I thought about this the other day and after listening to Heritier’s new Chemin album, I have to say this. I really think guys like Fally or Ferre could save this genre if they really wanted to. If you know me, you know exactly where I’m going with this but hear me out.

Fally and Ferre are the ones that are at the top right now and everybody follows suit. Whatever they do, the rest of the artists and bands follow them. So right now, they both create 1 or 2 generiques, and the rest are rhumbas mostly for their albums. That’s the standard format for the last 20 years almost and albums like Droit Chemin solidified it. By the mid 2010s, it kind of changed a little bit. When Fally released power 001 in 2013. It had like 3 or 4 generiques. Then you saw artists release numerous generiques for their albums and it was a great time during that period. Even guys like werra and Koffi released a good number of generiques and even seben songs in their albums in those years.

By the time Ecole releases in 2018, the format goes back to 1-2 generiques, the rest rhumba. The rest of the genre follows suit and it has been downhill from there. Now here we are today.

Now, Fally or Ferre have the power to change things. They could just aim for their next album to have fully generiques and seben, very little rhumba. Not just plain seben songs. Really strong seben songs, with strong animations and partitions that are on the level of the golden days, and to top it off with a new modern and innovative approach. If they did that, I bet everyone would follow suit too. Guys like werra and Koffi would definitely go back to that format too. Then the genre is saved, and fally or Ferre would truly be the GOATS.

The donors.. yes the donors. I think if fally/ferre really wanted to do a seben album, they could convince the donors. The fact that fally/ferre and the other artist don’t see the value in seben is what led to the donors to believe that as well. Now I know they wouldn’t take this risk because they would rather play it safe, that’s why I’m so disappointed in this generation. They have the power, but they just don’t use it the right way. Time will pass them by and they will lose this opportunity. Just like with the last generation in the late 2000s(werra,Koffi,JB). They don’t have the same power now that they did 20 years ago. The same thing will happen to Fally/Ferre.

Let me know what you guys think. I know I might be ridiculous here but I wanted to throw this out there and hear your thoughts on this.

Congolese Music / So was Werrasons London concert cancelled?

I thought they were supposed to perform in a theater? I saw that they were in a small gym. Was it the stupid combatants again?

I just have a few questions about the Wenge reunion album. When does it come out? Also, how do you think the format will be? With it have generiques and seben? Or will it just be another rhumba-filled album? I'm concerned because I think the donors will ruin the album with their rhumba requests which defeats the purpose of the album. I would even prefer remixes of the original songs over new rhumba. What do you guys expect?

He will be uploading 2 more GHK concerts from 2005, and hopefully Zenith 2003 soon, if I am lucky.

Despite the bad quality, this version sounds amazing! It reminds me of the 2001 Cirque Royal concert. Does anybody know the story behind this? Hope we can find better quality of this someday.

The Wenge El Paris 2007 album Yebela Vision. Can't find it anywhere and was wondering if anyone on here has it and would mind sharing it on here. Seems like a very rare album. Thanks.

Wasn't there supposed to be an Extra Musica concert at Bataclan back in March? Was it cancelled? Was it because of the combattants? Never heard anything of it ever since they released the album.
