He could've been like the Bill Clinton of tenorist atalakus, looked at as a God.

Newside, Attentat is a very good and danceable generique and with the exception of Brigade he's better then all those atalakus you just mentioned.

Tutu Caludji are you sure??? :) :) ;D ;D Celeo are you sure??? these two really embraced the tenorist department of atalaku's now CNN has only shined on Attentat, Force de Frappe and Cessuz le Feu, look at Caludji Pentagone, Ndombolo, Titanic, TH and Internet. Celeo Kibuisa Mpimpa, Operation, Ligne II, Alerte Generale, Ca Sonne, Sous Sol and Tosa Olia not forgetting Mbuta Likasu's generique he even outshined Bill on Kibuisa and A La Queue Leu Leu so how is CNN better than them what call did CNN make that every group called too tell me?

I think it's not about the number of albums an ataluku has worked on but the creativity and power of the animation and CNN had that killer punch on his own,in those few albums he created excellent animation and all on his own without back up,he deserves maximum respect.
During the time that Bill was at Maison Mere, Celeo was literally a passenger, he was almost like BCBG's Cellulaire,answering to what Bill Clinton's calls and two lines here and there with mabanga and nothing much to call proper animation,it's very late in his time at Maison Mere that he really set himself up well and that was when Bill was no longer there.

All Caludji would say is "Wooo woooo yeah" and "Chaka chaka yo , chaka chaka niata" the hell is that?? Some witchcraft language?? Celeo is good but he never outshone Bill on albums or concerts.   
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: Jdog on May 26, 2014, 20:08
Sly, when Celeo and Bill were together Celeo actually had his own animation and wasn't a passenger like how Bcbg animators are to Genta.

Just like Cellulaire, Celeo was just doing a few lines here and there on sebene,it was Bill who led infact most of the generiques of Maison Mere were credited to Bill himself and these include Sololá Bien,Intervention Rapide,Terrain Eza Mine,Intervention Rapide remix(on Terrain Eza Mine) but yes,Celeo also gets credit especially for his work on the album A la queue leu leu as it was actually his animation ''koyimbi ko'' which was powerful and was quite popular at the time.

Post by: NEWSIDE96 on May 26, 2014, 20:16
Listen to Kibuisa Mpimpa and A La Queue Leu Leu Celeo outshone Bill seriously especially on A La Queue Leu Leu he outshone him I agree on force d'intervation rapide and solola bien celeo had no chance with bill but once he hit the ground running it was neck and neck in soe parts Celeo will animate for a least 5/6 minutes and bill would just dance it was notable in the koyimbiko era. In double zenith celeo basically did most of the animation while bill was dancing and plus in alerte generale and temoignage he proved himself and tutu caludji in 1998 no atalaku was on par with him literally untouchable na tempt wana CNN kutu akoki koma Caludji na cheville non, CNN is good animator but on the level of caludji and celeo even brigade

No it made Heritier because that's all he does when it's time for solo dance.
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: Jdog on May 26, 2014, 20:25
I've seen that Zenith like a million times...but for me the difference between Celeo and CNN is that Celeo has more of a rough tenorist voice and CNN has a more clear and sweeter voice....both are very good atalakus. 
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: NEWSIDE96 on May 26, 2014, 20:31
I agree CNN voice is much more better than Celeo's but celeo tres charismatique compared to CNN infact let's end this argument

They are both excellent atalukus,CNN had his time and so did Celeo who has now slackened off a bit after becoming a singer and leader.

Show some respect to Tutu Caludgi, he is head and shoulder above CNN, his style changed the landscape of Congolese Music completely.

LOL jdog its so easy to see when you just do not rate somebody listen to album pentagone on some of the early bcbg concerts( i know you are  stuck on the tchaka tchaka  kie kie kie)
even a big mouth like bill has maximum respect for him

Archos ata yo moko "chacka chacka" eza cri te eza maloba ya ba ndoki.......And Bill has a "big mouth"?? Bill talks a lot because he is the greatest falsetto atalaku to ever do animation.
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: archos on May 27, 2014, 16:28
 tutu' career is not just that, and talking about animation with kindoki bill is certainly the champion in that domain,if you only remember chaka chaka from tutu's 11 years  as an atalaku,maybe he is just not your cup of tea,fair enough
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: Jdog on May 27, 2014, 16:31
I never said that Tutu Caludji is not a good atalaku I just said CNN is better then him and he's the best tenorist atalaku.

just a pointer to Jdog earlier  animations were repeated chants of words that didn't make sense. an example is Roberto Ekokotas molilo fire moto which were synonyms..yet Ekokota is considered a great atalaku

Nothing beats caludji in this category..........celeo is second. You guys have forgotten the best calls so far have been ndombolo et koyimbiko.

When Caludi was doing that "Chacka Chacka" stuff CNN came with "Nzombolo" and "Mama Nzoto" and Bill took people to another dimension with that "Miromi" animation.

They praise caludji because Congolese music is Wenge biased.
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: NEWSIDE96 on May 28, 2014, 20:27
How is biased when somebody like Caludji created if not first animator to call "Ndombolo" which arguably the best ever congolese dance in modern day which went on to be the most influential dance.

Post by: archos on May 28, 2014, 20:33
guys like jb,nioka longo,koffi,wazekwa to name a few openly said in some interviews tutu was the best of all time and i am sure even werra might hesitate to say so because he was very pissed at tutu for following jb so much that he went to see his parents  to  make him change his mind,but then bill came in and did what we all know
and both are  the first names mentioned when people are asked about their favourite atalakus
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: Tunutu on May 29, 2014, 05:29
I read on Wikipedia that Werra had a hand in recruiting most of Wenge Musica staff, and he had hopped that they would have follow him but they followed JB instead is it true?
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: archos on May 29, 2014, 09:12
yes werra was mad especially at three musicians tutu caludji,titina alcapone and maitre ficarré
had wenge continued those three were part of the little group inside wenge  werra wanted to use on some personal tours
Title: Re: My all time favorite tenorist atalaku
Post by: Tunutu on May 29, 2014, 09:28
Archos, Shed some more lights, there are a lot of accounts of who really left the group, some says that it is Werra and Co, some says that Jb is the one who left and lead the exodus of musicians with him as he had Europe contracts, what really transpired?

Don't know why Alba Accompa kept choosing that tone for his rhythm, sometimes he sounded so wrong, it's like he was playing solo but with his amp almost at the minimum level. When you look at the position from which he actually plays often, he plays like a soloist, i think he may be a converted soloist no wonder he played the solo himself on his album Derriere Personne.
