Congolese Music / Historians: Was Marie-Paul ever in QL?
« on: February 14, 2024, 20:45 »
I know at times you should take Wikipedia with a grain of salt, so I surprised to Marie-Paul’s name as a list of artists who found success from QL under Koffi’s entry.




Can anyone verify that he was with them? If true, are there any songs that he contributed to even as a BGV?

Congo got eliminated so there’s no point. He needs to let go of fimbu, how many times is he gonna remix it?


Aren’t they going for 3rd against South Africa

Congolese Music / Re: DYNASTIE 2 VOL 2 IS OUT!!
« on: October 30, 2023, 13:51 »
Congolese music doesn’t play in Congo nightclubs ndombolo is so dead in kin.

This is a grave mistake. IG videos and TikTok are being dominated by dance trends and ndombolo has found a resurgence outside of Africa via these platforms. Congolese are known for sebene and dancing. It’s frustrating that consumers are literally telling you what’s hot right now and you’re doing the total opposite. If Congo wants to be on top again, they need to tap in and really push dance challenges.

I just noticed that michel bass kinda confirmed the same thing,saying that ferre asked to have the same mix as an american artist which he made him listen to i think the idea behind it is that people often reproched him to stay  too much in pure rumba and be outdated so i think mixing that way gave something more "modern"

I’m a blues guitarist so this actually makes me extremely happy. It gives songs like Oza a nostalgic feel which sounds like hommage to 80s Tabu Ley and Afrisa. Le Padre went old school with this album. He often gives history lessons in Congolese music, something Fally doesn’t do.

Congolese Music / Re: WENGE BCBG PLANNING A TRIP TO USA?
« on: September 03, 2023, 10:45 »
If they come to DC or Raleigh I’ll be going. But I’m surprised they’re coming back after I heard they got jerked around by promoters the last time they toured here over 15 years ago.

Koffi doesn’t have it anymore and his decline is sad to watch. He should be riding into retirement and mentoring current stars, like telling Fally “kima te…” LOL. 

Seriously though, even in death his arch nemesis is globally respected. I’m not sure the same will be said about this man.

he was convinced Ferre was finished after his prison stint …

He’s not a good student of history. Franco Jossart and Papa Wemba rode a wave of popularity after being in custody. Héritier should know this.

Like the dude but he needs to relax and build his catalogue up. Ferre has been a solo artist for nearly 20 years. He’s paid his dues and it’s his time. Celebrate the win for the culture and put out more music.

The irony here is that for a long time during the beginning of his time with Wata, he claimed Paris as his home… ouch lol

It amazes me that this guy goes on TV dancing and promoting music while giving no f*ks about his arrest warrant in the US.

Oh so he got deported? Then there's nothing he could've done about it, not really his fault there.

Actually if it’s true then it is his fault. This isn’t the first time he’s toured the US and these countries in the west don’t play about immigration. Maybe Vieux Jossart can remind him how it works lol

Rest in Peace Mavuelas “Le Geant Catalogue”. He started to become a great songwriter when Papa Wemba formed Yoka Lokole. The band flopped in the first months,  but it became number one the moment Mavuela released his songs and the late Mbuta “Brown” Mashakado joined the band. From then also a leadership war starting of the two guys Mavuela Somo and Yaya Brown again Jules Presley ‘aka Wemba



Mavuelas biggest hit was “Bana Kin” that got him in trouble and indirectly ended his career. The authorities of the MPR-regime and Mobutu himself were thinking that it was about them while it was against Papa Wemba who also sung in the chorus but not being aware about it. The song got censored and Mavuela’s father got fired from work, Mavuela would get multiple problems and not being able to fight Wemba who just formed Viva La Musica. A lot of stuff happened behind the scenes (I recommend you to watch Shora Mukoko’s interview) which made Mavuela on the end decide to settle in Gabon



I was hoping to see Mavuela himself being interview by Marcel Landu or Chouna Mangondo to talk about Zaïko, Isifi Lokole, Yoka Lokole, why DV Moanda rejected him for a return in Zaïko, his exil in Gabon and reason why he became a brother in Christ for a moment. But it sadly never happened. There was an interview of him on Congonumber1 talking about Yoka Lokole and the war against Viva La Musica but it got removed from youtube



Rest In Peace

Rest in peace

SN: Why do we let white Europeans write our history when we have guys like you and Archos who can write detailed historic educational books on this and preserve legacies. I would certainly buy them. You just dropped some serious nuggets that I didn’t know. Thank you.

I hate all of the trolling he’s been doing on FB as of late all that talking out of his ass, but he’s right about the views, he just needs to stay consistent. If he’s serious, he needs to stay off social media and grow a thick skin. Let someone else run his accounts so he doesn’t have to answer to every critique with insults. His music should be doing the talking. On the other hand, we as fans thrive on competition but he only has three solo albums under his belt. That’s not real competition against Fally.

Congolese Music / Re: MARIE PAUL - RÉALITÉ CLIP OUT NOW
« on: November 01, 2022, 16:04 »
I like this and these days I find slow rhumbas to be boring and monotonous but this seems to be different and experimental for Marie Paul. Glad to see Le Roi Soleil in good health and working.

Christian Bombole is Christian Solo who used to play in the past for Wenge Maison Mère.

*Smacks forehead* Man I don’t know why I NEVER put two and two together. Makes sense because he’s the only one I’ve seen that’s worth watching.

Funny how, Ndombolo was once viewed as obscene and now it’s heavy in Christian music. same with hip hop and gospel in the US.

Christian Bombole is killing it right now on social media. He’s a Christian guitarist but he’s so good Japonnais himself endorsed him on his Facebook page.
