It still shocks me how a kid that young, who didn't own a guitar could be so incredibly skilled.

Some of future big names from that group like Eleison's Will Ebondaki and I believe Wazekwa's first drummer.

Took me a bit to release it, but the partitions Japonais plays starting at (1:04) is the same as what Rama Ramazani played on Manda Chante's Serbuma nearly 30 years later. Show the level of reasearch a great instrumentalists do.

(1:39)


Will there even be a great documentary on the genre again like "Under African Skies"? I highly doubt it... pure music was at it's peak during that time peiod.

That was Shiro Vuemba’s (R.I.P.) most famous sebene. He played that in the remix of Anzele.



From 1:24 min.. He went to early.



From 7:11 min with Nono’s famous Nsusu ikokele-animation

What Japonais played was a medley of the most popular sebenes of Viva La Musica, Zaiko Langa Langa & Victoria Eleison.

Finally some footage of Bana Odeon. Never actually seen what they looked like or what they sounded like but seems as if every atalaku in the sun was formed there from what I always hear.

Under african skies can never be topped I dont think. Unless someone does some deep deep research on the golden years, but I doubt anyone is gonna be able to pull unseen footage from those years. Great documentary and very informative I watched it about 5 years back maybe thats why I missed the Odeon part.

Crazy how you can almost see the future of someone when they’re still child though

Maybe one day we’ll put out knowledge and technical skill together tocreate a 21st comprehensive documentary. The issue is almost everyone has a complex, so people probably not participate when they find out their rival is also participating. 

@Matebu

If the documentary filmmaker was smart, he would organize a team to conduct interviews with several artist under different pretenses.

Then he can compile the footage into a cohesive project, but that's just my idea...

If you pay Koffi, Ferre, Fally, Werra, JB 50k dollars for making a documentary all of them together in one place they will  accept it

Nope. People have tried that... they’re all millionaires. Maybe Trace Afrique is the outlet that could pull it off since they’re all on good terms with the President.
