Congolese Music / To think this banger is already 15 years old« on: December 20, 2019, 21:46 »So I was listening to Alerte Generale, because I thought some bass lines were similar to Attentat's and I needed to be sure. As I kept listening, I realised that every instrument on it was on point. This has Flamme Kapaya's aggressive, fast-paced guitar playing, backed up by Thierry Mogratana's organ-sounding mi-solo and Polystar keeping it together on the rhythm. Then you have Michel Bass playing in a fashion that would make Lofombo smile in glee, Papy Kakol being as energetic as ever on the drums and Rubin Synthe playing danceable partitions that would rival that of Jeremy Kitubu and Theo Bidens. Admittedly, Celeo's 'bako kende, bako zonga' cry was not enough to counter Bill Clinton's 'muziki ba koko wana, elala' cry on 7eme Lecon, but the overall energy from this Maison Mere unit and the introduction of the young Roi David was more than enough to make up for it. There was a reason you heard this at almost every Congolese party for the next few years. Werrason really had to prove to the public that he still had it after the split, and Alerte Generale was the statement that screamed 'We're not done yet!' 45
