Title: ANYONE KNOWS WHO PLAYED THIS SOLO?
Post by: Congomusiclover001 on October 27, 2015, 15:29
I was watching earlier and noticed that at 2:48 the solo was not played by Alvarito (he played mi-solo here) or even Felly Tyson (he's not there). I know the guy with the dreadlocks but I don't recall the guy standing to Alvarito's left and I think he played that solo. Anyone knows him? Those licks are awesome and I am surprised Fally has not used it since this rehearsal......And that's not Cambodge or Arnauld on the drums. Someone please enlighten me..

Looks like Le Petit Kurukuru to me, whoever was taking the video was moving about too much and the automatic camera focus just messed the picture quality.

Thanks...Never heard of him. Any other work(s) he is featured in? I like his style.

He has played on all the albums Fally and his band have released after his first Droit Chemin. He has played on quite a number of songs but below the sebene songs I know he played on He's my favourite soloist in the band too, his is proper Wenge style including the solo signatures he does.

Ah....now I know who he is. Thanks. He doesn't seem to get a lot of air time like Alvarito and Felly Tyson. FVICTEAM is stacked with good musicians no doubt.

No, he's given airtime, he's played on a number of songs. On the generiques, Arsenal des Belles Melodies, he played the title track of the album itself which is the generique on CD2. I have some concert dvd's including some recent ones, they all take turns to play lead, the Artistic Director who is also a guitarist always plays lead on some rhumba songs so Fally is giving all of them equal opportunities really.

Cool...and the story continues for musicians in Congo. Not getting paid for your work is the biggest mood and morale killers in music.

he definitely is very good, and yes, he has that Wenge style of playing. At least they all get their own generiques. I am still waiting to see Fally au grand complet. That's one DVD I will buy for shizzle.

its difficult to say if he left,but what is know is that he is in france, in the city of tours, quite far from paris,trying to sort out long term papers since his wife gave birth there,maybe he will stay in france and become a "hybrid" member like pitshou concorde in cultura,patou solo in bcbg for example or he will just clearly abandon the group and do some session work or even quit music for a while like some musicians have done before

The struggle is real for musicians. I wish him well. He's certainly a very good guitar player. I just wonder if sessions in Europe are actually good money maker for these guys.
