There was a time Celeo was on top of his game and had memorable animations. These two are always on repeat. Celeo can maintain on his own for a generique or two.
If you were to vote for one for the animation hall of fame which of these two will it be?
Also, Mboka Liya Burkina Faso Vs. Flamme Kapaya who played better in these two generiques?
The atalaku at 3:45 has been with Bill since his first album...I wonder what drives his allegiance with Bill, knowing that he could've tested with other bands and possibly make it. After all Jamaique was part of Bill's band...
May her soul rest in peace...she's has always been a favorite of mine. I remember hearing a song from her in 85 or 86. Even though I don't understand lingala. parts of the song still stuck with me...u we waka lu waka lulu e waka lulu In the video, she was wearing the traditional straw skirt and had beads on her waist...(the things I remember...lol) I'm still looking for the song up till today. I never knew the title of the song. If anyone knows please share...
Wazekwa is like the congo brazzaville of RDC...everything sounds the same, no matter who the atalakou is. he needs to do a regular generique once just to switch things around.
Band management in Congolese music is a mess. Wenge Musica MM would never have been great if there was no Ferre, Celeo, Bill,Heritier and others. Leaders have to see this and use this rational to promote and reward members. If Fally claims that he does 80% of the work on his albums, does he ask for their contributions or just uses them to sing the chorus? That's all part of band management. Basically Fally Ipupa is F-Victeam but F-Victeam is not Fally Ipupa. Looks like those band members will always need to have second jobs to survive.
Adolphe overshadowed Werra in the early years of WMMM. he was dominant in Intervention Rapide and Solala Bien with the dedications. If you want to prove that you're the leader, you have to show it. Werra did what needed to be done before he lost WMMM to Adolphe.
