Me too,Ferre didn't utilize his musicians properly on this album,it's high time he did a group album,too much of solo albums with him doing most of the lyrics. I also wonder why he keeps inviting other musicians like Shibida Dumbu who is featured on two songs on this album. Shibida is not a great singer so why should he keep featuring on Ferre's albums yet Ferre has better singers than Shibida. All the same,we have to accept that it is a solo album and it is truly a masterpiece,i thought Ferre would never manage to make songs better than Maboko Pamba but he's done it and this time it's pure rhumba odemba from start to finish!!!
JDog,i am not too impressed with Bercy Muana,he talks too much but on the job he's empty,loba loba sala sala,rien!! :lol: I like the new guy Kirikou and Ruth Nzele the female ataluku.
All these generiques don't even come to close to Sens Interdit and Lubukulukumu which are excellent generiques however they are not bad because they are straight forward. I personally prefer the generique 'Kibombanda' to even Satelite by Werra or Fally's Hustler is back as Werra and Fally's are messed up by some unnecessary changes in rhythm and tempo,it can be tricky playing songs that have funny changes,people don't like that when they are on the dancefloor,they think it's you the DJ who has changed the song yet it's still the same song playing. :lol:
The only thing I am not impressed with is the poor mixing by the sound engineer,i don't know which studio Ferre used,they did a bad job and it's more noticeable on the generiques,the solo guitar especially is terribly low compared to bass but am glad on the generique Kibombanda,Hadji Solo really hit his signatures,Didier Lacoste must be missing him .
On the generiques,i think the atalukus have failed him especially on the first generique and title track 'Boite Noire,'the atalukus were just playing. The new female atalukus Ruth Nzele sounds promising and the other chap that features on the decalle song 'Coureur de jupon'
Welcome back Youngz. Yes,hopefully they come back,i have invited all those whose email address the admin's at Vibes d'afrique had and also thanx to them for having saved the email addresses,hats off to them otherwise it would have been almost impossible for us here to meet again.
Oh yeah Youngz Baron is correct,i didn't count type properly. Indeed the song Tanton Plutot is excellent,he sung the song at his first acoustic concert in Kinshasa 2 years ago or so,excellent song!!
Welcome Yovo Indeed the person who caused Vibes d'afrique to be shut pressed the wrong button some of us couldn't live without the forum. Let's keep the flame burning for real! :-D
