Congolese Music / If there was ever a rythm to represent Congolese music, this is that one« on: January 27, 2021, 00:41 »
There are many good rythm guitar parts from various songs, but if I had to choose one from the many to introduce Congolese music to a newcomer, I would surely pick this one. It is 100% african in every sense:

Congolese Music / Re: Can you help naming these OK Jazz members?« on: January 24, 2021, 11:19 »3) Franco Mongo. Joined after Franco’s death but died soon after. He was to fill Franco’s singing and lead/mi-solo role. Rumor has it he was cursed for filling Luambo’s shoes. That's why I found it odd this Franco Mongo guy is there in the video. I did not remember any musicians who looked like him, but I understand now. It is amazing how similar his voice is to Franco's. Only his manner is different. Diatho: indeed, the photos are a decade apart, but I have never wondered until now when checking that these two figures are actually one figure indeed. 8
Congolese Music / Re: This Zaiko sebene is so underrated« on: January 22, 2021, 22:45 »
I regret it turned out liket that. I understand though he has a private life as well. But when I heard Zaiko is returning to Kinshasa, I really missed he is no more with them. I remember the group that stayed in Europe was rehearsing for a while and had a song: Tata Yoyo, where he animated very well, his voice was still good. For me one of the best animators at that moment from the selection. I regret he disappeared like that. Tata Yoyo was a good song and they could have made it a hit. If they record more similar ones, that group could have success in Europe I am sure.

Or you mean in spite of he had not been present in the band for years, he was still planning to return with them to Kinshasa? I don't get this: who put the stones in Papy's suitcase? Himself or his mates? But why? To be late from the airport? When you check live videos from 2007-2008 Bidjana does not appear on them, mostly Papy and Doudou animating. I thought Bidjana left by that time. 10

The guitar is very good. But what I don't find very charming is the bass under it. Maybe that's why it did not catch the attention of people. But a good job from Daniel, indeed. Maybe it should be remixed with a bit more interesting bass.
That poliphony of the animators in the beginning od the sebene was a great idea indeed. Very exciting solution. By the way, who is this Bidjana? Where did he came from and where did he move to when leaving Zaiko? I did not hear anything about him except for a few Zaiko albums. 13

If it is true they should hire him again to direct.

So for me as a fan it is not a big problem that he left, especially if they manage to bring someone whom I will prefer more.Arafat is releasing a generique with Youyou Moubange. Ahh, this guy, Extra is not the same since he left. He had a character. 15

It's worth. It is full of interesting traditional melodies, a very good source for inspiration and learning. By the way, I just came to know that Manuaku is a big fan of this type of music as well.
