Congolese Music / Re: Rare radio-interview of DV Moanda (founder Zaiko) & Olemi Eshar in French 1979« on: June 16, 2023, 19:49 »Like Werrason and Emeneya, I always wonder why Bozi and Emeneya never thought about doing a featuring together. There was a time that they were both signed to VEVE. It would have been a banger if they did that. Emeneya said a few times that Bozi used to be his best friend when in was in Viva la Musica and he in Zaiko and them continuing being friends when he started Victoria. Its a mystery why they didn't think about it. They both did chorus together along with Djuna Djanana for Koffi's songs in 1978 and 1979 but they did a duet together. I asked myself that as well, it would've been a big hit if Bozi and Emeneya did a featuring when you have Anti Choc and Victoria Eleison backing them. Teddy Sukami composed memorable songs especially Elo. I'm hoping someone uploads his LP he recorded with Bozi Boziana and Kanda bongo Man. I think I found the song it's called Kiaku Kiaku, it was recorded with Les Casques Bleus in 1979. 33

I skipped to the near end of the radio broadcast and I heard Emeneya's voice it hasn't changed. I believe they recorded two versions of Zaiko, the first version was recorded in 1976 during their Ghana trip, their second trip was in 1979 backed up by with the Ya Toupas. Is the called vie ya mosolo written by late Teddy Sukami? 34

Congolese Music / Re: Booklet; Bozi Boziana - Les Réfoules de Schengen (1997)« on: June 04, 2023, 09:19 »According Koffi Alibaba it was that the album was finished and Rigo Makengo who had to produce it listening to it, saying that their solist was weak and that they had to correct some lines. But when coming back to the studio Meko all files already being erased by the sound engineer, which is really sad. In an interview Koffi Alibaba did with Mbuta Likasu he said that they had the chance to record a second album with label that did their first album. But the label only sending them 10 visa’s to record a new album in Europe, them refusing wanting to bring the whole band they had in Kinshasa. Thinking about it, it was a huge mistake by missing that opportunity. They had success in concerts, even Wenge Musica started to respect them and mentioning them interviews saying that they are the only band in Kinshasa next to them to have succes (just to piss Wenge El Paris off). A great opportunity missed sadly. 36
Congolese Music / Re: Booklet; Bozi Boziana - Les Réfoules de Schengen (1997)« on: June 04, 2023, 00:33 »Its a typical mid-90s booklet of African artists. Interpol was created back in 1996. That period Koffi Alibaba, Micha Brown, and Trocadero had already left Anti Choc it's a shame that the files of their next they recorded at M'eko were deleted and I hope someone uploads Interpellation gets uploaded along with the videoclips. It's shame that leadership issues have crumbled the band Sadiko and Trocadero ended joining Zaiko Langa Langa, Micha Brown travelled and settled in Angola he played on Lutchiana Mobulu's album "Balayage." It was also Deo Brondo last album, I think after the recording and release of the album is when Bozi returned because I watched an interview of Deo Brondo whether with Papy Gene or Marcel Landu of Sekele. He said that he was abandoned in Kenya which led him to join Zaiko Langa Langa. From then Bozi bought Lady Miyembe, Bello Bongo, the keyboard player (I don't know his name), and drummer Charly and the ngulu's. In my opinion I think "Les Refoules De Schengen" and "Bana Saint Gaberial" were last good albums I never paid to the albums he released after those two because I felt he lost the great stars of his group such as (Scola Miel, Koffi Alibaba) not mention the passing of late Wally Ngonda and late Fifi Mofude. 37
Congolese Music / Re: Booklet; Bozi Bosnians - Les Réfoules de Schengen (1997)« on: June 03, 2023, 21:03 »Seeing Rigo Makengo giving Djonolo special thanks next to Rigo Star and Nene Tchakou makes me even suspect him more for being the original author of the Nemiala de Berlin, Ba Ngambo ya la Vie, Les Refoules de Schengen and Vendredi Noir. The arrangement of the songs and way of singing in these songs were totally his style. Thanks for posting the booklet, I suspect the same thing as you described the songs were written in Djo Nolo, on another note the CD kind of reminds me of the V12 CD. 38
Congolese Music / Re: Kabesele For Ever« on: June 01, 2023, 00:08 »There's a video on youtube of Werrason touring along with Tshala Muana and comedians like Siatula, Bipendu, etc. around different cities of Congo for those political campaigns of ADFL. When coming in Mbandaka they performed with Pepe Kalle. Its btw there that Pepe Kalle was victim of his first heart attack before his death. Back then people were still not believing that Werrason would make it one day and that he was profiting behind ADFL to still exist. Them calling Maison Mere, Wenge ADFL because of they started to tour with them for those campaigns. At first I thought it was Delta Force who performed first on stage. 39

Thinking about it I wonder how it would look if JB Mpiana and Werrason were on the same stage. I would like to see the VHS video of the Tokufa Pona Congo event seems interesting. It is rare to discover videos of Pepe Kalle before his death in the late 90s apart from Cocktail.

Congolese Music / Re: Kabesele For Ever« on: May 31, 2023, 18:08 »Going back to the topic. I noticed that tribute tracks who are recorded in days/weeks after the of a big artists are easily forgotten compared to tribute tracks who are done 2/3/4 years after it. From looking at the photo I see Wendo Kolosoy, Shakembo, Werrason,Lutumba Simaro, King Kester Emeneya, Pepe Kalle, Djo Poster, Desouza, Jeannot Bomenga, and Adamo Ekula. The guy with the glasses could be Jolino I believe Alain Makaba was on tour with Wenge BCBG 41

Congolese Music / Re: Adricha Tipo Tipo & Mbuta Likasu« on: March 15, 2023, 23:08 »About bandmembers going to their leaders and not getting anything to eat is nothing. Almost all leaders do that. Today Ferre's spokemen Tresor Kongolo who used to be with Fally first is often mocking on social media by Fally-fanatics for his interview where he once said that Fally didn't give him breakfest when he came early in the morning. Yeah, hearing the stories from Madilu former musicians were shocking. 44

Zobena X-Or had his own energy in Victoria I still remember when he performed with Victoria during a show at Tele Zaire. In the era of Jardin Abandonée, Choc Stars was on tour they record the medley "Carnaval" "Nalela Bolingo" and albums outside the band such as "Chagrin Dimone" and "Sauvetage." The band probably returned in late '88 or early '89. I had to rewind when he joined Madilu's band after departing Choc Stars. It's possible he could've joined Choc Stars somewhere in 1993. 45

It could've passed in 1992 because he didn't participate on "Polo Kina" who knows. Btw Everybody did not have live drums it was programmed. |
