Adieu Sabina 10. Diantoti ‘Seben Steps to Heaven’ is the debut album by London based Congolese band Congo Dia Ntotila. The core of the band formed around 2009 in West Yorkshire, when a group of African and western musicians began to play and learn new styles from each other. These were bassist/guitarist Mulele Matondo (DRC), guitarist John Kelly (UK), drummer David Lessie (DRC) and vocalist Dady Kisonga (DRC). Further members were gradually selected from a countrywide pool of both Congolese and western musicians, and the album was completed in 2011 before the band relocated to London. The vision amongst the founding musicians was to bring subtle changes to the sound of Congolese Rhumba, Cameronian Makossa , French/Caribbean Zouk and other Central African dance floor favourites, without compromising the music’s authenticity. This is achieved by skillfully (and sparingly!) adding some jazz harmonies and soloing, and a live horn section – reminiscent of the early years of Congolese Rhumba before the use of synth became all too common. The band has been making waves on dance floors across the UK, introducing these irresistible rhythms to an ever-widening audience. ‘Seben Steps to Heaven’ takes its title from one of the identifying characteristics of Congolese music - the ‘seben’. Similar in many ways to the coros and montunos in salsa, this refers to the passage/passages in almost every song on this album (usually towards the end) where the guitar plays a repeated phrase as the rhythm section plays a heavier groove, making everybody within earshot dance.....
