Lol...listen carefully to this version of Kipelekese and the cd one are different...the digital/cd version has drum beats and this doesn't...still a great song, one of my favourite from the album
You could call this the acoustic version. Very nice with the West African acoustic style; with a Kora playing
Innoss' maturity is so impressive. He just graduated secondary school, but has the work ethic and professionalism of an artist with a decade of experience
it has some nice songs on it. listening to it now. there is definitely better out right now tho.
Agreed, you guys got to give the album a little time and not immediately compare it to Loi, V12, etc. Charisme is a ode to the past, Alidor, Papa Photo, and Pavilion 8 have deep meaning as they’re personal experience songs penned by Koffi
On a slightly related note, Jay-z was getting criticisms of his new album, 4:44 like 1 hour after it came out. Similar case there, people want immediate impact rather than letting it grow on them
Babin Massombo, the brainchild of the combatants continues to pay money for mabanga to the very artists that his crew is blocking their concerts
Congolese musicians often namecheck people without being paid or even the person approval....this could be the case, in return to get favouritism when it comes to those europe concerts ban..all premeditated i think
He’s secretly a fanatic, and that’s the problem. It’s not worth putting together, but the list of songs where he has mabanga is very long. And it does take some effort for your name to actually make it on the list of names Ferre or other artists are reading, unless you’re some big shot like Cardozo Mwamba or Kinuani.
Babin was close to Werra specifically years ago, until they fell out over ngulu as archos mentioned in the other thread
@Archos, can't they get someone who writes legibly to write the names for them to avoid this issue of misspelled names?
Actually, the process is still old school. A few members of the staff have the duty of gathering names on a peice of paper of those who actually pay up. Mostly the fanatics or young guys who want to become celebrities among their communities. Keep in mind, there are hundreds of names being called, and since this is the last process of the album, they're not going to put too much effort.
The long standing donors or polticians will have their names stated in every album regardless, so their names are saved and pronounced right since they matter most. Either they have a payment argeement or the young artists say their name to get their attention or appear important.
You can see the process in action here at (39:58). lol, Poison Gorbachev "Le commandant suprême du KGB" coercing Wemba for muitlple mabangas. Samsonite before Samsonite
What David Monsoh won't like to talk about nowadays is that he used to a mabanga errand boy for Koffi in the late 90's-00's. To his credit, he's an extraordinare when it comes to gathering funds, especially from known donors and athletes.
