Congolese Music / Re: ARE WE DOING THE WRONG THINGS TO MAKE CONGOLESE MUSIC SURVIVE
« on: August 04, 2021, 17:47 »
I feel Congolese aren’t promoting their craft well. Not to mention we shouldn’t have long rumbas and no sebenes on an album. These days it’s been a chore listening to new Congolese albums. But back when I was a kid that is what I looked forward to hearing. New Koffi, JB, werrason all we danced to in the day.
What Congolese need to do is:
1. Take advantage of Instagram.
2. Listen to what made Congolese popular and bring that back
3. Collaborate with other countries to infuse some of their style into yours.
4. Release an album! Take advantage of streaming music platforms. Promote on YouTube as well.
5. Sebene to rumba ratio must be smaller. People want to dance not sleep.
6. Also feel free to engage an American audience, but doing the top 5 should help.
