Title: THE TIME WHEN COUPÉ DÉCALÉ ALMOST HIJACKED POPULAR CONGOLESE MUSIC
Post by: Matebu on October 03, 2016, 03:08

This is was on top of the hit parade about 9 years ago. Mindless music to point where it offended people who liked conventional Congolese music; literally a song about nothing.  The main artists have since made Coupé décale style songs, but none have reached level of popularity this song had for a short while.

It's weird to go from a big classic like Ali Debs in the intro to the song itself

This is the same Kozato (dance of the the warriors) that was used by Victoria eleison in Débarquement générique

Yeah I remember this type of music. At the time everyone here in Chicago were going crazy over that "Alaji" song at parties. I was only a kid at that time, and I had no idea why people were in love with that song.
