Title: Emotional song(s): your top 5 or your favourite
Post by: J Silu on January 15, 2021, 17:00: What are your top 5 emotional songs you've ever heard in Congolese music ? Or you can name me your favourite emotional song.

My one is Papa Wemba *Maman*. But i have few other emotional songs that gets to me like Carlyto & Malage *Calamite*, Pepe Kalle & Nyboma *Nina*, Koffi Olomide *non assistance* there's a lot from Koffi that are emotional that I like. There's so many to name but my favourite one is Maman by Papa Wemba.

Post by: Paysan Congolais on January 15, 2021, 20:51: Those songs make me feel emotional.

It's not only linked to the songs themselves but also the memories I have that are related to these songs.
I'm sorry but I'll have to cheat a little bit: 5 is too small.

Post by: Mfumu Vata on January 16, 2021, 19:31: I wasn't able to make a top 5. Here's my are my 16 favorite emotional songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biGtFpl4UGY

Lutumba's most underrated song. Sung by Papa Wemba. Its about a girl getting graduated at the secondary school, but looking for her mom. Who left when she was a little kid. I know I friend who gets always emotional when he hear this song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4ex36nS5wQ

Song dedicated to Claudia Sasou mother Lily Kaniki

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DzRxgXQne4

This version of Maboko Pamba is better than the album-version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTLC5aaDnkk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAFU3lmMHVg

I like the piano version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFgtElEH2Ek

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vdCWfZdZRo

song dedicated to Emenya ex'wife Liliane Mwanga

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oODIs6QGHCg

I like Felly Tyson's intro with the guitar and the public reacting "nooo", when Koffi said "nzoto na nga yango oyo, ezo tanga makila"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUQsD6ljSlQ

This version is better than the one recorded in 1986, but the bass isn't played. Its crazy that Koffi focused on erasing Depitcho's vocal, mabanga's to Zingeti le Rascaback and some parts of Ocean, but not on mistakes of instrumentalists.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hx5gGdt1dc
Fi-Carre's guitar and the keyboard of Desire Kalala made it feel special, by far better than the cd version. Also top message from Werrason "ko juger moto na mosika ezali mabe".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XocXvlV9I4

One of Reddy's most underrated songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyS8SbJw2BU

So sad that this song hadn't alot succes. I like the vocal he dedicated to Pepe Kalle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44VbhExy9I0

Franco recording this song, when one of his musicians spread that he contracted AIDS, that he was about to die and already made a testament, which hurted Franco alot and also the way people in Kinshasa were spreading everytime rumors that he passed away. Franco really sounded emotional in this song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mlUZnKsvgs

One of Fally's best song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcHnweKO414

Ndule Award voting it as best song of 2009, created some contreversy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGCXCU71UCM

For me Koffi had to release this version in Loi instead of the original version of SOS

Post by: SLK97 on January 17, 2021, 21:18: If anyone wants to really get in their feelings, play Pres du Coeur first then instantly follow it up with Kidiamfuka. Like, one second between the two songs. It works for me.

Post by: Manzambi94 on January 18, 2021, 09:46: 1. Nicky Di of Werra
Nikide of Werra and

Nikide Remix of Werra

Abeti Faux of Héritier

Temps Perdus even though I don't ever listen to that song cause is just too weird

Then J'Suis La by JB a masterpiece and Nickson Lleya by Ferré, I talked about only modern artist because going back to Franco and Tabu Let and Pepe Kalle there would be too many great songs, which I would include but. I will stuck with modern ones only.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSI0v3a82_g
esau,done by a super exhausted jb mpiana sleeping of the floor of studio,with studio budget finished with the reworking of the two songs fudji abraham and co were in, and who had just received from kin news of almost 100K lost in business by a guy who conned him and ran away
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DouyybRWFBQ tsho of fally,largely inspired from a song fally and mosaka did back then when his first big love (before nana) left her for an older man,and fally add some lines to "upgrade to 2009" the song
i remember he started promotion of A2BM with it so it was played a lot on africa number 1,rfi
