Congolese Music / Re: A TRIBUTE TO TSHALA MUANA | MUSIC VIDEO
« on: December 18, 2022, 15:39 »


Nice tribute, very poignant mutwashi tune.

Thanks for sharing.
RIP Mamou Nationale...

I fell in love with her music when i heard this song in the then popular music program URTNA.I have never been able to getthe video for this song.


Yeah,

URTNA was the place to meet African stars them days.
I too have never seen a video of Vuluka Dilolo, especially the UTNA version.

Mamu Nationale was a Treasure and trailblazer for female musicians and she left a very clean record and legacy.
Rest in Power Tshala Muana Queen of Mutuashi....

Congolese Music / Is this True ?

Hello guys,
I am reading on social media that Verckys Kiamuangana Passed on this week.

Looking at this forum there is no mention of it.



Anyone have details?

A very refreshing session !

Indeed, I never thought I would live to see them sing together again.

I hope they continue their perfromances of the Original 4X4.

Man, 25 minutes of dancing!!

They all did a great job Titina, Mbetenge and the others

This I like.

There are a number of very nolstagic cries in it and the guitar work is on Point.
Good Effort.

Congolese Music / Re: BARARK OBAMA A FAN OF CONGOLESE MUSIC
« on: July 10, 2021, 18:22 »
Nice to see




This follows.
I read in his autobiography how when he was young his father would put on a Lingala LP and would dance to it.
Obama said he was facinated at how the music would take his dad ot some trance-like state.
Probably some Luambo or Tabu Ley classics as they were the hot musicians of that time.

Heh Heh Heh||

That dance style on 0:15 was known as bumping - Very popular the world over - Variations were Bumping Kungfu and Watergate....

This clip has taken me back.

Thanks Man

Wuta Mayi
Michel Boyibanda
Jolie Detta
Baniel
Nana
Youlou Mabiala
Lokombe Ntal
Carlyto Lassa
Bola Bolithe (under Simaro and Ok Jazz)
Diatho Lukoki

Not sure I’d count any of those people as they weren’t OK Jazz members at the time of Franco’s death.

All of the above except Bola Bolithe were Bona fide TPOK Jazz members.

Jollie Detta for example sang with FRanco on the Hit "Layille"
Wuta Mayi, Michelle Boyibanda were vocalists in a number of TPOK Jazz hits, especially in the 70's
Nana Akumu joined OK Jazz in the 70s as well
Of Youlou Mabiala  He was refeered as Franco's Prince

Not sure which one was not an OK member ( Other than Bola ) Really...
