Title: Why aren't there more songs like this?!
Post by: BercysFinest98 on June 17, 2020, 22:01: This is one song that really puts you in the mood! One of the best ways to close an album as well! Take your madam to the dancefloor and just dance the night away to this!
Près Du Cœur by Pépé Kalle! For me, other than his big bad Soukous Bangers, this lingala flavoured smooth-jazz song is my favourite Pépé Kalle song ever!

There is also a jazz/blues song like Lolo rarely.

I'll join you on the imaginary lighter! Haha! And I totally agree with you on the "soul" statement! Songs of that time really had a true emotion to it! However, all isn't doom and gloom when we have Ferré, ready to revolutionise Congolese music with his classical song!
