Ricoco sounded a bit like Manda Chante. I wonder what he was thinking when Werrason mentioned his slogans “Nouveau Testament” and “Santu Thomas” in Kolo Budget. However, he would still mention them by himself in La Fille du Roi. When coming to Marie Paul, his voice sounded forced. It’s like he wasn’t feeling comfortable.
Alain Makaba did a great job here. You can feel the hunger he had. People often forget that he used to be a great keyboard player and backed several artists (General Defao, Bimi Ombale, JP Buse, etc.) at Studio Bobongo
The guitar partitions Alain Makaba was great, plus I couldn't stop replaying the introduction of mulolo especially the keyboard he played.
Agreed, hopefully YouTube should upgrade it at the end of the day is someone else archives. The quality of this album sounds exactly like the original Bouger Bouger.
I didn't notice him in Victoria Principal and Rumba Ray. He probably got in Europe through Japan like Gloria Thukadio and Simolo. What did he become ?
Thinking about Fale Fale crediting as 'du Victoria Eleison'. Some few years ago, there was a man called Pasteur proverbe 30/30 who's used to make often videos on youtube to talk about his life and one day, he claimed that Emeneya was seriously thinking about settling in Germany, but it never happened. Maybe that Fale Fale was joining Victoria when singing in Germany. Because when listening to those songs it's seems that he's was settled therem since that he was mostly giving shout-outs to people of Germany
Yes he got in Europe along with Gloria and Simolo, I'm not sure what become of Fale Fale but he appeared on the Comme La Rue videoclip.
Fale Fale Japanese started his singing career in Victoria Veritable Principal along with Bipoli Na Fulu (RIP), Wally Ngonda, Jarrys Fimbo, Safro Manzangi, Tofla, and the rest. Then around 1986/87 he joined Rumba Ray led by Maray Maray, he added his song in memoriam and toured with Rumba Ray in Japan.
That's no problem and understable it's shame that many archives were not saved, and thanks, but then again thanks for writing these articles especially the dates it also interesting to read about these big events.
After Bakolo Keta left Orchestre Kiam, he formed a new group called Baya Baya. Following this, he collaborated with Papa Wemba but it's a shame he never appeared in any Defao's music videos he has also written songs for Defao such as Lomas Manguene.
Apparently Brazzaville had copycat of each famous group from Kinshasa back in the days. Here are other groups that simply were another from brazza Bilengue sakana=Empire Bakuba
Moziki la Juventus= zaiko langa langa
Viva mandolina = anti choc bozi boziana
Extra musica bonk= a mixture of zaiko and wenge
I was to mention the same thing just the other day I was listening to Bilenge Sakana and the vocal lineup reminded of the trio Kadima (Pepe Kalle, Dilu Dilumona, and Papy Tex). And you are right Moziki La Juventus reminds me of Zaïko Langa Langa especially Toupie Toukala voice who reminds me of Likinga Redo funny enough Volvo 840 used to play lead guitar in Zaïko years later.
The band is called L'Agora. Unfortunately there isn't any information about them on the in Internet. I also asked myself these questions when discovering the song
The band is from Congo Brazzaville and the composer of this song is Blaise Patraul. On the vocal section you will hear the late Rigadin Mavoungou who sung with Rapha Bounzeki and Dicky Roi.
