Very interesting explanation. We all know the story but him saying ndombolo is a family affair definitely puts it in perspective. Bouro in QL, Alain in Wenge and that famous clip of the two young boys dancing at JB Mpiana’s concert turning out to be Bouro and Alain’s little brothers. I never knew the little boys were their brothers until much later

Wow that song is dope. Somebody should make a thread with
All traditional music that’d be dope. Also shoutout to koffi, original poster is right about Koffi promoting languages from the back country. So many languages and songs that could be remade or inspired from 20

Congolese music needs new artist and those new artists need to be pushed, thats what brings fresh blood and creativity. French rap has bout 10 new artists per year same with us rap. In the last ten years we’ve had innoss b gaz mawete mpr rebo but na filet . How can music genre evolve with 90% of the industry being people that all have 30 some years in the game

Congolese Music / Re: Wenge Musica Aile Paris« on: July 15, 2021, 01:39 »Although Molangi ya Malasi is Ricoco Bulambemba's solo album, I prefer it above Nganga Nzambe. Its has that old Paris-sound, mixing Soukous with the authentic Congolese music-genre, which is quite rare, while Nganga Nzambe is a copy of Victoria Eleison mixed the old Anti-Choc stye. Thats exactly how I feel about it. Its my favorite outta the 1st wenge generation for sure sonically. I understand Wenge 4x4 had a much greater impact culturally but sonically that album is immaculate. Wenge 4x4’s rumbas just never do it for me. Honestly i know its a hot take but id take a lot of peoples rumbas over 4x4. To me the only reason why wenge became what it was is because of the sebene parts thanks to ekokota 24

Kinda wish it was a more famous artist and not underground/alternative act. Seeing Koffi or Fally or even Ferre there would have been dope in all seriousness. Who cares if they woulda talked bout it for 10 years. These artists put their entire life into the music if they catch a blessing so be it we should be happy for them and our culture as a whole instead of saying thank god it wasnt them we’d never hear the end of it

Am I the only one to this day that still thinks that Molangi Ya Malasi is superior to every other Wenge Musica 4x4 albums? I think sonically their musicians were better and also think they had way better vocalist. I’ll take bula mbemba and roi pele vocally over jb and bula.
Also feel as though Wenge 4x4 was more pop and Aile Paris was more authethic especially when it comes to Rumbas 26

Are you sure ? Im in the states and no one here knows who Papa Wemba is. Does the average white person know who he is in England? Because lets be clear the world music is not for black people its for the whites. The average guy in Mali is gonna pick a real wemba album before he picks a world album and same with the guy in burkina faso and the guy from senegal. Hell the only song of Wembas thats made it into a french movie (Black Mic Mac) was not a world song but i believe it was Matebu or Proclamation.
I personally think foreigners like authentic stuff more than the stuff thats catered to them. Ive bumped into people in the states here, white people, that knew Franco. Franco never did world music his music was authentic. And last point, nobody knows emeneya outside of the congolese diaspora. His world endeavors never helped him i dont believe. He was barely talked about in france by the press and when he did it was the middle of the ndombolo era and the average american or english white person has NO idea who he is trust me. He’s only a world artist to congolese. The world album is just so they can sit in front of the french TV press and have more ease to talk about the music. Dilute it so its easier on the new listener, which just never works, sorry to say. If someone is gonna like congo music or stumble upon congo music are they gonna prefer Tokoss or Control, be real. 30
