Papa Wemba has passed away. His legacy lives on and is best captured by the following article: http://www.songlines.co.uk/world-music-news/2016/04/papa-wemba-1949-2016/
His Real World Music Album, Emotion, 1995 is richly diverse with a musical display of Wemba’s varied musical creations in ballad and dance forms. His signature on the African Continent will be missed. Wemba is one of my favorite artists.
