Congolese Music / Ballads or Rumba
« on: January 31, 2023, 16:50 »
For the first half of 4x4 I noticed that for the singing portion of the songs a lot of their songs in the first albums lacked the congolese flavor and felt more like maybe european based ballads ? Would anyone agree and could anyone that was there at the time be able to enlighten me on the impact of wenge at the time. I just have a hard time understanding why they were the chosen ones when I listen back to their earlier stuff like bouger bouger, kin e bouger and the likes. What was revolutionary was it their movement outside of the music? Was it the sebenes? Was it JB’s voice?(which i never thought was the best voice in wenge, i always thought mpela was the best singer)

Congolese Music / Wenge Musica Aile Paris
« on: July 11, 2021, 17:32 »
Am I the only one to this day that still thinks that Molangi Ya Malasi is superior to every other Wenge Musica 4x4 albums? I think sonically their musicians were better and also think they had way better vocalist. I’ll take bula mbemba and roi pele vocally over jb and bula.

Also feel as though Wenge 4x4 was more pop and Aile Paris was more authethic especially when it comes to Rumbas

Congolese Music / Maitre Gims Documentary
« on: September 27, 2020, 02:05 »
Just finished the netflix documentary on Maitre Gims. It gave me a lot of insight on the person that he is. In the documentary it said that Djuna Djunana was close to
The Mobutu regime in the 70s and 80s but did a song against the regime in 88 and therefore had to runaway to France with his family. Has anyone ever heard that before or does anyone know what that song might be. Also I was surprised to find out that Maitre Gims was homeless in Paris during his late teens and his father that lived in the same city had no idea. That shocked me and really pierced my heart. While his dad was playing the perfect dad with his other wife his mother was struggling

Congolese Music / Under the radar albums
« on: August 16, 2020, 04:04 »
We all know of the more famous albums from the more famous members or ex-members of our beloved groups. Wanted to highlight those albums that go under the radar maybe due to the fact they didnt get enough promotion or the timing at which they came out.

Manda Chante with the album “Je suis” that came out in 2016. Never heard of this album until I randomly fumbled on it. First few songs are okay but the album really hits another dimension starting with Comme Toujours. The following song Socrate is for me the highlight of that album and is followed by 3-4 great songs. All in all I believe it is a very successful album musically speaking.


Also wanted to speak about Celeo Scram with the album “Ici c’est Paris”. I dont remember hearing about it at the time it came out but randomly stumbled upon that one as well and was PLEASANTLY surprised. My favorite songs on there are Wenze ya Minzemba, Amour Chinois and Ambulance.


What are some underground or under the radar albums you guys would recommend ?

Congolese Music / What language is this Bozi Boziana song in
« on: July 26, 2020, 13:51 »
What language is this Bozi Boziana song in? Starting around 3min mark I notice that its not in Lingala no more or at least doesnt sound like it. Wondering if that was the Mongo languange or maybe a Kongo language perhaps but I doubt that.

Congolese Music / Atalaku Animation Translation/Traduction
« on: August 29, 2019, 01:20 »
Hello ndekos, was just listening to one of those compilations from kindule on youtube and I was listening to the mboshi lipassa compilation video where all his animations are gathered. From a non lingalaphone perspective, it just struck me that it’d be really interesting if an atalaku/animation verse could be translated top to finish some day to get an idea of what really consists of animation. l also usually wonder if the verse is a mix of kikongo, lingala and tshiluba or just Lingala; it’s be pretty interesting to know those tidbits of extra information as well. Nonetheless sebenes/animation will forever have a special place in the heart or all africans top to bottom. Thank you Ndekos.
