Alpatchino was key to wembas sebenes. Without him, weak generics and sebenes. MHSRIP.

There was nothing special about Alpacino's animation, am sure had he still been alive today and doing animation for Papa Wemba you would have been calling him an old fart like you do with Kibens and company since he was not a youngster.
Music changes with time so Papa Wemba upgraded like everyone else, his atalukus led by Biscuits des Ecoliers and Bob Djamusket and others have been defending molokai for years and Alpacino couldn't match their creativity that's why he went to singing full time just like Tutu Kaludji did when youngsters like Genta came.
Viva's generiques may not be as powerful as those of Wenge and it's deliberate, Viva's music is more traditional like that of Swede Swede and other traditional congolese bands otherwise, Biscuits Des Ecoliers and Bob Djamusket beat most of these atalukus in some of the big bands we support. I will do a compilation of sebenes by Viva and post here.

Sly.....I have no comment. I am just surprised you can write this. I rate you as a strong music critic. Not this my man.

My brother, you can think of me in any way you want,the fact is that i understand lingala and when am not sure i ask, our congolese brothers here can attest to that,i bombard them with questions as am constantly learning. It is through my understanding of lingala that now i can tell what is trash and what is not, there was nothing spectacular about Alpacino's animation, it was the usual animation,he didn't introduce anything different, those who brought new styles of animation are already known so i stick to my words, there was nothing special that Alpacino created moreover Viva's music has always been about harmonious singing and traditional melodies not sebene or generiques therefore in sebene dept they've been average, Viva stepped up their game on the album Somotrop as that's when the animation and guitar arrangement changed completely.
