ngouma at his best again on Pepe Kalle's famous megahit "Ce Chale Carnaval", and on "Soto" from Aurlus Mabelé and Néné Tchakou. Also don't miss Ngouma Lokito's own CD, "Talisman." They call Ngouma "Le Professeur" -- the university professor of the bass guitar...!
