Title: WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE YOUNG DRUMMER AT FALLY’S OLYMPIA?
Post by: Matebu on June 19, 2025, 20:23
Still some of the best drumming I’ve heard on a live album. He literally played his heart out and had to be replaced by Champion and another session drummer mid-way through

Back then was he in a notable band in Kin or Poto, or mainly a session drummer?

Do you think he left at the right moment or should have remained patient? I know it takes two albums before the leader starts making real money from music, if I'm not mistaken Fally really became wealth by Kosa Leka era, right?

As for Wenge 4×4, wasn't it Kin E Bouge that opened up doors for sponsorship and longer tours? I'm always curious for the successful artist, like the path from popularity to profitablity.
