Post by: mrvibes on March 18, 2020, 22:38

One of the song reminds me of ndoki of fally..i can trace the same rythmic from choc (extra musica nouvel horizon) in the generic.
The rest ..deja vu

Yeah, it came out last week. Sound is decent, but the work is not memorable tbh. I will give it some time

Honestly the maxi single is good. The generique and Coeur de Mwene are very good, Golden de Ninelle not bad but I didnt like at all Trahison that they did on a trap beat. Anyone knows who play the lead guitar at the end of Coeur de Mwene ?

Lets all be honest . sonor an co did a great job. Compare to roga on his maxi single. I prefere this rumba. Both group worked hard but to me roga has to find a different style has for me sonor and co has the total zangul style.  With bastin arrival things may become complicated for roga composition wise.

Yet another Congolese album with no promotion. Yesterday I found out about JC Kibombe album that was very good. Only reason I landed on it was by searching another artist. This one had no idea it released why do Congolese do this?

Patiti Patata in my opinion is a big mpiaka. However, Roga may have something big up his sleeve after bouncing back with a new band

I've been seeing this cover around last few days. I didn't realise it was an album. I'll give it a listen

I like Patati Patata and Coeur de Mwene but the other two did not really impress me. And the rumbas have a strong demo feel, in certain songs the rhythm section programming is quite low quality. The need to release this in a rush left its mark on this production. But there are some good melodies indeed. Though this whole stuff is still very far from Trop Cest Trop, and this recent lineup of singers doesn't really impress me. Roga needs to take his time and start recruiting some other singers to make the lineup stronger.

Trop c'est trop is an extra musica zangul album ..the group the best team brazzaville groups ever had . but this trash is 100% Roga work.im not saying that he is not good . is just that to me he should have not became a singer and work more in the back because that where his strength is

For one thing I admire Roga Roga for, in connection with this album: he respects the rules of rumba. There is only one theme in Coeur de Mwene, just the way Franco did it in the 80's, the way it should be in case of a Congolese rumba. I don't like when artists change themes in the rumba, that is not the traditional approach.
