Not available in the US yet, but I usually don’t rate Ferre at all for is un-imagintive génériques since early in his solo career. How are these sounding ?
-
EEEEYYYYYY FERRE Great stuff from him I am dancingggg
-
Ferre is my top/most favourite artist from DRC but I'll wait for the rhumbas. Thanks but no thanks. D'Angola should go back to producing those 'solo' generiques where he can shout and scream all he wants. How I pray he had succeeded solo and didn't have to come back to ruin my band. From Doupidi to this!!!!!!!!! Good news though, is that as always, the rhumbas are gonna rock when they finally come out.
-
The génériques are fire. Are there also videoclips coming out ?
-
Yes, Blaise Createur has said that there will be video clips for it and that's coming soon
-
my favorite is ngebu ngebu you can sense it was played with "anger",even if muana kongo did not shout out charly solo on the other one it was easy to guess who played what,he has stagnated from me since boite noire,maybe a third soloist would not do any bad,him and hadji have a combined 32 years as a pair of soloist in the same band,thats a LOT
i think prince wanted to replicate bercy's role so that he gets more time to be heard outside his own two animations
golberg's "ya gola aliesaki bana ail" should have been on ngebu ngebu like they played it in the recent concert suited that note better for me
-
Could’ve been a killer but the sound is too unorganised. The duo with Blaise and Prince sounds off. But overall, the instrumentals, structure and cris are good.
You’re right about Golbert’s part. It’s even trending a bit on TikTok

Ahhh Ferre mabanga eleki trop. Ngebu Ngebu was the better of the two to me. Can we go back to Mascara type generique as like actual generiques with a theme, generiques are just freestyles with different animators coming and animating about different topics.

clip scheduled
-
Not bad at all. Ferre gola has been consistent this decade.
-
Does it mean that the albums comes out til end of the year?
-
More likely the start of next year
-
yeah according to a friend of mine who is in the close circle album is at best for the end of year celebrations but most likely start of next year because ferre plans to perform at martyrs again,and seems to have adopted the idea of one of his staff guys before even having the one he had,of playing it twice one as his concert the other one as a celebration with the wenge guys and soleil for example so it might be between january and april
he actually was wanting to perform there instead of his recent echangeur concert where the vieux jaloux thing reappeared as an answer but was not given authorization because of football
-
The clip is actually really good
-
The only thing good about this generique is the clip…my gosh Ferre has useless soloist. They don’t create anything memorable. No catchy melodies or guitar licks…so boring and the atalakus no energy🥱
-
see what i said about charlie solo,hadji at least tries but his sound often is muffled and not helped with ferre doing mabanga in deep voice which covers a lot of the work he does,and also ferre's group is literally apart from zaiko the only group which has gone with the same soloists for 15 years
everybody else has freshened up,even guys like fabro deplick and co have had more different soloists than ferre in far less time
so it will easy sound like deja vu,charlie always going on with "unenergetic" solos despite trying to sound crisp clear,and hadji rinsing the same pattern of fast "grating" effect then some melody in between
-
These generiques are nothing special lol I don’t know what everyone’s talking about Ngebu Ngebu is decent but not fire. For me Ekoyebana and Soixante neuf are still the best generiques he’s produced in recent years.
-
It’s soo boring…compare this with other artists recent generique this is not even in the top 20, obviously rubbish. Ferre needs a soloist like Alfred solo or someone fresh. Charly’s head is full of shit he’s been playing for the past 15yr. The laziest soloist in Congolese history.
-
These generiques are nothing special lol I don’t know what everyone’s talking about Ngebu Ngebu is decent but not fire. For me Ekoyebana and Soixante neuf are still the best generiques he’s produced in recent years.
But they all just sound like a continuation of the other
-
Ferre needs to let go of those finger biting moves buffalo and co brought when they got recruited from brazza,we are talking here about one of the best dancers of one of the most complex and physical dances the genre ever saw in koyimbiko so he is more than capable of dancing well without always throwing it into his moves

That’s true they do.

clip scheduled
Haha I haven’t seen Ferre dance like that like he did at the end in like ever 😂😂 the clip is nice and I like Goldberg’s animation at the end “Ozo beta musique ya buzoba Ya Gola ako benda yo matoyi” 😂
-
Better
-
two MID generiques tbh every last one has been mid since after the first one. nothing is really hitting for me animators are not that great guitar work is decent but nothing memorable.

Ferre's generiques are so basic. They all sound the same, Nothing memorable at all. They are plain flat. I don't know what guys are praising here
-
Surely partly because of the soloists most groups did not have the same soloists for that long quartier latin had mbetenge champion vualu poupa mystic yannick then volcan in their period together,maison mere had kimbangu arc en ciel sara solo and the returns of japonais and mogratana,fally had alvarito tyson le petit then golet simeon,fabregas had christianisme then francis and another,wata had akim mvuluzi japonais alvarito champion
jb had patou solo tolbert ficarre st paolo reagan dany solo who disappeared quick and almost had the matadi guy,cultura had pitshou concorde brian indice nikei and kabelo they are the only group with zaiko who have always only had the same two faces for 15 years without ever having a glimpse of a third
-
Ferre’s generique sound is dominated by the bass and while the solo and accompa are lowered. Now listen to the current Maison Mere generique played by Alfred and you will understand the difference.

Mais cri ya Muana Kongo ekangi mboka!
