Congolese Music / WOULD THIS GÉNÉRIQUE HAVE GOTTEN MUCH MORE ATTENTION IF?« on: May 05, 2017, 05:04 »
He were... erm, Congolese? Kilebu, the dancer célèbre from the Ndombolo era:
Frankly, I like this better than most of the recent releases from the famous artists. The great Sec Bidens had a hand in the arrangement, so the sound is excellent 753
Congolese Music / THE BEST LIVE RENDITION OF A GÉNÉRIQUE?« on: May 04, 2017, 04:00 »Meaning literally the générique from the album in live, nothing added. Most live génériques usually have other génériques mixed in or are improvised. It helps that it's the same personnel from the album and the fact the original générique was also recorded live. I tried to think of other live génériques, but nothing comes close 754
Congolese Music / A RECENT SONG FROM GENE DEFAO THAT'S BEEN ON REPEAT FOR MONTHS« on: May 03, 2017, 07:28 »
From the excellent Anytime. If I were to get song in my name, I would make a special request for this uptempo style:
Something that's become very rare nowadays, all songs on Anytime were composed by Defao himself. 755
Congolese Music / MOBUTU SESE SEKO REINCARNATED« on: April 30, 2017, 07:28 »
Wow, I'm amazed. Everything single thing is on point
If anyone is planning to make a Mobutu biopic in the future call this guy first 756
Congolese Music / IT'S APRIL 30TH (QQJD).....« on: April 30, 2017, 05:44 »
And no sign of the album being released today. It gets a bit frustrating when all the artists announce and hype dates, only to go completely silent when the day arrives.
Instead the acoustic/classical "1789" concert from a few years ago has finally been released on CD/streaming. Definitely worth a listen https://itun.es/us/HcgLib 757

Congolese Music / HEARD A SERIOUS REVELATION FROM MY NIECE ABOUT WASENGA KIMPUNI & WERRA« on: April 28, 2017, 05:13 »She says her friend, Irene and her family refuses to associate with Werrason and all Wenge associates because they are convinced her father was sacrificed. He was healthy, then all the sudden he became very ill and passed in 2010 (RIP). You guys would have heard his name a lot in Werra's album since they were childhood best friends (along with JB, Ambassador Kija Brown, Depitsho, and co). He had an influential administrator role in Wenge MM. 759
Congolese Music / AT TIMES I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF HOW POWERFUL SOLOLA BIEN! GENERIQUE IS« on: April 27, 2017, 07:53 »
Meilleur generique et clip de l'an 2000:
« 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Attaquer! » Say what you will about the issues with the (rushed) programming job, namely Flamme’s muffled solo … when a song hits legendary status, that stuff doesn’t matter. Turned out to be Papy Kakol's grand arrival Who would've known during that period that the big 4 were setting the bar too high because of fierce competition... 760
Congolese Music / IN HONOUR OF PAPA WEMBA: YOUR FAVORITE M'ZEE NUMBERS« on: April 25, 2017, 20:27 »
It's very difficult to narrow the list to a few. He has the highest percentage of "good" music compared to all the other artists, save probably Tabu Ley and Franco

Congolese Music / QUARTIER LATIN & KOFFI - SEBENE AMBIANCE/MICKO (SPRING 2000)« on: April 24, 2017, 06:28 »
The golden era:
Jipson, Fally, Tupac Mamale ,Eric Tutsi, Lola Muana CNN & Ocean Ebale Solo: Felly Tyson Rhythm: Ridens Makosso Bass: Binda Bass Percussion: Esthétique Mbonda: Passé Kosse No synthesizer I'm not 100% certain, but I believe this was at WOMAD 2000. Hence the very lean musician lineup 765

Always loved the natural sound; the grand finale for Quartier Latin International.
