Congolese Music / Re: THIS FOR ME WAS THE MOST SHOCKING GÉNÉRIQUE IMO

For a usually mellow artist, back in 99-00 the aggressiveness of thé générique and the sebene songs made more of a shock to me than Cocktail. Theo Mbala’s versatility really shined along with Coréen Polystar

The rhythm gets me every time as well

Man, the Memories on this one!!

Animation was great and the overall album was very good.

Thanks Ndeko, I am going to dig up this from my archives.

I fell in love with her music when i heard this song in the then popular music program URTNA.I have never been able to getthe video for this song.

Yeah,

URTNA was the place to meet African stars them days.
I too have never seen a video of Vuluka Dilolo, especially the UTNA version.

Mamu Nationale was a Treasure and trailblazer for female musicians and she left a very clean record and legacy.
Rest in Power Tshala Muana Queen of Mutuashi....

Man, 25 minutes of dancing!!

They all did a great job Titina, Mbetenge and the others

This I like.

There are a number of very nolstagic cries in it and the guitar work is on Point.
Good Effort.

Congolese Music / Re: BARARK OBAMA A FAN OF CONGOLESE MUSIC

Nice to see

This follows.
I read in his autobiography how when he was young his father would put on a Lingala LP and would dance to it.
Obama said he was facinated at how the music would take his dad ot some trance-like state.
Probably some Luambo or Tabu Ley classics as they were the hot musicians of that time.
