The story of the record
Super Man arrived after nearly two decades at the front of African dance music, and it plays like a statement of standing rather than a bid for attention.
The songwriting is broader here, reaching towards the Afropop audience growing across the continent while keeping the Soukous rhythm engine that has always driven his music.
It is the record that confirmed Awilo Longomba as a living legend of Congolese music — an artist whose sound had outlived the trend he helped create.
