I know some tunes from this album were included on normal Zaiko albums and concerts, too, but what about this one? Was it ever played live or only the studio version exist?

Congolese Music / SMF couldn't reach the database error« on: March 23, 2026, 17:28 »
I would like to notify everyone that in case you meet the SMF couldn't reach the database text error when you click any link on the forum, it is not due to a forum error, but there is hacking activity going on against the forum, and that's why that message appears. If you see it, try to refresh the page until you can load the page. At the moment I can't do anything about it. There is no security issue because the hacking attempts are handled, but the result is that you may have difficulties to load pages due to huge hacking activity. Working on the solution.

Congolese Music / Found the most difficult tune« on: December 15, 2025, 03:23 »
You may know I learn to play Congolese tunes sometimes. I met several difficult tunes, Dodoli's tunes are very hard to play. But nothing I ever met compares to this one. This tune is totally crazy, extremely hard to play. The guitarist was doubling every note in the singing part, have never heard such a solution. Sounds good though, but almost impossible to play. I have already asked Congolese guitarists in the past to show me how to play this tune, but none of them played it correctly. They skipped some doublings.
The interesting is that it is not a very well know person, either, who played it: 8

Congolese Music / Johnny Bokelo was something else« on: November 05, 2025, 05:15 »
Have just stumbled upon this video. It makes me feel this guy represented a third direction besides the style of African Fiesta and OK Jazz. His playing style is quite unique. I didn't realize so far that he played solo. The choruses are similar to OK jazz, but the solo is a different approach.
