 yes there used to be taz bolingo and recently another one i am forgetting the name but it does not go far as producers want sex before producing them and as usual in a lot you always have some who would not mind, and then those who say no to be more vocal and mess it up

it seems the assholes asking for sex in exchange for production are the ones messing it up.

sad. as a female artist in the states i've run into people wanting to sexualize my image in order to work with me but never blatantly being asked for sex. the main reason is since i've begun i've had family members make beats for me (my cousins and now my brother) otherwise i'm sure i would have ran into similar by now. its a damn shame. if i had the means i would start a female congolese band. its desperately needed.

since we're here special shout out to bozi boziana for working with the most women in congolese music history. its appreciated. altho i don't know what kind of relationships he had with these women lol sex may have been involved i don't know but it seems he has made it a life goal to make sure women get shine in this industry.

The sex thing has pissed me off big time why can't they just work normally like mwana nsalu said a female congolese band is needed

Yup, Grand-père Bozi Boziana deserves a special award for how much exposure he gave to talented female artists

The most successful all-women African band was/is Les Amazones of Guinée. They've been around for over 30 years, and are exactly as their name suggests- Amazones. Intimidating and very talented

A female band has to be intimidating in Africa, especially DRC to be respected

dope. thanks for the links. never heard of them. but yea you know sarah solo should use whatever exposure she gains from being in maison mere and build her own band eventually. and only put women in the band. she definitely has the chops

Unfortunately Yondo sister had a bunch of men around her. Where is she by the way? And what is she up to?

Yondo lives in Switzerland and has been working on an album of some sort with renown session artists. It's hard not to deny that she lost her fame though.

I saw her a few years ago and, appearance-wise, it's also hard to deny that she has a ghost-like complexion now. Just like Defao. Unfortunate

indeed she has been working on album "telle que je suis " since last year

We have had, and we still have enough women vocalists to set up a band. The problem is raising women  instrumentalists. They are just a few of them

Sara Solo, ex Bana Ok /Taz Bolingo , ( now with Wera ?) is just as good as the leading male solo-guitarists. But how many women guitarists are out there to team with her?

Mwana nsalu have you got any videos on YouTube of your songs I'd like to hear and I'm sure others here would too

that's great to hear.

to mantiuka's point. it would be quite the undertaking to get all female instrumentalists. i understand that but to at least have all female singers shouldn't be too much to ask.

That are some very nice tunes cheers, anyway, for the label people asking for sex unfortunately in Italy works the same, there is a very famous R'n'B/Rap white singer in Italy called FedEx which ask for sex to give you a shout out even though he is about to getting married that is the culture brought by Berlusconi since 80% of the ladies in his TV's have been certified to being there only because they had mega sex party with him, I have seen so many girls with a lot of talent vanishing in Italy since they wouldn't accept those shit, and that's sad anyway for music in thesedays you ddon't need labels you only need good promotions and you can do it by yourself, save some money like 10k or 20k invest in on FB or instagram upload the music on Tunecore (a site where you can actually sell your music with no need to be under anybody and get 80/90% of the song money sell and get Royatees) and results will come
