They are stealing our style. One day i won't be surprised to see rhumba being fully integrated in the white man music.

You may be right, but they CAN'T claim originality for it. I think they like the challenge of replicating how we play because congolese guitare/Soukous riffs are a bit complicated. And looking at the video, this guy is Latino. Colombia and Venezuela are big on Soukous Music.

Congomusic.....ask yourself: "who discovered Victoria falls"?....they say its explorer David Livingstone. But were was the chief and his local people before david Livingston arrived?

Its the people that first saw the falls but that has been robbed away from them. It can happen with this music.

I've followed this guy for a while. He's pretty good. He's based in Washington State.

This statement still doesnt conclude that he's of a different ethnicity, but I get what you mean  ;D ;D ;D ;D. I will like to see his work. Any videos where he's playing solo? I know he plays with Renato Mundele but never caught him on any live videos.

He sometimes plays as a guest with Renato when visiting the UK,hit's unfortunate the videos i took when he played solo were not backed up before my computer crashed but there is one on youtube where he plays bass and some of Franco's guitar partitions.  ;D ;D ;D
