Title: THIS FOR ME WAS THE MOST SHOCKING GÉNÉRIQUE IMO
Post by: Matebu on March 30, 2024, 05:13
For a usually mellow artist, back in 99-00 the aggressiveness of thé générique and the sebene songs made more of a shock to me than Cocktail. Theo Mbala’s versatility really shined along with Coréen Polystar

The rhythm gets me every time as well

I can’t lie I’m always listening to this Generique along with Fanny, Aller Retour, Christine Triest. Bozi needs to be serious and put this streaming platforms, he’s sooo behind.

Who is advising these Congolese artists on marketing? A lot of albums are unable to be accessed these days.

True - One would think he took a musical sabbatical from 1997 to 2008 with his online catalog. I had to buy the CD a few years back to rediscover this great album

Theo Mbala doesn't get as much credit as he should. Me thinks if he was from Clan Wenge he would more known.

For someone who is not a fan of generiques, palpitations makes the very small list of great and classic generiques

Man, the Memories on this one!!

Animation was great and the overall album was very good.

Thanks Ndeko, I am going to dig up this from my archives.
