Wish him luck - part of me thinks his path will be like what Bronny James is going through now. Hope he doesn’t feel too pressured by critics have to follow in his father’s footsteps
le grand pretre welcome back,now only mfumu to come back there is soooooo many topics where his contribution would be helpful especially archive ones he's exceptional on that
Mfumu’s presence and knowledge is surely missed. Anyone has a direct line to him? A few bad eggs might’ve been the cause of departure
Wow, it’s been half a decade already. I remember being emotional that day in 2019 listening to Verre Cassé in particular. The greatest composer the genre has seen
Tambola na mokili was played by Maitre Dizzy Mandjeku!
Dizzy Mandjeku played with many groups like Bella Bella, Afrisa International of Tabu Ley, Kossa Kossa, Grands Maquisards, Franco et TPOK Jazz, Orchestre Veve and African All Stars with Sam Mangwana
Johnny Bokelo was the main guitar soloist in many of his compositions.
In 1985, Caen Madoka joined Johnny Bokelo's Mbonda Africa. The track Sandoka made him very famous in Kinshasa.
Nice to see you on here Shaddy. Been following your YT channel for years
Hot take - Fally could've sung better Mayday for the hype it gets in my opinion. Imagine if he sang it with his QL/Droit Chemin voice… it’d be on another level. He does more justice to it singing live though
That’s Fally’s QL Voice I’ve been wanting him to use in his own rhumbas.
He’s like Koffi at times where his voice sounds better in group albums/featurings than solo albums. Maybe it’s due to them not being surrounded by yesmen in the studio
For a usually mellow artist, back in 99-00 the aggressiveness of thé générique and the sebene songs made more of a shock to me than Cocktail. Theo Mbala’s versatility really shined along with Coréen Polystar
Bote ebimi…. Ive been inactive but lurking the site for quite some time. Work and life gets in the way, but looking to be back as a contributor to this beautiful, tight-knit community of ours. Been following on the web since the congo2000/Vibes Afrique days
Lol. Madison Square Garden doesnt even have 30k seats, what is he talking about? For a guy that been relegated to making generiques with over complicated dances he's talking real slick these days
Happy New Year Masta and CV family - wish you all a safe and prosperous new year. 2023 was the best year in a long time for the Congolese music scene - hopefully 2024 is stronger
