About Rei Momo

Rei Momo is the first solo album by David Byrne, released on 3 October 1989. The album consists of diverse Latin music styles from Cuba (rumba, mozambique, mambo, chachachá, bolero), the Dominican Republic (merengue), Puerto Rico (bomba), Colombia (cumbia, mapeyé) and Brazil (samba, pagode). This mélange of Latin rhythms is delivered by Byrne with his characteristic witty lyrics, vocal style, arrangements and production. The album is mostly sung in English and features guest appearances by Kirsty MacColl, Willie Colón and Celia Cruz, among others.
