If multiculturalism had a sound, this might be it. Mopaya blends Congolese soukous dance music with a reggae undertone. Their debut album is not for wallflowers as the music goes right into the body. Lead singer\/songwriter Jeik Kalunga Loksa clearly knows what he\u2019s doing as he had a previously successful career in a Kenyan pop group, but hard times led him to a Tanzanian refugee camp. Four years ago, he came to St. John\u2019s with his family and met local musician Curtis Andrews, and Mopaya was formed. With lyrics in English, French, Lingala, Vundu and Swahili, you get lots of fresh cadence. &#8220;Mosembo&#8221; features some speedy keyboard work and &#8220;Basala&#8221; offers a touch of house as it shakes a drum beat to pure transcendence. The groove is so good that the vocals are almost distracting at times. Almost.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/exclaim.ca\/Reviews\/SoulFunkAndWorld\/mopaya-sango_yango\">http:\/\/exclaim.ca\/Reviews\/SoulFunkAndWorld\/mopaya-sango_yango<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='shareinpost'><ul class=\"socialwrap row\"><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a  rel='nofollow'  target='_blank'  title='Recommend this post : Mopaya &#8211; Sango Yango on Facebook'  href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fshop%2Fmopaya-sango-yango%2F&amp;t=Mopaya+%E2%80%93+Sango+Yango'  ><img  src='http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif'  height='24' width='24'  class='image-24' alt='facebook'  style='background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-300px 0px'   \/> <span class=\"head\">Recommend on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a  rel='nofollow'  target='_blank'  title='Pin this post : Mopaya &#8211; Sango Yango on Pinterest'  href='http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fshop%2Fmopaya-sango-yango%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F11%2Fmopaya-150x150.jpg'  ><img  src='http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif'  height='24' width='24'  class='image-24' alt='pinterest'  style='background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-1200px 0px'   \/> <span class=\"head\">Pin it on pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a  rel='nofollow'  target='_blank'  title='Tweet this post : Mopaya &#8211; Sango Yango on Twitter'  href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsrecords.com%2Fsite%2Fshop%2Fmopaya-sango-yango%2F&amp;text=\"  ><img  src='http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif'  height='24' width='24'  class='image-24' alt='twitter'  style='background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-1625px 0px'   \/> <span class=\"head\">Tweet about it<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"iconOnly\"><a rel=\"_self\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Freds%20Records%20:%20Mopaya%20&#8211;%20Sango%20Yango&amp;body=here%20is%20a%20link%20to%20something%20on%20the%20Fred's%20Records%20site%20I%20thought%20you%20might%20like.%20%20https:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/shop\/mopaya-sango-yango\/\" title=\"Check this out -- totally thought of you...\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/images\/blank.gif\" height=\"24\"  width=\"24\" style=\"background: transparent url(http:\/\/www.fredsrecords.com\/site\/wp-content\/plugins\/share-and-follow\/default\/24\/sprite-feb-24.png) no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;height:24px;width:24px;background-position:-275px 0px\" class=\"image-24\"  alt=\"email\" \/> <span class=\"head\">Tell a friend<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"clean\"><\/div> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
