Congolese Music / Bijoux Bass - Tutorial DVD Fundraiser
« on: January 23, 2024, 20:16 »
My friend is in Congo and is collecting money to make a DVD video lesson with Bijoux Bass of Zaiko. They need to collect 500GBP. If you would like to donate please message me in private message here in the forum, any little amount helps. You will get a free copy of the lesson once it is released. I will notify you about that.

Thanks in advance!

Congolese Music / Fundraiser for a guitar for Mboka Liya
« on: January 11, 2024, 06:32 »
You may know guys I am in contact with Mboka Liya, and  I told him about a special guitar, and since then he is absolutely excited about that. Recently I am not on top financially, if I had some spare money I would buy it for him right away. But that guitar is rare, and I was lucky to have found it just now in England, where he lives. It would be a very good chance to buy it now, as I wouldn't need to ship the guitar to him from abroad, that would mean 2-300 GBP extra cost. I decided to  ask you guys about whether you would be willing to donate for that guitar? I can assure you it is something you haven't seen before and represents a whole new spectrum that has not been seen in Congolese music yet.

The guitar costs 710GBP with shipping. Me, I can donate 50GBP alone, if there would be another 13 participant who would be willing to donate 50GBP, I could buy the guitar right away.

The donation would go to my PayPal account, maybe partly to my bank account in the UK or US to avoid tax. You know me guys well from here, I won't steal that money, cos where would I hide as the admin? As soon as the money is there I buy the guitar. If the purchase fails for any reason, like someone buys it sooner, I send you the money back to where it came from.

Contact me in private if you would be willing to donate, if 13 person apply, I send the details out for everyone to what to do and also create a follow up post here.

In return the minimum that I can offer is that Mboka will of course mention the names of the donators on one of his new songs or even albums if he creates a full disk of songs, plus I can send out his 2 DVD lessons in downloadable form for free to anyone who donates.

Congolese Music / Re: Rest in Peace Empereur Nono

This one is my favourite from him. Interestingly he animated this in spite of that he stayed with Nyoka Longo originally, and did not leave with the others. I wonder how that happened?

But that is the Google database I guess. Checking the Street View it is suspicious they closed.

The link to attach should be there under the textbox. Like this, encircled in the photo below. Are you sure the link is not there for you? If not, send me a screenshot so I can see.

Congolese Music / Diego Music in Paris open or closed?
« on: December 21, 2023, 08:25 »
There was a shop called Diego Music at this address in the past:
53 Rue des Poissonniers, 75018 Paris

Recently I inquired about a release from a shopkeeper in that district, and he directed me to Diego Music. But when I check in Google Street View it seems to me that shop is closed. Do you have any info about that shop?
