I don't like it...

Another Congolese artist suffering from identity crisis....after long time away and he goes and release this junk(my opinion) ehh pardon
-
When I saw the name of the song I knew I was in for a big waste of time. Just release stick to your roots and produce quality rhumba with all that studio time in Europe. These songs are a flop 98% of the time
His first album had great rhumbas, but he's been in a rond point ever since.

Bullcrap

the bias on this forum at times can be felt all the way to the international space station i swear. the likes of fally and ferre and koffi, werra, the late papa wemba, the established guys in general, have been doing crossover songs for ages and it has always been tolerated on this forum or if not out-rightly celebrated while everyone else especially those on the fringes and trying to make it big gets beaten over the head for not doing pure congolese rumba. fally for example has been doing "nigga" mannerisms, style, slang, and music effects ever since he brought out "droit chemin". but oh no, how dare soleil wanga utter "swagg" out of his mouth and do a non-traditional congolese rumba/sebene song.
come on guys.

Your point is duly noted. Personally, i have never and will never enjoy any crossover music from my favourite group of Congolese musician and this includes all Wenge, QL, Extra originals and offshoots and other mainstream 4th and 5th gen musicians. I dont even have time for Coupe de Calle crap. For me its melodious rhumba followed closely by hard hitting sebene. Nothing more. That is what informed my comment. But even those who can bear this crossover bullshit would like something well done at least. THIS is not THAT. And it pays to clarify that I enjoy almost all other Wanga's offerings. Liyebo and D. Blanc are some of my all time favs.
