i would pay everything to see that team recording a second album together
this was the perfect group configuration,4 very good singers, 4 guitarists, maximum 20 musicians in total
-
You can have that team sly, only if they remove the total liability in there.
-
That's right archos, this was really tight, there was no passenger in the band at that time, everyone was at their peak!
EMO, with the current line up JB Mpiana has got, he's capable of producing quality stuff than this but I think he simply lacks the inspiration, he needs someone like Makaba to tell him what to do, he also needs to stop following what others are doing, if they are doing the bonioma kind of generique like that of Lacoste or Swede Swede, JB should stick to what he knows best not trying out stuff just because Werra and Koffi have done the same.
-
Damn Jb really sang that good :) :) :) :o and p.s he sings good now but in this video he sounds better
-
I really like (very rarely) dance to old school sebenes but I did this one ;) ;D
-
Then with due respect its Genta who came up with the noise that has become synonymous with JB's sebene today. Listen to this music very simple music, if it were today it would start with Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! JB-JB-JB-Jb kind of a thing. Archos is BCBG the largest band in Congo today with regards to the number of employees?
-
Kenyakone, I tell your friends like archos about liabilities in bcbg. Thanks you support me. Genta is one liability. If he was with werra, he would be history.

guys do you realise that this is basically wenge musica minus werra,adolphe,ferre,masela?
its from after wenith that a "true" wenge bcbg existed,so the comparison is a bit bizarre,
then when aimelia,makaba,burkina faso left, titina maintained the old wenge philosophy,then it changed when only ficarre and seguin remained from the original wenge
the generique biloko primus illustrates perfectly what i mean,the sebene starts like titina's bcbg then goes into kibens' one with a bigger folkloric dimension in sebene
then again this debate is not just about bcbg,its the whole congolese music that has abandoned the basics and went for unnecessarily complicated things for the sake of having their own identity in each grouàp
as for the question about the number of employees,i think its maison mere but both group easily have more than 200 employees

What? 200 what are all these people doing?
-
plenty of singers and atalakus who are accepted in tests but who could not find space to become a first teamer,plenty of female dancers( both groups have like 50 female dancers),administration members,bodyguards,office members....

and all have to smile every end month?

to be honest its those who are considered like active members of the group who get something and who benefit from other ways to get money( first teamers and known reserve men)
the other guys are not officially hired,its difficult for jb and werra to reject talented guys but at the same time its difficult to take care of all of them at the same time
so what happens it that those unknown guys keep rehearsing,but its also particular,many of those guys were street kids and jb/werra use music for them as a way to leave streets,then talent,determination and luck

The extra lot that is not in the A and B teams of these bands just benefit on getting tshirts during concerts, and are given something to feed on.but not salary.

hehehhe EMO t shirts, the most important thing is that they are given a platform to be known to the world and to showcase their talent so that they can make it big faster.

One of the best ever. They had the best chorus of all time, one of the best solists in the history and drummer of all time. They could have finished Werrason if they stayed 3 months in stead of 8 months outside of Congo and released Titanic earlier. Why do Congolese artist always have big ego's. Aaaah eza mawa :'(.
