Congolese Music / I JUST REALISED I LIVE UNDER A ROCK

« on: August 05, 2020, 21:38 »

Been listening to a couple of songs from Innocent Balume aka Innos B ... huh .... he actually has some good music.
Not my cup of tea, but looking at the quality of today's music, I will take it.

Can someone give a history of this guy? It does not look like he came from the traditional Congolese Background of breaking away from a big band?

I see there is a second set of V12 videos for some of the songs. Was there a reason for this?
Also, what concert was being shown in the little snippets for this song? the concert where the dancers are dancing... I have never seen that concert before.

Congolese Music / Stupid Question

« on: May 12, 2018, 16:32 »

Hi there,

Please help me understand this thing where Congolese musicians perform with Clothes that still have tags??

Is it to show that the clothing is expensive? Do they plan to return the clothing afterwards??

Congolese Music / GATE LE COIN - AWILO LONGOMBA

« on: January 23, 2018, 17:53 »

Might i ask? In the video, i thought i saw Alain Mpela dancing, but i might be wrong?

If so, is there no such clause in singer contracts that prevents someone from participating in a similar project?

Congolese Music / MUSIC INSTRUMENTS

« on: June 18, 2017, 13:36 »

May someone help.me understand? When these artists/groups have concerts, how do they carry their instruments around? Is it the responsibility of the promoters to provide instruments? I always wonder... you have an artist who is originally from Kin, but performing in Europe etc? Do they actually fly with their kit and is it not expensive?

Congolese Music / WHO IS THIS PERSON IN CONGOLESE MUSIC?

« on: August 05, 2016, 17:29 »

I notice that most artists mention this name in this name in their songs/music. I am not sure if I spelt it right, it sounds something like ''Costi Ekaa''

Who is this person and how influential has this person been in Congolese Music?
