bed song with a bit of "poetry"
-
Lol I can't be the only one who said Le Padre at the beginning. He's a better singer then I taught. What did he mean by ba changaka chauffeur na loyenge te? At the end of that lady would've pulled me like that I would've went with her, what was Jaimerose thinking lol.
-
Fantastic rhumba!!!! He left nothing unturned on this one. I suspect that's Olivier Tshimanga's acoustic lead playing.
-
lol me too ,i was about to say le paaaaaaaadreee then there was that sound several times and i realised it was different :D :D :D :D

You do not change a driver when the fun/ambiance has started i take it is the direct translation so to me the interpretation is that you cannot pause when something is pleasurable.

exactly its a bed song with metaphor about pleasure

Yes I've heard that song before, I've even posted it on here before.

Then why did you doubt the guy? He's proved himself as a good singer in his vocal category, he's never changed from his Les Marquis days.

very good song and good vocal ability, beautiful rhumba.. these are the guys we should support bcz as much as we expect good music from pple like heritier n those of likes, we end up getting disappointed but new comers like Jemreose will always come with great songs for the fans...#Team Jemrose G.C#

He's not really a newcomer, he's got quite a lot of experience having been with Blaise Bula before.

Makes you wonder why he stayed in the shadows for so long at Maison Mere or was he not in the reserve team for some time ?Has the experience and a wonderful voice...So much for the decision making abilities of some of these band leaders !!!

What i have observed is that in Congolese music you need to have certain attributes in order to be recognised. The voice alone will not work, dancing skills, looks, dressing et al really matter and this is how you find the likes of this guy,Eboa Lotin, Adjani, Kabose,Serge Mabiala and many other excellent have not had that recognition. Even the little boys Merlin Bouton and Café Roum have found themselves in the same situation. Just look at the Nicodem who was with Ferre, he's not really a good singer but Werrason gives him all the attention because of his looks,dressing,dance skills.

Sly, that is so true and so sad, looking even at the situation between Bouro Mpela and say Sam-Ilo Tshintou. To me Sam is a better singer but appeared to be a little 'rough'( for lack of a better word) and Geco had more airtime during their shared time in QL. While the band leaders have their reasons( looks,swag,dancing abilities) it makes us miss out on some very good acts were they allowed to shine. Too bad but maybe we have to live with it seeing as it is the 'system'
-
It also require strong personality with good organizational skills. Look at Allain Mpela for example, he is exceptional in singing and charisma but with no strong personality that can tie people around him.
-
That's right Bilele and Symplicity, you've summed it up well. Sam Tshintu and Gecco are perfect examples! Excellent singers but how they present themselves especially Bouro who doesn't really look like the average Congolese person. Congolese musicians are known for perfect grooming and odd or very expensive clothing.
