The Voice of Lightness: Congo Classics 1961-1977. It’s the album I have put on for pleasure more than almost any other in the past 12 months.) A few days ago, Ken Braun of Sterns Music emailed that he’d gotten indirect word from a former bandmate that Tabu Ley is in Brussels’ St. Luc’s Hospital; he hadn’t gotten word of his condition. Tabu Ley is in his late 60s and in addition to music has spent several years working in the Kinshasa government; still, nothing has reached English Google as of yet.
