He says by two months he believes album will be popular because they really worked and did a lot of great songs,they are not necessarily above of everybody(especially),but history has proven they are up there
he is not dominant on cd poster because he wanted to do something different,and still about doing something different he wanted to bring back serious sebene songs because since 2006 most albums were a lot of rumba then generiques and barely having sebene songs
about the feats which are on this album, he says he invited ya shella mputu in tyson's song( and jokes about tyson not being around because he hates tv) because for him he is one of the best singers and he knows him since over twenty years ago when shella had his group with lacoste and co,as guest there is also christelle love daughter of ntesa,he wanted two other guests jb but jb was too busy and lambio lambio should have started kabuya's generique
talking about lambio lambio he reveals that he will produce a single of lambio lambio then maybe slightly later either a group album of his band or a solo project, in the last years lambio is more known for his exuberant character in interviews and him fally wants to remind people that apart from that image of a quite talkative guy on tv lambio is a very talented artist
he is asked if in the future he could produce young artists or even more known groups or solo rumba artists and he says why not,
he will release his "world" album this year,maybe one of the singles just before summer and full album maybe in december
he says his group is like a family most of the members are long terms friends even the most recent members have been around for at least one year
he gives example of alvarito he knows since over 20 years,zagalo accompa since 30 years, the likes of chef atélé almost 20 years
he says he has started producing artists because he has a vision for congolese music,much has been done but he thinks at his level he can have a contribution with something different,its true he has spent a lot of money but he thinks he will get it back he wanted to start with his own musicians but he is open to other artists
he will proud if one day from his group one or a couple of guys become very succesful and win many trophies and joles that maybe at that time he will take a break in his career chill at home playing playstation and getting good money on his account as a producer
he also wishes that many other congolese artists get nominated at international awards because the more their will be congolese guys the bigger chance that Congo wins awards,imagine how strong congolese music will be if there are like 20 guys with very popular songs at international level people will stop thinking that congolese music is down
he says he will not mind it all if they have plenty of concerts on their own and he is says he is sure album will be a hit and adds he doesnt start recording an album because of another artist doing it,he does his things his own way

This is why I trusted fally from the day he left QL........I knew from droit chemin that we will have music ahead of us. God is great, when others are finishing in their career, he throws in someone new to take the music forward. Without Ipupa, the world would have been snoring upon hearing Congolese music but Alas, Fally woke us all up.........he never leaves the year empty.
now if you all remember, last year I had indicated that Congolese music needed a turn from boredom.....ie slow track albums to the return of sebene. Fally yas just done that. Now from now on, to the near future, jb, werra, ferre, mopao.....others etc will be on their toes. Thanks fally.

Just finished listening to 23 songs from the album, my friends, i rarely give 10/10 but this album gets it, yes, you read right 10/10 !!!!!!!!!!!!
-
i agree with you man, massive step up from the musicians,on another level than their contribution on arsenal and power
i was fearing fally would not take it too seriously since most leaders tend to save their energy for solo albums but good surprise,the guys now have matured,if album was released in 2010/2011 when the idea first appeared 100 per cent certain it would not be anywhere this level,the only little minus i have on that album is chorus,fally and the guys seem to love the very soft ones with some little parts almost sounding like whispering but sometimes its also cool to have powerful chorus(like for example in shella's song of danger de mort)
other minus is tyson's song with "faute ya commercant",there is a little part of kabosé's niawu then most of the second part was on chai ngenge's song he was meant to release in balle de match
-
I think the artistic faults are negligible, this album is simply the album. I was surprised by Tyson's song featuring Shella Mputu, Shella really sounded excellent and Fally's intervention was superb too.

The guys need to clear things, we don't want to order CD's in parts, there's need to know what is what, i hate it when i order something then get the unexpected.

Nah man not all 20 songs are good.

Jdog but very good album still.
Fally:adds he doesnt start recording an album because of another artist doing it,he does his things his own way
AHAHAHAH some jab to Ferre 8)
But maybe fally do it first but i guarantee Ferre will do it much better remember Power and Boite Noir??

It is not possible for someone to love all songs on album but the artistic quality is what counts,it's an excellent album and it's been a while since we heard an album like this from Congo DR, the Brazza guys have been doing it. Werrason has tried to do it on Ingeta but Fally and his team have nailed it so it's a revival of sebene songs we will see now since Fally is a trendsetter.
-
Sly, Bill had sebene songs in the Fukushima album, Celeo also had sebene songs in his first album, Didier Lacoste and Ferre also had sebene songs. Jb and Werra always have sebene songs. So it's not like sebene songs haven't been produced, and Wazekwa had a sebene song in I Love You. P.S the sebene songs in Ingeta are way better then the ones in LP.

My friend, IT IS MY OPINION and MY TASTE, yes the Ingeta sebenes may be more powerful but artistically, F'Victeam have arranged way better than Wenge Maison Mére did on Ingeta,that's just my personal opinion too.
-
i think the difference between f victeam's sebene songs and most of the recent ones is the return guitar throughout and progression from rumba to semi sebene to sebene the songs of alvarito and cambodge illustrate this very well,whereas in many of the sebene songs of the last 5 years the singing parts are many with studio effects then guitar arrives at beginning of sebene

Exactly, the songs progress well, you can hear the song develop well from a slow and you know when sebene is about to start that way you ''tighten your belt on the dancefloor'' ;D ;D not the songs we've been subjected to where it's a slow song then suddenly you just hear some soloist do a solo signature on the guitar and the song is in sebene and the atalukus start screaming ''eyé eyé, toké toké. ;D

For the last 5/6 years there has been 1 sebene song in an album poor, what Fally and his group did was very well so please give them the credit the deserve in that departmant

Next week, but you can listen on Youtube.

Fally talks like a leader and clearly you can see class above others. This time round guys will be chasing shadows!! A leader is one who is always ahead of competition. If things keep on going like this then I can see some people will not release soon, they will be rushing back to the studio to correct things because every time they are about to hand over theirs, a marking scheme is produced!!!

Bill,Celeo,Lacoste have all had at least two sebene songs in past albums. JB and Werra have at least 2 expect for Malewa Vol.2 where Werra had only one.

exactly......this is what I said about jb and koffi yesterday. They will not release soon. But whats important is artists
Will now be on their toes and sweating.....there has been no fire coming from Congolese music. Now there is fire.

It's there at the start of the first generique and other songs but not too long and not boring.
-

That's just your opinion based on your taste ie the kind of music you like. It doesn't make sense comparing the two musicians based on their music which is totally different however, if you mean Ferre cannot match Fally where strategy is concerned then you're totally right as Fally is what is called a market leader(trendsetter) and Ferre is a follower, both strategies work but the market leader will seem to be carrying the day simply because they do things without waiting whilst the followers respond to what's new, not to say that the market leader will always produce better quality products than competitors or followers.
It is a known fact that Ferre Gola's album Que est derriere toi was more successful than Fally's Arsenal de belles melodies which was quite monotonous. Fally rectified his mistakes and came up with Power Kosa Leka, it was a successful album but then Ferre responded with Boite Noire which was equally successful. Ferre came up with Dérangement which we were promised would be explosive but no, it was average and now Fally and his band has come with Libré Parcours and as far as i can tell, it is the best album released by any band in Congo for the last 5 years or so in that it is better arranged with a variety of styles of songs and the musicians blended in very well with different singing styles,melodies and to crown it all, they've brought back sebene and semi-sebene(shumba songs which pick up speed and have solo guitar at the end as we got accustomed to either rhumbas or generiques.
Let's give credit where its due to deserving musicians when they do better, yes, the two musicians are doing very well but on this occassion Fally has set the standards very high but that is easily achievable by any serious musician as congolese music is the same,there is nothing spectacular that Fally's band has done apart from changing strategy and hats off to them because it's paid off.
-
For me when it comes to Ferre vs Fally, Ferre is clearly the better singer and more talented in my opinion I think Fally is good singer he is no where to be matched with Ferre when it comes to singing or any of that but overall Fally gets the upper hand like his old boss Koffi (same with Papa Wemba and Koffi, Papa Wemba is more talented when it comes to singing and etc. but still Koffi is more popular (in my opinion better), Same with Fally his got a strong strategy like SLY said, Leadership and popularity which Ferre does not have.
-
SLy and NEWSIDE96 I'M REALLY HAPPY TO READ ypur post. :D ;) :) 8)

So much for an RnB singer huh :) and why the need to drag the follower in all of Fally's threads...

Spot on, Fally has Koffi's charisma and that's a winning formula
-
Being better is using all attributes......that is what I meant. And when it comes to voice and singing, well its up to taste.

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion and there is no better opinion than others since opinion is subjective and relative. I waited for this album with baited breath and all i got is an anti climax. Just finished listening to all the songs.I am more of a rhumba guy and the only songs i can listen to more than once are Rosendan and Formol. The remaining 20 or so songs are bigger flops than Ingeta. I'll pass and keep on waiting for 13eme Aporte and BDM

I had to resurrect this thread having listened to Libre Parcours. It is an absolutely smashing album. It's not a perfect album since I am one for continuous improvement, but it comes close to it. I am a big Ferre Gola fan and I rightly acknowledge him as the better vocalist. I subsequently bought Dérangement for comparison. It is an unfair comparison, and that's not because Dérangement is only six songs, I leave it at that.
I like the sebene on the album, some moan about the slows and the so-called 'oriengos'. I absolutely love them, they bring something unique & different to the music. It really is a question of taste, some will like it, some won't.
I know it is a 'group' album but this is Fally's second best album after Droit Chemin.
Best song? Cavalier! I urge you all to listen to it.

In my opinion, this is the first ever album by Fally because it's got a good balance of everything artistically ie from vocals, rhythms plus sebene to rhumba ratio.
Indeed, it is illogical to compare Ferre and Fally axctually because their music is totally different however, it is a fact that Ferre has been left sleeping because even if his style is rhumba odemba, he can still try to arrange his sebene better and if he could arrange his rhumba songs differently, he's become monotonous, Fally has managed to break the monotony because it's a group album. We will judge Ferre properly in december when his group album is released.
