That's Yoka Choc. They've been around in Tokyo since 1986 (big year for Congolese music there) and have been "confirmé" by Zaiko, Wemba, and Kester. They have very genuine passion for the genre and have contributed greatly to the artists that have been to Japan - venue planning, lodging, paying for equipment, etc.
I have two of their albums and they're pretty good - mostly original compositions. I think we shouldn't always get mad when people of different skin/ethnicity to on our genre. The Jamaicans don't seem to mind all that much with Reggae
as far as i know none,to the last last seat maybe matebu who was at koffi's if i remember well can say something,but i always heard that only youssou ndour in africa fills it 100 per cent
I was able to attend his 2001 Zenith. I still wish I could go back in time and attend Bercy
The stage for Werra Bercy is seemingly more forward than Koffi's or JB. Stage design at Werra's Bercy was also non-existant
For Youssou's annual Bercy "Grand Bal" he filled the venue the first couple years then he movie the stage forward so the front row surrounds him. So attendance was probably <12k. He still attracts big crowds, but it's a bit less than before.
Wow, look how humbly he taveled to the venue and came on stage - such a classy guy. Our artists in comparison either came from the sky (Koffi ) or was carried onto the venue in a throne (Wemba)
What is CNN saying during at the 5:28 minute part of the song and what is the chorus chanting back in response? This has always been my favorite part of this generique, the sebene by Felly Tyson is severely underrated! My lingala is limited lol
It’s actually not lingala. « Imbess » comes from a Coupé decale song coincidentally. Wasn’t really a good look for Koffi because coupé décalé was causing the demise for our genre
^ one could swear that clip is Extra’s Shalai clip watching on mute. Flagrant ripoff
kiekie, John Wayne Dominguez Trinita at the begining. That cowboy strut walk at end of that first portion (7:10-) got me dying In good spirits despite what happened, others would've given a war declaration immediately
Le Chouchou de tout le monde received a hero's welcome, naturally
Haha, you guys remember the rumours that Olivia was a man? That shut her career down with the quickness right after she left G Unit. By the time she did the feat with Fally she was beyond irrelevant. Fally was doing her a favor
Game was a savage when he left G Unit. lmao, their polemic dvds were the equivalent of JB/Koffi in 2001 G Unot
Ferre, Werra, and JB need to hit the gym some time my God that libumu
Haha, they like having the chief/leader belly though. It’s not good for their long term health- case in point so many artists having died in their 40’s/50’s/60’s
