Orchestre M Tamet - Odette La Java Des Timides

Review by Mike Gill

Orchestre M Tamet's album Odette La Java Des Timides is a masterpiece of Congolese rumba music. The album features the soulful vocals of Odette, who delivers each song with a raw emotional power that is both haunting and beautiful.

The album opens with the title track, "Odette La Java Des Timides," a lively and upbeat number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The rhythm section is tight and groovy, and the horns add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the mix.

Other standout tracks include "Laissez-moi Rêver," a slow and sensual ballad that showcases Odette's incredible vocal range, and "Nostalgie Ya Mboka," a nostalgic tribute to the band's homeland.
