Today's musicians really need to pay attention to songs like this one. I used to religiously listen to this way back. It was only recently that I found out that the Great Alain Makaba was lead and you can feel it. Crisp riffs, just hyping no real animation, bass work impeccable, yet danceable. This whole album is worth a listen.

Unfortunately people consider this "Old Music". They want the "new" music which is just noise as we know well.

You are so right. Most soloists want to sound like Flamme Kapaya who is a beast with a guitar.

Soukous, this is the music that i failed to appreciate back in the days but these days i can tolerate it because we are lacking sebene in today's music but am glad,Congolese musicians have realised that sebene is the way forward and it's all thanx to the small boy Fabregas who has electrified the elders to wake up from their slumber, Fally followed suit and now Ferre has joined in so hopefully the elders join in.

To me this is really the foundation to today's music. It's still the same concept, just improved upon with complicated guitar work and atalakus actually singing as opposed to just hyping like Robert Ekokota did in the past.

True, soukous is the foundation of modern day generiques/ sebene though the concept of sebene itself evolved before soukous music came.
