Congolese Music / Re: GUYS HAVE YOU SEEN WHATS HAPPENING ABOUT BOMPEMA AND WERRASON?
« on: August 14, 2020, 12:38 »
We've been having this "Werra can't sing, Werra is a faux chanteur" conversation ever since this forum started & even in the old forum before this. It's all a matter of preference IMO. Werra is not the greatest singer around but he's not as bad as people here try to make it sound. Adolphe, Wazekwa etc don't sing that well either but I never see people get so heated over their singing abilities. I'd rather listen to Werra all day than listen to Adolphe. That's just me & my preferences.

A lot of people think Papa Wemba was one hell of a singer. Personally, I can't stand his singing. That doesn't make him a bad singer either.

The fact that you don't like someone doesn't necessarily make them bad

I have never considered maison mere as a wenge.. It is a different group created by 3 ex original wenge members.
Bcbg fanatic strikes once again SMH, shocking comments.

Bro i could be wrong but maybe he is saying that in the sense that some people say neither bcbg nor maison mere are really wenge's even if they have that name,surely some sort of strong nostalgia of wenge 4X4 or the fact even musically both are doing something different to 4X4


Now that Koffi & QLI are doing music that is quite different from what they used to do in the past as original QLI, they are no longer QLI?

Even if Wenge had stayed together up to this day, their music would have changed to adapt to current circumstance like technology, fans desires etc

Wenge is not dying ...its actually maison mere dying.. I have never considered maison mere as a wenge.. It is a different group created by 3 ex original wenge members.

As if your approval is what would make Maison Mere more Wenge. Ridiculous sense of importance

Did I read someone saying Robino is the future of Congolese music?

Didn't JB & his BCBG guys do the same to Alain Makaba, Blaise & Aimelia?

Yes that's satellite. Dinara and mwaka also feature in other songs. This is a very good album. The generiques were overplayed before release making them sound so weak. I think Werra needs either Bercy or Ambulance back. Diego and Golbert are too average for such a big group. Jamaique needs serious competition. He has potential and is versatile but he lacks Bercy's energy.

I'm of a different opinion. I feel Jamaique is not living up to initial hype and I have a feeling Werra might ditch him soon. Goldbert is not being given the spotlight he deserves but so far he's bettering Jamaique in all possible ways

Congolese Music / Re: GESSAC ALSO JOINS THE FERRE HATE TRAIN AND SAYS HE DOESN’T KNOW ANY FERRE SONGS
« on: June 20, 2020, 08:51 »
Congolese musicians always do this to each other for whatever reasons. I don't like it but I also don't understand why Ferre fans are always up in arms when it's done to them. Maybe Ferre too needs to look at his relationship with his colleagues and decide whether he's OK with things the way they are or whether he wants to change them. If it doesn't affect his music then he shouldn't be bothered. Werra has been the official "unwanted" guy for a long time either by design or by default by he found a way to make that work for him.

In showbiz there's nothing like bad publicity. Just make all the "hate" attract attention towards yourself then capitalize on it

I like the funky vibe of the dance. Based on current standards of generiques I feel he's done relatively well. The drumming and solo guitar is starting to sound too familiar. Kabuya didn't really live to my expectations of him. Identite is always the guy who brings the fire  for me but for the first time he's let me down. He wasn't bad. Just a bit too mild. But I love how his voice has evolved. He sounds very close to Pecose of Defao and Big Stars

A lot of time Congolese music fans lament about how the standards and fortunes of the music genre has gone down & rightly so. The relevance of Congolese "rhumba" music is dwindling at an alarming rate. But I also think the fans are a big part of the problem. There's just too much negativity that I cannot honestly understand. It's almost as if the fans themselves enjoy watching the artists fail

Hopefully for him it will sell out because I still think there will be fears due to the Coronavirus so I'm not sure what the outcome will be.

I still wanna know what the QL lineup will be.

Cindy, BB Jitrois, Mukusa ya Mbua, bleached Eric Tutsi, and a bunch of average unknowns.

This concert is not going to happen.

TF???

Congolese Music / Re: KABOSSE OPENLY LABELS FERRE A DRUG AND TATOO ADDICT IN PAPY MBOMA SHOW
« on: May 04, 2020, 07:05 »
Damn!!  Ferre fans are so flammable!  ;D ;D ;D That's on a lighter  though

I like Kabose's music. Unfortunately it seems like the only way Congolese musicians know how to create buzz is to create some sort of a beef with someone higher up the pecking order. I wish Kabose could work harder on promoting his image as an artist and his work because it is an undeniable fact that his music is very high quality.

He can learn how to effectively use social media, learn some foreign language (Swahili, English) to broaden his scope, get more involved in community charity works, spend some small money on promotion, do a lot of freestyling on social media, connect himself with Djs & radio/Tv presenters outside DRC...etc

These petty beefs can only be useful if the artists involved are both established names. Otherwise nobody will care about Kabose & what he thinks about Ferre

« on: April 29, 2020, 09:52 »
Rolly's voice was a beautiful blend of Fally & Ferre voices + style. The man just disappeared into thin air. I hope this is the beginning of his return. Such talent shouldn't go to waste like this

Boss! Thanks so much. I've been looking for this album for a long time. A lot of Adolphe's music is not available on streaming services I don't know why

Eboa is/was a rare talent. If he was able to write his own songs & do the same for other band members, I just don't understand why there hasn't been enough music from him so far
