Although liking Droit de Veto much. I would go for 'L. The album is just wow. They recorded the whole album Live from the start to the end and all tracks were excellent, while on Droit de Veto towards the end I would easily skip 2 or 3 songs.Maradona, Dezay and Ramazani did an excellent job. Others on would maybe not like this album, because of not being used to Viva's style which is without atalaku's and the album not being ndombolo.
I like the songs Veron Bompele and Muzangila much, but my favorite tracks on the album are Erreur, Recours and Couci Couca.
Pompom Miyake, Pathy Patchecko and Liberateur really had the freedom to express themselves. Wemba almost didn't participate, something which would be rare nowadays if bandleaders would allow their musicians to record albums. But back in those days it was normal. Koffi was critized for not letting singers like Suzuki, Babia and co sing songs by themselves on group-albums and singing all songs. I think that Koffi knew what he was doing. Knowing that it would difficult for them to establish a solo-career, having still that image on Koffi on them. Other bandleaders like JB Mpiana and Werrason (despite having the label of grand formateur) also adopting it.
The subjects of Couci Couca (Pathy's vocal on that song really touched me) and the track Ba Yankee ya Sika were really intresting. The funny thing is that Bendoson wasn't able to dominate the rest like on the previous album, despite having three songs (Erreur, Ba Yankee ya Sika and Veron Bompele co written with Itshari). I think that it would be different if he sung the songs by himself. From the album a rivalery would start between Pathy Patecheko and Bendoson, created by the staff of Wemba in Kinshasa. They weren't happy that someone from Masina was dominating Matonge and them pushing Pathy who was from Matonge to disrespect Bendoson often openly, like the way they were using Bendo to do it to Reddy Amisi. After Fula Ngenge it would become Alpatchino vs Bendoson.
That's a very good point, that explains why Sam barely sang on Miss Nicole, Willy Bula on Petit Na London, and so on. Just the little space they had, you could see the dimension in did for their public image. I'll have to relisten to 'L, I do like Wemba!
It's sad state of affairs with current groups in Congolese music. Fally barely promotes F'Victeam, I don't know any of the singers in Team Wata, why is this? Do they share the same complex as Koffi and Werra? Even then, it doesn't seem like Team Wata or F'Victeam take the initiative to promote themselves in the way that Masion Mere used to (Ferre, Bill, JDT, ect).
Also, Sam Tshintu was the only singer in Quartier Latin who did not have a vocal in his song Shambouyi, but there is some songs in Danger de Mort that Koffi barely sang on like L'Heure a Sonne, Ba Lobiens, & Diviser Par Deux. Also, some songs in L is good, like Extra Garde & Sourate.
I have not listened to 'L, but I will give my review on Droit de Veto. 1 thing I did not like about Droit de Veto is that there were too many sebenes in that album. Why did they put that many sebenes in the album? Also, if Sam Tshintu was the Chef d'Orchestre at the time, why did he not get a song on the album? 2. Even though there were many sebenes in Droit de Veto, they were good, with my favorites being Rond Point, Urgence, Droit de Veto, Shopping, Retour Riva, Nyandja, & Rafiki. Also, I wonder what the video clips would look like, if they did proper clips for that album, & recorded all of the clips. Droit de Veto was truly the end of the era of a generation, with many members leaving, but Koffi would remain supreme with his album Attentat, & reached his zenith of his career with Bercy.
In my personal opinion it is Heritier because of the quality of his last released album, his follow up single and features , quality of his live performances too. Thoughts?
It is hard to determined for the voice Ferre Gola but Ferre lacks the professionalism that a Fally has, Fally professionalism wise is the best but it seems that he lost drive/his fans take whatever he produces as gold so it is hard. Heritier was really good w8th his first Album forgot the name the one with BM on it, I guess it was Carriere D'H9nneur? But then even tho he took more effort to generiques unlike Ferre who have always have weak generique except for Sens Interdit, his rhumba became bland, Deplick get slept on a lot and also Fabregas had some really good rhumbas so voice wise is Ferre, but tbh if Fally.or Heritier wake up they can take his spot because both they are way more professional then him
That was an awkward smile not smiling because shes enjoying it & she even tried to move away. Come on now keep it real & stop making excuses for him.
Brom i am the last person who can make excuse for that silly old men. I am probably one of the biggest critics/hater/notstanders of Koffi. I don't like him, I don't like his personality his behavior is weird he is jealous he ruined a woman's chance to be a normal woman to make her permanent second wife etc. But let's not accuse people of things they haven't done. Maybe that girl and him had already interc*urse before and he touched her behind what do we know about it? Plus if I am a woman and an undesired person touched my behi d Smiling is the last thing I would do.
Fally is only the most famous Congolese Musician because of the Afropop stuff. If Fally never did those Pop stuff & just did Rumba like Ferre Gola, then Fally would be on the same level as Ferre is.
How do you guys feel about this band? They were good for the 1st few weeks, but now I am beginning to not like them anymore because they are not his real band. Why could not use his band in Africa? Would he tour with this band in the Americas or other places?
