Ngoma Maguy from the Kin-E-Bouge-Album of Wenge Musica T.T. 4X4 BCBG '91

With Titina on the drums, Masela on the Bass, Alain on the lead and rhythm.

I see this not as a real generique, but more as a folkloric Kikongo-song. Because the song is dedicated to Ngoma Maguy and Ekokota is not really showcasing the cries from the Kin-E-Bouge album, which was normally the case in all generiques of the '90s and early '00s.



Etage Ya Suka from the Pas-de-Faux-Album of Quartier Latin '92.

Felly Tyson on the lead and Jean Louis Manzuguidi on the animation.

Rocky Blanchard Miatezolo's bass really killed the generic and then Do Akongo's Zebola rhythm on 1:41 min.I liked Miatezolo's crazy bass-lines in V12, Magie, Noblesse Oblige & Pas de Faux Pas.  It's strange how Miatezolo didn't really benefit from QL's succes compared to Binda Bass & Pathy Bass. He was far better than Binda Bass & Pathy Bass. He had alot of bad luck by not getting his visa on time for the '98-tour (Zenith, Bercy & Droit de Veto). Still don't get it why Koffi chose Silawuka above him for Attentat & Bercy.

indeed blanchard's quartier latin career is a bit strange,many of the current latino fans dont even know him while the true quartier latin started from him
talking about bassist i dont think any other group in congolese music experienced what quartier latin had in that period
within months they had paty binda blanchard motingia sundabass and silawuka
ngoma maguy was very inspired a song from bana odeon in 80's
