Any man that treats women with contempt is a neanderthal bastard.

Congolese Music / Re: ITS OUT!!!!!!!
« on: June 24, 2017, 13:14 »
My first impression is that the album is decent. The rhumbas are awesome and the generiques catchy as well......only issue I have is the changement de frequance on the generiques that is a bit off putting.

However for £7.89, that's not too bad so I am not complaining.

Congolese Music / Congolese bass guitar tutorials
« on: June 20, 2017, 22:41 »
Ok guys. I've been learning the bass guitar for the past 8 months and can now play one sebene in the key of G. I now think that I'm good to learn more but the difficulty I face is that there aren't many tutorials on YouTube and worse still none in English. Some of you play or know some genius bass players out there that you can record showing how to play the most common sebene progressions.

So this is just a long shot to ask if anyone of you could be so kind as to record a video or videos to upload on Youtube so that we can learn how to play this great music. If not I'd be grateful if you could point me in the direction to where  I can receive help please.

So far, these are some of the videos ive used. The first and second are excellent for showing the keys and how to play....... the last video is mind blowing and that's what I'm aspiring for.

Werrasonique ndeipi...We missed your input Mdara..where have you gone too..we need legends like you on this forum
Hello, I am good boss thanks for asking. I am about and I keep an eye on this forum and do appreciate the discussions and insightful information from all you guys.

Unfortunately, since the album Monde Arabe when Koffi decided to popularise rhumba at the expense of sebene, it seems that Congolese music has been headed south. The Ivoriens came in, stole the music and had their share in the sun for a while and now it's the Nigerians also appropriating Congolese music. As a result, there hasn't been anything to excite my fancy in the Congolese scene so the music I find myself listening to nowadays is everything pre 2005.

Sounds like a pipe dream, but he's seem to be taking legal steps behind the scenes to handle the case in France. He wishes Fally and Héritier luck for their upcoming concerts

His single will be available for download June 21st

Koffi is a vile women beater. He hasn't done like Papa Wemba, Nyoka Longo, JB & Werra who were all thrown in prison and faced up to their crimes or cleared their names. He needs to go back to France and face the music instead of trying to cut deals. That suggests that he is guilty as sin.......come on Koffi, stop posturing; take the shades off and confront your problems like a man.

Congolese Music / Re: HÉRITIER AT FESTIVAL DE CANNES
« on: May 25, 2017, 16:55 »

Heritier Wata en style Macron avec une grand-mère.................Couldn't resist..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D





People are ROASTING him on social media  ;D




Reminds me of the days when Fally used to show up at US music award shows just to be there. A lady used to send out emails on behalf of Monsoh to tell them he's a famous African artist in order to request guest tickets

Congolese Music / Re: BEFORE SOMONO JOINED QUARTIER LATIN
« on: January 24, 2017, 08:50 »
In thought Somono Dolce came from Radja Kula's station Japan...........where Japonaise played the lead. The video below shows the youthful Somono, doing an animation he later redone with Academia.

Radja Kula is a legend though.......he claims to have created over 5,000 dance steps copied by all major groups in Congo.....amazing.

Can someone explain this whole Europe combatant concert ban? Congolese musicians can't perform at zenith, betcy, montmartre, etc anymore. What happened and when did it start? Sorry Im a little late on this issue.

This topic has been discussed extensively on here. You could start by doing a simple search using the search field on the top right hand corner or using Google.

Haha vieux Papa PC- he was one of those uncles you loved to hate, but loved anyways. He had some wild theories and viewpoints at the time, but a lot of them actually turned out to be true. Simaro's #1 fan

Haha Le Prof was willing to defend Mopao to death on any subject pertaining to him ;D; I wonder how he feels about recent events and his releases.

PC is a caustic character isn't he lol.........and you also have been around for a long time but I seem not to recognise from before, the monicker you are using!!!!

As the genre declined in the mid-2000s on, he gradually move other interests; he's presently a freelance journalist for other topics based in East Sussex, England. I remember him being one of the first to predict that the Congolese music would suffer a sharp decline due to loss of creativity.

The last artist he worked closely with was King Kester, which happened to be his favorite artist. He is still an avid Congolese music collector/enthusiast and he used to active on some the now defunct forums.

His website, which was for a long time my favorite site on the internet is sadly no longer in existence.

Congolese music blogging used to be a lot of fun in the early 2000s with Muana Matchete, RonnyZee, Yvonne, Haha le prof, PC Mpondolo, Sly, VickyBenz, Tamando, Alex, Minu Nianda among others during the AfricaOnline era and the many other places we went to after. I used to be very active then and really enjoyed the informative interactions with the characters I mentioned above and more. Ronald aka RonnyZee was another of the most knowledgeable and supportive Caucasians I know of Congolese music and African music at large. He always made an effort to travel from Holland to France for most concerts, took pictures, interviews and provided in-depth reviews of concerts and new CDs.

It is a shame that these guys do not find our music pleasurable anymore and that they have moved on to other things and there are a few reasons that explain this. To start with, things started going south when that square headed women battering moron mutunguba Koffi decided to release a sebeneless Monde Arabe and everyone followed suit with rhumbas……… Secondly, JB Mpiana also had this hare-brained idea that he was going to be like Michael Jackson and produce an album every 5 years……. Well done you geniuses!..........Thirdly, the so called “combatants”…………..actually using a name that describes brave men on these cowardly bunch of burly lager louts is an insult. These muppets stopped European concerts and in a way killed off one of the distribution channels of Congolese music.

What happened next is quite comical. While Congolese music was in slumber, the Ivoirians took the initiative to steal the sebene, stripped it of most its guitars, added a few touches of their own and passed it as their own coupe decalle, leaving the Congolese with nothing to hold on to...............In addition to the horrendous music; we also didn't help ourselves with the constant bickering and petty squabbles.  It so happened that our group was joined by a somewhat shadowy character whose name I shall not mention and is married to a once famous musician now living in Texas. This woman claimed to protect Musicians’ interests and had a few of our websites shutdown because she didn't like the criticism we made about them.........that I think for some was the final nail in the coffin.

You clearly do not know the history of Wenge BCBG 4X4 and the role Makaba played in it.
I almost spilled my coffee laughing at your statement above.......do you think a cut and paste job on this forum will school me about the history of the Wenges...... let alone, of the Congolese music? Not impressed at all, try harder. .........You ought to be having a laugh mate.

Makaba is another loud mouth has been who hogs the limelight by revealing locker room secrets, instead of his talent. He should have dealt with his problems while in the group instead of going on national tv to mourn about it. JB & Werra do not owe him anything......if he was a natural leader  and not simply a talented guitarist, he would have started his own band.
