Congolese Music / Re: EXTRA MUSICA SPLIT
« on: December 29, 2019, 18:48 »
The biggest surprise for me is that Oxygéne disappeared like that. I know he released a solo album lately, but he is not on the scene as much as he was when being in Extra. He would have deserved a bigger career with his voice. Just like Papy Bastin, but he is at least trying to stay in focus more or less.

I wonder why they did not stay in Paris, like Guy Guy Fall and Quentin, those two managed to build up a kind of career there. Indeed, when you are alone in Congo, it is not easy to stay on the scene. However in Europe, musicians are always searching for voices.

This is a bit off topic, but what about that guy Regis Tuba? As I remember he is already on the Confirmation album, and maybe even from the 1st album. But I also remember as if I heard his name in different fractions, and even on the La Main Noire album.  Is he still in any of the groups?

Congolese Music / Re: Your favourite album of all time.

For me Trop C'est Trop by Extra Musica, both artistically and technically.

Kin E Bougé is a very good album indeed. The studiowork is also good. The engineers back then did a great job to make this early album sound so good. Big luck so that we can enjoy those songs in that quality. Many albums of that era, especially paris soukous ones are not very well mixed.

I tell you what these guys could make themselves a competition for Roga for sure: if they would add the old singers to the group who can still sing well. Like Papy Bastin, Doudou Copa. Fans would go mad I am sure. Oxygéne himself is a trademark voice of the Extra sound as well. I am not sure though he still sings well.

When did Levyson join them by the way? It seems to me he is already present on the Primus clip that was shot at the time of Obligatoire.

I have a suspicion they left because of the money. Probably not only because of this, but also because of this. I doubt they stayed loyal to Roga up to this point only because of friendship or a vision. In the hard circumstance Congolese musicians are, when they receive no payment, I doubt they would stay.

Here Sonor is writing about some handling of money, 20 million or so. What is this about?

Congolese Music / Re: NEW GENERIQUE PATATI PATATA BY ROGA ROGA
« on: December 28, 2019, 18:10 »
Kkkkkkk but how can Roga Roga do this to us? If you remove vocals on this song you can sing about 5 of his generiques without struggle kkkkkkk just the same

Roga became quite lazy these years. He should sit down in the studio and properly contruct tracks with content in it. Some tracks show he still has good ideas, but they are just flashes the night in this form.

I like the solo in this song. Personally, I think this is his first good solo since the La Main Noire album. He should play more things like this, and I would buy his new albums immediately. What I dislike however is the rythm guitar. They are playing this kind of rythm since the Kindoki album, I don't like it. It is trying to imitate electronic sound but I feel it is just too dark and boring.

Congolese Music / Re: ZAIKO FINALLY RELEASE CLIPS OF ALBUM SEVE

Who is that bearded guy playing the solo? It seems to me he was added during th US tour.

Doing weird spiritual stuff is one thing, but in spite of it he could still be a creative and interesting artist. My problem is however, that whatever he released since 2007 is not very interesting to me. So in case this is also caused by his spiritual activity, I am not happy. He should focus more on doing interesting records like the onese before 2007.

There is Nyoka Longo for example: there has been rumours about the kindoki he is doing. However in spite of that, he is creating interesting stuff even today, and always tried to maintain a good standard with the band. 

I don't understand the fear of Tresor however. Why is he so hysteric about this whole stuff of Roga? Roga does what he does, this is just a kind of whim (provided it is true), Tresor should just live his life and leave all that crazy stuff with Roga. Frankly, what effect can it have on him what Roga is doing? Nothing, it is just whim.

I don't think anything, I am just curious about what will happen this time, that is the first occasion that key musicians are leaving.

The sound shouldn't change too much; Extra Musica Zangul and International had similar sound despite the split. Same with Wenge Musica Masion Mere and Les Marquis de Masion Mere so on and so forth

I still expect changes. Though extra musica fractioned several times, this is the first time when key musicians leave. So far, leaving figures were singers. So this is kind of new situation. I was not happy with the direction the band took after La Main Noire, but for me their latest album 242 was a pleasant surprise with promising moments. I wonder in which fraction will this direction be maintained, if it will be at all.

I see you had created this account earlier, but did not activate it until now, when your other account is banned. The ban refers to your presence here, not only for a specific account. As the outcome of the poll, that was created for members to decide whether you can stay or not, was that the ban has to remain, I have to close this account of yours as well, to respect the outcome of the poll. I mentioned earlier that in case you create a blog elsewhere and send me the link for that or the RSS, I gladly add it to the frontpage sidebar of the forum, as we always welcome partner links to promote. This offer still prevails.
