“The® vibrant -Zairean star drops
the La Sape legacy, an elegant fash-

Zaire, and pays more attention to his

- musical foundations, rooted as they ‘

are in. bouncy Afro-Cuban rhythms
and American R&B.

“Now ‘based in Paris, Papa is
intrinsic to. the. thriving African
music scene there.

-Emotion’s musicians ” include
Keyboardist Jean-Philippe Rykiel,*
‘heard on Salif Keita’s most excel-

- Consciousness 101 if you will. Funk
