To put a face to a name. This guy has been a playboy for like 40 years now. One of the early Luanda diamond millionaires; he's financed all the the big artists.
When i was younger (and now) I used to go crazy when the sebene came, especially the when signature changement de fréquence of the shakers kicked in to complete the transition.
Two years when Koffi released 13ème, I thought it was absolutely ridiculous to have 4 CDs/40+ songs (still haven't listened to it in-full), now Chris Brown (soon others) have followed suit. Of course they do not pay direct attention to us, but it's interesting how Western black music eventually follows African music to a degree.
Critic complaints are the eactly same we have; monotony with too many songs sounding the same
I still waiting for the day they start doing Mabanga songs
The price rumored to be $700k after haggling with Mère Amazone. Apparently the place is falling into distress, and Koffi wants to perseve it and make into a museum of sorts.
My friend graciously took me to Wemba's (RIP) house a few years ago. Really, really nice house design by him and the amount of awards and picture with famous people was astounding.
Man, the amount of negative stories I've heard about Mère Amazone shocks me; it's like everyone in Kin has something bad to say about her.
"Un homme de 50ans... Toujours comme un petit garçon" - "A 50 yo man.... Always like a young boy". Then proceeds to call himself beau gosse, "minon" cute, and without equal.
Further embarrassment for Omarion, considered a has been. From BET:
Quote
It looks like Omarion got a taste of his own medicine. After the singer pulled out of his appearance at a press conference in Namibia at the last moment, his fans decided to hit back by boycotting his concert that was held in addition to the event.
Omarion was supposed to appear at the press conference prior to hitting the stage as part of his agreement. But due to a long flight, the singer backed out of the conference portion, citing exhaustion as the reason for the no-show.
Coincidentally, Omarion was able to regain his strength to show up to the concert. He was one of the only ones to attend though. Baller Alert posted photos from the event, showing a practically empty venue with around 20 people in attendance. Later in the night, Omarion captured the concert in a video on social media, showing a little more people. In the video, fans were seen screaming as they crowded around the stage. “As long as you had a good time,” he captioned the video.
While Omarion doesn’t have any new music out at the moment, the singer was in talks of appearing on a reunion tour with his former group, B2K. But those dreams quickly came crashing down when Lil Fizz announced that Omarion hadn’t returned any of his calls regarding the idea.
Benz Petrole is a parolier (famous composer), entrepreneur, and friend & consultant for the big stars. Which is why almost all of them have been featured on his albums. His style is a mix of OK Jazz odemba, Viva la musica, & Victoria Eleison.
Arranged by Awilo Longomba, Caen Madoka, and Benz Petrole. This is what I call perfect natural sound. The Awilo I was a big fan of (not that world/crossover stuff he does). Great rhumbas and powerful sebenes
