2008 Release. Follow up to his debut CD "Misiya", "Su La Take" continues with his intense playing and his African roots singing in the Duala language of Cameroon. These fourteen tracks, all but three written by Mbappe, harbor many little gems, and ring with the spirit of West Africa. The instrumentation on Su La Take is an attractive mixture of steel drum, fugelhorn, kamala ngoni, trumpet, cello, guitars, violin and the ever-present, though understated percussion. Mbappe's arrangements mean that the music never sounds cluttered; all the instruments have plenty of elbow room and combine most effectively. The standout instrument however, is Etienne Mbappe's voice; rich and seductive—a storyteller's voice.
