Congolese Music / THIS HAS TO BE FERRE GOLA'S LOWEST MOMENT

He looks really sad and nervous singing in front that audience. I'm sure he regrets joining Quartier Latin to this day.

Flamme Kapaya should really reconsider and make a come back, his talent is being wasted.  Thank you Josey for resurrecting this song  :) :)

I feel for you Kevin, I also have an uncle killed in Somalia during a peacekeeping mission with the African Union forces. It's not easy being a soldier mostly you're just a pawn in a grand scheme.

The song is a hit, I will definitely be enjoying my weekend to it. Olomide is truly a legend, it seems he has returned to his artistic side. I hope this continues and another V12 comes our way. Thanks for keeping it shot and precise great production once again the instrumentation is pure Tcha Tcho..

For me Pepe Kalle and Aurlus Mabele were great atalakus, they had great delivery

Before he joined Wenge maison mere he was indeed part of Big stars of Defao and Anti Choc of Bozi Boziana..



Archos did his biography a while ago, here's the link http://congovibes.com/congolese-music/biography-of-kabose-bulembi/

Talking of Defao, I can seem to find this classic on any of the streaming services. If anyone can upload or post the audio file, I would highly appreciate I'm sure my LUO brothers from Kisumu should have it.

Congolese Music / Re: Defao in choc stars

Defao was always floating around in the 1980s he worked with everyone. Koffi and him were very close in the 80s, Choc Stars never really recovered when Bozi left, although I believe  in this period they recorded some great songs. After Bozi's departure all the band members started having solo ambitions, Defao took his opportunity after the success of Hitachi and the gamble paid off. By the 90s choc stars was done as Defao's success was the coup de grace to the band.

My favourite ensemble from the 80s great memories, Les Vainqueurs still one of my favourite recording from them. The vocal control from Debaba(R.I.P) and carlyto Lassa is amazing only Dindo Yogo and Evoloko are comparable.

Wenge Musica 4x4 TT was bound to break up because each band member was growing artistically and sometimes a band restricts individual ambitions. Although the break up would've been per-longed, it was inevitable, each member had individual goals. The brotherhood still remains but like my friendships it's not easy be in perfect harmony. Clan Wenge forever

@Archos

Can you write about "les annees vache maigre" 2002-2009 of JB Mpiana. How the 5 year ban came, his divorce with Amida, his trip to Kananga in 2003, the orginal Anti-Terro 2002 plan,Alain Mpela departure, the Fikin 2005 drama, etc. until

Sakabe, sakabe sulutani alela...
Ah nga na botama na Congo...
Man that album had energy and man Cellulaire was fire at the time R.I.P.


-the first big mistake jb mpiana did,happens from 1999 to the mid 2000's as he refuses being a candidate to several awards(particularly kora)
 he gives all his focus on kinshasa and the clan wenge rivalry but seriously neflects his image at international level,whereas albums liue titanic,th or even internet are well appreciated abroad
-still about his international career, he is contacted by several west african producers for a remix album of feux de l'amour with shorter songs and all those restrictions of "world music" and guaranteed good promotion
he starts recording it with a producer from benin but then his staff(damien dimonekene,bruno matadi and co) tell him to  ask crazy money from the producer and also have as a condition thathe would bring to america the whole group including every reserve singer so the producer abandons
- in 2001 after releasing internet,he is proposed by david monsoh working in a second solo album (which ends up being named chemin de fer) featuring some african starsaswell as a complete african tour and a much organized staff with spokesmen,managers,fashion designers... ,but refuses that proposition because of his staff which does not accept "losing" jb to other managers and who convince jb that he would be forced to dump his congolese career which was not the case but who made jb refuse
-one year later, he is announced in palais des congrès,one of the biggest and prestigious halls of paris,posters spread in paris streets,intensive promotion made in drc and france as he is set to become the first ever congolese artist to perform there,but once again the bad influence of his staff strikes,as two weeks before that concert they influence him to ask for 6 times the amount they agreed with producer and at the end of the day producer abandons because its too much money
-in the same year he is approached by producer jps,(as he is in serious conflict with his own producer simon) with the promise of winning kora awards and the possibility once again of recording solo albums and several advantages who could have boosted his popularity abroad but he prefers waiting until the end of his contract with simon instead of ceasing contract and signing with jps
also the fact,his rival werrason is there makes him refuse whereas jps saw in it possibilty of killing competition with other producers by having  the two biggest stars under his wings
-in 2005 while serving his europe ban he is proposed through angolan friends,contracts for southern america for festivals but he fears taking the gamble because  he des not want to play in front of extremely small crowds as he is unsrure there are enough congolese/african people there
-three years later same situation,this time in japan
i-in 2011 a big african event is planned at stade de france in paris and jb mpiana is the first congolese artist contacted but he thinks the project is not serious because the guy who contacted him was congolese and he was skeptical with congolese producers as he had many problems with some of them,but does not understand that guy is actually only a member of a whole organization
he then refuses that contract and prefers signing a contract for angola,werrason,fally ipupa and jessy matador who are contacted later accept

Reason Werra is my cup of tea than JB now...

But after many albums and changes and recruit, JB still remains the one with memorable songs and relevant without having to force anything lol life

What a joke... JB hasn't produced anything of substance for over a decade his relevance is only in Kinshasa and as for memorable songs werrason Trumps him..
