Orch Celi Bitshu - Sacrifice Ya Pamba

Review by Valtid Caushi

Orch Celi Bitshu's album Sacrifice Ya Pamba is a captivating blend of traditional Congolese rhythms and modern electronic beats. The album features a diverse range of instruments, from the ngoma and likembe to the synthesizer and drum machine, creating a unique sound that is both fresh and familiar.

The album's opening track, "Mwana Ya Mokili," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious beat and catchy melody. The vocals, sung in Lingala, add to the album's authenticity and showcase Bitshu's vocal prowess.

Other standout tracks include "Bolingo Na Ngai," a slower, more soulful ballad, and "Nakomi Na Yo," which features a driving bassline and hypnotic percussion.
