I really don't have much to say about this one. It's Olomide's take on a traditional style of Congolese music, which he dubbed as Tcha Tcho. It features songs that often start slow and then burst into upbeat syncopated guitar and snare drum, perfect for dancing.
Olomide seems to have been a lifelong lover of music, making do as a child creating music with no access to musical instruments. He went on to release music both as a solo artist and with various collaborators, and then also teaching others.
I found his music enjoyable enough, even if the production sounded a little dated (some really old-school electric-keyboard sounds). If nothing else, I respect someone with such an abiding lifelong love of music.
