Celeo Scram is better than Brigade for WMM. Besides, Brigade was more suitable for Quartier Latin than Wenge Maison Mere. I am sorry but Celeo was made for Wenge Maison Mere. For goodness sake, Celeo's Koyimbi ko was taken by other animators and furthermore, Celeo had better animations than Brigade on the Sous Sol generique. There was a reason why Brigade would try to take Celeo's microphone because he knew that Celeo was more charismatic than he was. Brigade did have great animaitons like Analeta mambo, lelele and sima ekoli. I will give him hats off for those but there are better animators than him in Maison Mere history. I mean look at Kene Kene and Roi David for examples. Those men made their marks in Maison Mere and of course, Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is the king of Animation in Maison Mere. But Celeo is second or third behind Bill Clinton due to Roi David. How can anyone diminish Roi David. Listen to Alerte General, you will see great animations from Celeo and Roi David. Roi David needs to be given more respect than he has gotten. In my opinion, Brigade was much better in Quartier Latin than in Maison Mere.
I agree with you Matebu. Actually this album really made Fally Ipupa a superstar without doubt. Just to make an anology to v12, there are a few songs where Beniko Popolipo played on including most notably Nyokalesse. Also, there was Rigo Star who was the main guitar man on the song Mon Amour. I believe that Maika Munan arranged this album. This album was well executated. I think that this was the last time Rigo Star appeared on a Congolese album. There is Quartier Latin influence on this classic album.
Unfortunately it is very unlikely. Case in point, Fally Ipupa and Ferre Gola. Celeo Scram and Koffi Olomide have said that they could never get both of these artists to be both on their albums at the same time. They pointed out that they had choose between the two artists to appeared on their albums. On top of that, there is bad blood between Fabregas and Heritier as well as Ferre and Heritier. So sadly, the chances are zero.
Kester Emeneya had a good team here. I wonder who got Pompom Miyake to Victoria Elesien? Was it Lolo Mutima or Guy Kimvula or another close associate of Emeneya?
This is where I blame the donors. They have ruined the drive to make better generiques. Unfortunately, the donors don't want sebene orientated songs. I think if we have had a few sebene orientated songs, then I feel like generiques like this great song you posted would be more common. That is my take. I want to hear from others.
What a great concert. I loved the chemistry between Kester Emeneya and Papa Wemba. But I am left with two questions. 1) Was this concert taken after or before Emeneya did his own remix of Ngonda and other songs? 2) How do you think Emeneya felt when Papa Wemba added the line "Soki nawei, bakolela Bana Victoria"?
I agree with you Mfumu Vata. You are spot on. This was a great interview indeed. Elvis Kunku was a good guest for Mr. Rumba. Mr. Rumba did a great job conducting this interview. He has done great interviews before but this one is probably one of his best ones. I heard claims that there is a family connection between him and Madilu System. I see a strong ressemblence between Elvis Kunku and Madilu System. I am surprised to learn that he knew Papa Wemba in his earlier years. I am happily surprised to learn this situation didn't lead to a conflict between Papa Wemba and Pepe Kalle. I wonder if Elvis Kunku is the one who got Papa Wemba and Pepe Kalle to meet before they would sing together in the song Amena years later. I am sure Dilu Dilumona and Papy Tex were mad to find out that Pepe Kalle sung with Papa Wemba and Kester Emeneya on the song Amena for Viva La Musica.
About Cocktail, it is clear from Elvis' response, it appeared that Empire Bakuba was about to split because it looked clear that Elvis, Doris, MP Cherie alongside Dilu and Papy were already becoming annoyed with Boeing 737, Lofombo and Djuna. From Elvis' response, I feel like Empire Bakuba was going to be Viva La Musica with Nouvelle Ecriture and Cour des Grands. Pepe Kalle was going to have two sides of Empire Bakuba. One would be Empire Bakuba Kadima with Dilu, Elvis, Doris, Papy with probable additions of old Viva or Quartier Latin folks like Do Akongo, Luciana and Popolipo with a possible return of Solo Sita with Djodjo Ikomo staying on that side. Another would have been Empire Bakuba Delta Force with Desouza, Biya, Laudy, Germain, Lofombo, Djuna, Boeing 737 with folks like Strelly Mikobi, John Scott Ortega, etc.
Back to Papa Wemba, I wonder if there were plans of a duet album between Papa Wemba and Pepe Kalle because it apepared they hung somewhat during the periods of 1997 to 1998. I know Pepe Kalle was preparing duet albums with Madilu System and Nyboma. I wonder if Papa Wemba and Pepe Kalle had plans of a duet album.
These videos they literally just copied what Mfumu and Archos have said here and also what the musicians said during their interview with Ado Yuhe so the videos are pointless and waste of time lol
At least the author should have given credit to Archos and Mfumu Vata. It is sad that he hasn't done that. So shameful. SMH. Anyway, here is the third part from what Archos and Mfumu Vata told us already.
Guy Guy Fall was a good animator too as well as singer. Unfortunately he got too cocky as Matebu rightfully said. I am not sure but I wonder if Quetin and Roga Roga had pushed Guy Guy Fall to leave. I think it was Roga Roga got Hermann Ngassaki to replace Guy Guy Fall.
The video is speaking of the years 1993 to 1995. Apparently Koffi Olomide and Quartier Latin was already having strong tensions according to this video. Enjoy the video
