Roberto Ekokota vs. Nono Atalakou Mombélé "L'empereur". Wenge Musica 4x4 BCBG vs. Zaiko Langa Langa
The orginal atalakou vs. the hottest atalakou of the early 90's. Roberto was way too hot to handle so he won by popular decision. The crowd fanning him and throwing money while he's performing
It's so nice to see how happy everyone was here and having fun. This is the happiest I've ever seen Werrason on stage
Man time has not been too kind to the sound quality. Like Solola Bien, the solo often sounds like mid-solo. I wonder why Al Nzimbi tuned percussions (snares specifically) the way he did. Most of the time the album sounds like they recorded it in a tin can.
The superb vocals & compositions by the Maison Mère dream is what saves the album. Every time I listen to Kibuisa I think "legendary"; everything was perfect. But this album, most times I can't listen in full.
It was recorded at Studio Guillaume Tell, a prestiugous Paris studio and the great Al Nzimbi was arrangeur, so I' don't understand how the sound was so subpar.
*Side note, this album and period (Koyimbiko) was the highpoint of Celeo's career.
It's great that Congolese music has infiltrated French popular music, but the negative side is that they're stealing artistic property and making it theirs. All (literally) the choreography from this song comes sebene portion Force de Frappe - Au Secours of Binda Bass. This is due to the lack of herdity in genre.
Then the western audience watches and thinks they created a new amazing dance. Lots of other examples, but this is the clearest
His interview with Ado Yuhe was so insightful about all things Wenge, but was unfortunately deleted. Finally he has returned to recount the entire orginal Wenge story again from start-to-finish.
I would never question anything he or "Fondé" Didier Masela has to say regarding Wenge history. All these years I never knew Kija was the inverse of his name Jaki (Jackie), and Brown was given to him by JB
So much information - like Werrason the childhood drummer in Celio stars.
A late 2013 release, but my strong feeling is that it flew under the radar, so some of you guys not have heard it yet. I think it's great, but why was Equaliser invited? 5 sec of him and you realize why things didn't work out after leaving Fally.
Somono Dolce Mboshi Lipasa CNN Equaliser
Champion Esthétique Solo: Ramazani & Felly Tyson (he's namechecked by Champion) Accompa: Fofo Le Collégien Bass: Binda Bass "Roberto Carlos"
Sounds like it was recorded in Studio NRJ, Ramazani's home base In recent years. So he's probably the arranger as well.
