- Remember, from now through Election Day, Republican strategy is simple: Discourage Democratic voters from going to the polls by filling the airwaves with predictions of doom and gloom. Delay voting and create lines at polls by challenging voters and election officials. Deny voters the opportunity to cast their votes and have them counted. Don't let anyone deprive you of the right to vote. |

Bel, Bel... (Oct 30 2004 23:47 GMT) - M’Bilia Bel Belissimo (Sterns Africa TCD1098 , 2004) M’Bilia first came to prominence in the 1970s as vocal sidekick and wife of the top Zaпrean [Congolese] singer Tabu Ley. Her soft-touch vocal style, which skips and trips over the smooth rumba/soukous rhythm, was in superb counterpoint to Ley’s. She made a string of albums both with Ley and solo, backed by L’Afrisa International. Of these, Boya Ye (also released in the UK & US by Sterns) is possibly the most popular, though it's run a close second by her final Ley-related release, Phйnomиne. |
