lol, I would like to see a footage of DV Moanda speaking live. In this interview he didn't speak alot, because of Olemi helping him not when noticing that he was a little bit limited.
its interested to hear how Mbiyevanga pointed out in the start the way American music influenced the music of youngsters in the 1960s, that was brought by students living in Belgium and France who were bringing with them music of the West. It slowly led to creations of bands like Thu Zahina, Zaiko, Stukas that were reflecting the music of the new generation and being different from the old generation. Negro Succes of Bavon Marie Marie being the first to make that music.
I feel like people living in Europe that came back in the 1980s and 1990s didn’t influence the generation in that way, them more being into sape and the majority not being students. Them also being more into music of Congo itself. I wonder if the massive migration towards Europe didn’t take place from 1980s, that American music would have more influence on our music like in the 1960s and that Cuban music had in the 1940s and 1950s. Because later in the video, Papa Wemba said that Congolese music is just Rumba while countries like Nigeria and Cameroon being into Disco let the rest of the world.
It only these years that I’m noticing that late Ilo Pablo created alot of drum partition. I first always that he was limited to the cavacha-rhythm. A few years ago I discovered that he was the true creator of the Katchou-Katchou partition that Papy Kakol later used in Koyimbi-Ko. Today, I discovered that he created the Ndombolo-parition that Titina later used. Its a little bit different because he doesn’t finish it by hitting the hihat.
from 32:45 min (I dont know that the song is)
35:02 lol, the way of speaking of Bozi has never changed “uhmmm” “maissss pona ngaiii” “alors comme bango” “mais” “huuuum” “eza penza ok” I wonder why comedians focused on imitating his voice like Papa Wemba, Nyoka Longo, Werrason , JB Mpiana, Koffi Olomidé, Marie Paul, etc.
Verckys’s interview after that of Bozi is very interesting. I miss that kind of interviews. Look like artists in the music aren’t intelligent anymore to point that stuff out, only being focused on insulting rivals, doing polemique and giving shout-outs.
I would like to see/hear like this video, a video of journalists picking different artists and picking people to give their opinion about the music of today, that of youngsters and the new generation.
lol, the comment the elder give about the music of Zaiko and that of Viva la Musica.
from 1:12:19 Looks like the generation that used to talk Lingala that way all passed away.
Hearing Emeneya talk about la sape in 1979, shows that they didn’t start with it from 1980 during tour when meeting Dikando, Stervos Niarcos, Parisiana and co. lol, the way Emeneya being serious that he would restart studying at university the following year which he never ended up by doing. Looks like many musicians of that time wanted to finish university
