This album was released in 1984 by Grando Zaiko Wawa, a group formed by guitarist Manuaku Waku and keyboard player Nzenze Mongengo after they left Zaiko Langa Langa in 1981. Nene Tchakou, who was the guitarist of Langa Langa Stars, joined the group. The main vocalist is probably Djo Poster, and his beautiful voice can be heard in the rumba parts. Manuaku Waku and Nene Tchakou's guitars play melodies with great flexibility, and Nzenze Mongengo plays a nice round sound like an electric piano, but suddenly he hits a series of electronic hooks, which is very interesting. B2's scale is so unique.
