Papa Noel and Papi Oviedo (Congo/Cuba)
Papa Neol and Papi Oviedo links on Radio 3:
Awards for World Music 2003 profile
nominated by:
Gina Hendry, London:
'Brilliant collaboration between a couple of giants of understated talent.'
Mick Coleman, Swansea:
'He is one of the unsung heroes of Congolese music. He nearly died 18 months ago. Thankfully he recovered and I had the pleasure and delight of booking him and Adan Pedroso for a concert in that well known cultural desert, Swansea, early in 2002. All those that were there were stunned by this magical guitarist including myself. He also released a delightful collaboration with the Cuban tres player Papi Oviedo this year. "Bana Congo" emphasises the link between cuban rumba and cuban music. All strength to their respective talents and best wishes to "Nono" for 2003. He's a lovely man as well as a majestic musician.
