Hope they do new stuff in the generiques coz this Zaiko stuff is already expired before it's even released,JB is useless.
bro they have completely reworked generiques i dont think there is or will ever be a group with that much generiques finished then sent to trash or kept private,but i think we should not expect something too agressive,thats not in bcbg's DNA,the most agressive they ever tried was quel est ton probleme and it probably the biggest flop they had in terms of return but definitely something good can be expected,the only question mark always remaining is the recording and particularly the way drums are set,drum sound can completely change a generique for the better or the worse(example metro's generique with the typical ndiaye setting of jp kys it would completely change the dimension of the generique)
Quel est ton probleme was their most aggressive generique? No wonder it is my favorite one from BCBG. I did not know it was a flop but I did have a feeling that many preferred Kipe ya yo which was more monotonous in my opinion.
The thing that annoys me is that the genre continues to decline and they arent doing anything about it. They know the golden era was the late 90s early 2000s but they continue to keep doing the same thing these past 10 years. I dont think there is anyone that was as strong as Tabu Ley that can criticize the music today. There is way more rhumba these days than there ever was seben even when it was at its peak!
Bla Bla Bla was good but I think Bendele had better partitions.The fact that Bla Bla Bla had older partitions in it made Bendele seem like a better-suited generique for that era
Must be because of not a big producer like Diego Music, Badive, Manu Luvaka or Eti Kumbukusu having promoted the DVD. Also the show hadn't a huge impact.
That's honestly a missed opportunity for the big producers since they promoted smaller events around that time.
I remember after Werra's Zenith of 2008, Sankara de Nkuta mocking Koffi about their Zenith being a huge mpiaka (which was true) and claiming that the concert-promoter deciding not to release the DVD, because of that. Francis Kakonde then (I don't know if I became a pro-Koffi journalist or was sended by Koffi-fans) went in the next volume to a shop (I think Eti Kimbukusu) and then found the rare DVD of Koffi at Zenith '07, which made Werra's camp mad and for a moment being in war against journalist Francis Kakonde, while just did his job.
from 3:18 min (from 5:17 min also a little shot to BCBG who a had little tour the same year)
Btw is Werrason a defender of LGBT rights in Congo? Because look at his clothes.
Can someone explain to me why Congolese have moved to mostly rumbas? They make a powerful generique but the resort to rumbas only. This album was rumba started to about halfway where I stopped.
He needs to stop animation and let the real animators do their work. He's trying to modernize the style he had in the 80s where he animates everything. He took the animator criticism too hard in the mid 2000s
