It’s these kind of guys and some of the other figures that made modern congolese in the golden era what it was, even guys like Radja kula also Japonais. Who in their various roles worked behind the scenes so that people would DANCE. Heritiers two Generique on CDG have so many small parts of good partitions on solo and keyboard even some good animation but the structure and flow makes no sense you can listen but can’t dance.
This one hit me man, one of the most iconic influential and best Animateurs of the genre. So many Zaiko songs when you think of the Seben it’s his voice that comes to mind.
It’s so interesting because this morning I was listening to Koffi - Golden star and really taking in real tcha-tcho. But also last week I was having a conversation talking about how Koffi style influenced rumba and I actually think most peoples rumba these days is actually just dumbed down basic boring tcha tcho mimic without the actual musical complexity and variation or lyrical depth that koffi (and Wazekwa) originally intended or demonstrated. Give your thoughts also
Many Generique I hear today there’s no Guitar licks or animation that are new refreshing and unique. When I think you old generiques if you just played the guitar lick I could tell what song it is these all sound like they’re playing for the same template even when it’s an “okay” or good one like this.
Looked like a really good and well received performance, I like when I see artists do to Kenya Uganda Tanzania etc there will always be markets there for Congolese music if you perform there
A friend of mine told me that the full venue is 20000 people with the minimum attendance at 7k meaning that they won't give you the hall unless you sell 7k tickets my friends said that Ferre would even struggle to get the 7k let alone 20k I have said that yes it might not fill the 20k because Ferre unfortunately is for Congolese and Congolese people only (I have rarely heard a person outside of Diaspora speaking about Ferre) but I think he will fill the venue in 7 k without no problem. I would be pleasantly surprised if he fills 20k
From my experience I see that a lot more francophone people give him respect than we may imagine
This album is being slept on it’s a very good release , the generique was mentioned it’s very good but also the rumbas. anyone looking for good new music this is where it’s at.
Ferre fally and fabregas have all released this year and not one great Lead guitar Generique between them. My gosh what happened to the genre I love. Some beautiful rumba in all albums. Also in Pirate is it Pot-Pourri from TPOK/BANA OK that they took some inspiration?
I really like Soso magistrat and Elimine so far they’re beautiful. No Sebene I don’t know what he’s doing I’ll be honest but he has mentioned before what he wants to focus on so what can we say
