From 4 33 what a sweet partition of synthé i cant help but think about adricha's impression of ya jossart though "yoka kwasumpa yoka kwasumpa"
Aah Modikilo Modeste. Is he still active as musician ? Sebene is today more focused on keyboard player. But in the years just before the trend coming, I didn't knew what was going on but many keyboard players were sounding noisy when trying to insert keyboards during the sebene and using weird sounds. I remember Lofombo also trying to play keyboards, but that was in the 1990s. He messed Pepe Kalle's Merci Mama-album up by being to noisy when making intros. Very horrible. He also tried to play keyboard in one of his brother Shora Mbemba's song in Bize Mandundu with the same keyboard-paritition, but I don't remember the title. Looks like he wanted to be like Makaba by playing different instruments in albums (Lofombo played drums in Cocktail on his own). Its normal about Zaiko being masters of it. They are the one who started it already in 1980 with vieux Nzenze in Revelation and baleki baye kolanda lokola. Ba kolo "Kwasumpa" hahahahaa. Yoka Kwasumpa, Yoka Kwasumpa. If I was Nyoka Longo I would have arrested Adricha once again. Btw, is Adricha still making interviews against Nyoka Longo ? and is are those problems about Socoda still going on ? I saw Sam Tshintu defending Nyoka Longo in few of his interviewsZaiko also made other nice keyboard parition within sebenefrom 6:02 min which was back in the days played by fanfare, also known as zapataand today a hit in bars. Some people even believing that Zaiko created that partition.from 5:25 min late Alpha Kopeya coming in after Patcho Star's drum partition
Bruno Nsona and Gode Lofombo both played keyboards in Merci Maman. They both shared the role, like the way Gode Lofombo did it with Jean Synthe in Bize Mandundu. I recognized immediatly that it was Gode Lofombo playing because of way of coming in from 00:03 and his interventions on 00:20 min & 00:28 min in this songI dont have the credits of Merci Maman. But those of Bize Mandundu are on internet.
Not everything was programmed. The sebenes were played live, its just that the drum-sound of ndiaye wasn't good like all albums recorded over there of 1997, 1998 and 1999. I think that, that was the reason why Lofombo in Delta Force's album Confirmation decided when coming in Europe to do the mix, to erase Ile de Cambodge's drum partition and replace everything with programmed drums. There's no Congolese band that lack drummers or guitarists. All bands have back-up players even percussioniss. Empire Bakuba had 3 drummers at that time. Lofombo was head of the Cocktail-project. In two or three interviews, he explained that he wasn't convinced of the drummer of Empire Bakuba at that time (Logilo) and prefered to drum do the whole album on his own. Apparently Lofombo was also in conflict with the same Logilo like the way he wasn't in good terms with Rolls Papillon. I saw last year an interview of Logilo talking about his career in Empire, Academia and Zaiko, and he hadn't a good word for Lofombo. Logilo not drumming in Cocktail created tensions and discontect in the band, musicians being mad at Lofombo. Calling him an egoist and stuff like that. This made Lofombo mad and he decided to erase all his drum-parition and let Logilo, which made Pépé Kalle mad. However, the result was apparently not good in Lofombo's eyes. So he decided to erase Logilo's partition and replay everything on his own.
