I listen to alot of Congolese music, old and new but I do not understand Lingala and my French isnt so great. I always wonder what makes something a hit song or not. To me many of the most popular vocalist sound wise dont really cut it but theyre still "the best". Many times Ive heard tracks where I thought man this must be a total hit but it isnt as popular as I though it would be. There also seems to be a genuine lack of interest in music from Congo-Brazza, why is that? In my opinion, some of their artist produce music (instrumentally speaking) far better than many of the Congo-Kinshasa groups but they dont seem to be as popular.
-In a nutshell, what makes a group/song popular in you guys' ears?
