PepeKalle - Marche Commun

Review by Keith Kralik

Marche Commun, the album by Pepe Kalle, is a classic example of Congolese rumba music. The album was released in 1986 and remains a timeless masterpiece of African music. The album is a perfect blend of the traditional Congolese rumba and modern sounds, which makes it stand out from other rumba albums.

The album features ten tracks, all of which are beautifully crafted and performed with great skill and passion. The opening track, "Moyibi", is a perfect introduction to the album, with its infectious rhythm and catchy lyrics. The album also features the hit song "Roger Milla", which pays homage to the legendary Cameroonian footballer.

Pepe Kalle's vocals are outstanding throughout the album, and his band, Empire Bakuba, provides excellent instrumentation that complements his voice perfectly. The album's production is also top-notch, with a clean and crisp sound that makes the music sound even more beautiful.

The album is a testament to Pepe Kalle's talent as a musician and his contribution to African music. It's an album that will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.
