I enjoyed listening to Henry Dool's new album titled Makossa Potomac. I am an aficionado of African and world music. I must confess that this album is a classic of modern African popular music; it fuses Makossa and Soukous--music varieties from the Cameroons and the Congos. A connoiseur of African music will observe the rhythms of other African peoples in the ten songs that make up Henry Dool's new album.
Ewanda iyo, the first song, focuses on the singer's love for a beautiful lady who is still in Africa. In Crazy love, the second song, the singer expresses the passionate love he has for his fiancee. Marriage, the third song, celebrates the institution of marriage. The singer advises marital partners to tolerate the failings of each other. The prisoner, song number four, admonishes parents to protect their children from the seamy aspects of street life; he warns that children who roam the streets would end up in jail or prison. Song number five, Prince Ojong, is a panegyric honoring the producer of the new album. In song number six, I love you, the singer returns to the love theme that dominates this album. Les problemes, song number seven, relates the story of human problems and the mystery of life. Makossa Potomac, song number eight, is a reprise on love sequence. Maloka man, song number nine, reflects the self-absorption of the singer. Nostalgie, song number ten, harps on the singers alienation in America and homesickness. In all, this is a wonderful album.
