Congolese Music / Re: NOUVEL HORIZON NEW EP IS OUT
« on: December 15, 2023, 10:25 »
The generique Eboka and seben song Leva have strong starts but get ruined by that monotonous beat in the 2nd half of those tracks. For Eboka, first 3 minutes were great, and for Leva, first 5 minutes were perfection, then the flow gets ruined for both tracks. This was the same issue I had with the 242 album where they just kept making changes to the the track that make no sense(EX: MM international).

I think it may be Sonor Digitals odd way of using his partitions. It seems like he saves 1 or 2 good partitions for each generique/sebene track instead of going out all out on a track. That’s why it always feels like something is missing with Nouvel Horizons music. Not sure if it’s lack of creativity or just an odd direction, or just trying to make viral music for those tik tok dance challenges. It can easily be fixed if they just try to be like the old Extra Musica albums.

Right like now he wants to create a sebene song but it’s for a campaign song smh… like why can’t the donors also ask for a sebene song smh.

From what I've seen, a lot of donors are on the older side – 40 years old and older. That age group is gravitates to rhumbas more than sebene songs, that's not to say they don't like to dance.

The younger generation prefer songs that copy the Afro-beats esthetic, so it's pressure from both sides of the generation to move away from the sound we miss.

That’s understandable. What group would you say were in? Like the 20s and 30s? I guess that’s the overlooked audience with the least influence and power

Congolese Music / Re: DYNASTIE 2 BONUS GENERIQUE IS OUT
« on: November 21, 2023, 03:17 »
Ekoyebana fooled us into thinking that he can deliver on Sebene front like he does with rhumba. It went downhill from there. This is very weak along with the unreleased générique with Bill.

The other F does has a strong track record of decent génériques

It’s as if the artists are so big that nobody can give them constructive criticism with fear of being fired or 12´d. The likes of Ambroise Mvundi, Sec Bidens, Al Nzimbi used to straight tell an artist if the song was garbage and the proceed to help them correct it.

Agreed

I really like the generique and Zozo track. The rest of the album is the usual rhumba you hear on every album.

Is that the generique that replaced the bill Clinton one? What a disappointment! You just had to ruin it Bill Clinton!

Why everybody hating on Makaba? Can someone give me the full details of his solo? Actual music created by him?

Your opening  gambit about hating on him is wrong but you're asking the right questions........like you I also want to know what he created so I'll wait

Yeah you sound like a Makaba hater. He’s actually really good. He only really gets opportunities during repetitions and concerts. Werrason doesn’t give any opportunities to soloists anymore other than the usual generique or so. So it’s mostly Werrasons fault for not letting him reach his full potential on albums.

I’m sorry but I really do miss Makaba. He’s a lot more creative than these guys. They’re all just playing the notes and there’s no improv

Did he say who the lead guitarist is now?

This is the soloist recruited three months ago

Ong Back Solo!



Ong Back Solo doesn't convince me. Im surprised a lot of you aren't fans of Makaba. He's improved a lot since he first came. I like his aggressive and simple style, and the fact he doesn't try too hard to be like Kapaya. If you listen to the repetitions from the last couple years Makaba did a great job. Only maybe Sarah solo can come back but im not sure.

Freddy Movadi: Ong Back Solo Vs Makabe

Ong Back Solo:  Starts at 15:44



Makaba solo: Starts at 20:20



It's not even close. Makaba is way better and Ong Back Solo should stay at rhythem. They need to find a better replacement.
