@archos said:like papa wemba once said they say two words then 10 names kie kie kiebesides,i dont see congolese music as a music of solo artists,its very weird for me to be honesteimagine even a guy like soloist daddy bola is now solo,soon i wont be surprised to see yanki or roger ngandu become solo artists
<cite>@archos said:</cite>charisma is a massive smokescreen for congolese musicians (or for musicians in general)ferre and fally emerged like the leaders of the new generation and i think we can now see with them the bad side of leadership we see with koffi,jb,werra and cothey have a almost 100 per cent granted success for whatever they release,but then you have many artists who release better albums and then no success
<cite>@Sylvester said:</cite>We've been talking about Fally and Ferre and thinking they are the real leaders of the 5th generation of Congolese music,i have finally realised that Fally and Ferre do NOT have what it takes,they are not fully baked Congolese musicians but yes,they are the most successful and have made it financially.Ferre Gola remains my favourite Congolese vocalist singers but as a musician he lacks certain qualities. There other younger musicians I give maximum respect to and I think they fully understand their music more than Ferre and Fally and here just a few of the known musicians that understand Congolese music: Alain Mpela,Bouro Mpela, Sam Tshintu, Didier Lacoste,Montana Kamenga,Kabosé Bulembi and Mirage Supersonic,Titina Alcapone understands his music very well too. I urge all of you who don't pay attention to these musicians to sample their albums and you'll know what am talking about.
