All Music Guide Review

Formed in 1969, Zaiko dropped the more overt Cuban references and horn sections of the early giants of Zairean music, Franco, Rochereau, Kale, and Nico, in favor of a faster guitar, voice, and snare drum-driven style. The seben, the improvised instrumental section at the end of Zairean songs, took on a new, supercharged exuberance as the guitars intertwined over the chattering snare reminiscent of the march-tinged drumming in a New Orleans brass band. This is not just an important document of a seminal band at its peak in 1976, but a rip-snorting great time! ~ Carl Hoyt, All Music Guide
