Ibrator Mpiana really sounds very similar to Modogo of QL. He has a great voice as a second voice individual. I actually think they should do a duet album. Their voices meld very well together. I hope Sam Tshintu will do a song with JB Mpiana. I wonder why JB and Sam have never collaborated as stars?
I am surprised to hear these two brothers sing together but they have good harmony as a duo. They are just as good as Soki Brothers. I agree. They need to make a duo album. I wonder why Willy Bula did not go to Wenge Musica. I feel Willy's voice was made more for Wenge Musica than Quartier Latin. Just my opinion.
I understand what everyone is saying. Felix Tshisekedi is wrong for arresting for her. But at the same time, I have no sympathy for her. Chickens are coming home for roost for Kabila supporters. Now they get a taste of their own music for what they did to opposing forces for 18 years. Kabila supporters will have their day and when they do, I will not feel any empathy towards them.
Just out of curiosity, did Koffi ever collaborate with Franco or did he ever do any shout to Franco....? How did Koffi relate to Franco?
No direct collabo that i know of and don't know if they actually even met but in the past i read some disrespetful comments allegedly by Koffi on Franco's guitar skills. The closest Koffi ever came to Franco was when he collaborated with TPOK Jazz's Josky Kiambukuta on the 1983 Koffi song Ngobila and others from his(Koffi's) first album Ngounda and when TPOK was when he featured on a live TPOK Jazz studio session and sang his song Ngobila alongside Madilu System and Josky Kiambukuta backed by TPOK Jazz Band including Vice President Lutumba Simaro on rhythm guitar, Franco wasn't present at least whilst Koffi sung with the duo. The song Ngobila is like Koffi's own version of Lutumba Simaro's Ebale Ya Zaire.
Let me add a little context to the video that DJ Sly is speaking. Actually this video was in 1992. Franco had already passed on. Here is the video in case that you are not sure.
BTW Nyoka Longo did talk about Koffi and Franco here as well as even mentioning Pepe Kalle during his beef with Koffi
He lied since the creation of the band in 1993 until his death that he would bring them to Europe. He openly mocked them in his own songs "kopesa bango visa te, sinon te bako kima" and told other bandleaders that he would never bring them to Europe, but still giving them false hope in interviews and rehearshals. That's also why Volvo, Fofo le Collegien, Pathy Moleso, Adricha Tipo Tipo, Signora Depatra Uomo, Babel, Rio Kazadi and co all left for other bands. They kept recording manquette-versions in Kinshasa at Studio Bobongo and Studio Meko, but them later being recorded by session musicians.
Which makes me wonder why Madilu could have just have had a solo career and not act like an ass that he was frequently.
Hehehe, I find it funny that it says Orchestre Madilu System when it took about 8 years after this classic album before finally a Orchestre System would be official.
He already did have an Orchestre Multi-Systeme at the time, but it was more of a backing band that Madilu turned to whenever he played in Kin since his albums were recorded with Europe-based session musicians. They did record on Pouvoir 4 years later but they only played on about half the album so it wasn't until Tenant du Titre that they played on an entire album.
I forgot that. You are right. I forgot his name but Madilu copycat sang with Madilu and Desouza on the song Nakombo.
