Ace of Pentacles ~ Bachus Tarot

Think of the Ace of Coins as an anchor. Think of it as the pen hitting paper, the brush stroking canvas. There might have been ideas swirling around, diffuse and dissipating, but now it is time to actually start the work. Coins rule matter and the real world, and so this card is about starting to put form to the inspiration. Of all the Aces, this is the least obvious. The other three, Swords, Cups, and Wands, can knock you upside the head and take over your entire life. The Coins card is subtle, because it is the beginning of making something. And one can work only so quickly. It is the chisel going into the marble, something that takes time and delicacy, rather than the inspiration for the finished product, which can appear all at once out of nowhere. The Ace of Coins also brings stability. It turns dreams and ideas into reality, and that can be a very grounding process for some. The painter Yayoi Kusama had a mind that played tricks on her. She suffered from hallucinations at times: the pattern on the tablecloth would expand until it was crawling over the walls, the floor, up her legs. But the act of creating something from those visions rooted her and brought her back to reality. If she re-created on canvas the patterns she saw, the visions could be brought under control. They could be worked with instead of against. Which is not to say that you need to go mad to get the most out of the Ace of Coins. But it can be a stabilizing force, to take the potential, this idea—maybe from one of the other Aces—that leaves you trembling and overly excited, and make something out of it. The Ace of Coins means that you should assess your discipline and work process as well. If you’re waiting for divine inspiration, you might be waiting forever. Start the work and see what happens.

And finally today, I'm posting something on Zaiko Langa Langa. Since my last post was on Papa Wemba it was about time to share something about one of the most important bands of Congo DR. Down below there is an information I took from wikipedia that explains the meaning of their name:

 "The word "Zaiko" is a portmanteau for the lingala phrase Zaire ya bankoko, meaning "Zaire of our ancestors", where "Zaire" must be read as a reference to the river by that name, now called Congo. The meaning of the phrase "Langa Langa" is controversial; according to the band's website, it means "marvelous" or "almighty" "

Similar to other bands such as TPOK and Orchestre Afrisa (so many other bans from the seminal soukoss birth) they are also configurated as a big band in a jazz style _ with many instruments and members_ and therefore, that's why these kind of band is also known as a orchestra. Here's another information there I've extract from their entry at Wikipedia:

"Founded in the early 1969 by D.V. Moanda, Marcelin Delo, Henry Mongombe, Olemi Eshar-Eshar dem'belina and Andre Bita, Zaiko Langa Langa survived into the 2000s (decade), and have been largely popular through the decades. Because of their "rebel" and "hippie" attitude, and their innovative approach to soukous, they became a symbol of the new generations of post-independence os Zaire (now Democractic Republic of Congo).

The band was formed in 1969 with the provisional name "Orchestra Zaiko". The original lineup was composed of Papa Wemba, Mavuela Somo, Evoloko Lay Lay, Teddy Sukami, Oncle Bapius,Zamuangana le meilleur and Manuaku Waku (also known as Pépé Fely) and N'Yoka Longo. The band also had a pop section, which was playing before the soukous section, with Bimi Ombale, Mbuta Matima and Mashakado Mbuta. Moanda, Mongombe, Marcelin, Waku, Longo and Bita were all from a former band called Bel Guide National.They were mostly students coming from upper-class families of Kinshasa.

The sound of Zaiko Langa Langa was revolutionary with respect to the soukous tradition. They adopted a more up tempo beat, abandoned wind instruments and emphasized snare drums and leadelectric guitars (and eventually also synthesizers). The percussion rhythms were adapted from traditional Congolese music and the sebene became more prominent. Their vocal lines made a large use of the call and response schemes. Their frenetic stage shows featured a frontline of four singers.

Because of these innovations, they are sometimes referred to as the founders of the "third school" of soukous, while they "rebel" attitude, which resembled that of the hippie movement, earned them the sobriquet of "Zaire's Rolling Stones"

Here's the album Zaire-Ghana from 1993 and produced by Henri Bowane - a major producer of soukous bands and the partner of Wendo Kolosoy in his hit Marie Louise.
