Not 100% traditional sebene like we're used to, but nevertheless nice

Then after 5 or 10 years a band will become famous with that style and whites claiming that they created it.

Took the words right out my mouth

Allot of the American music has started from Africa. Especially rapping. I know this cause I took a class that covered this.

Yeah, cultural appropriation is getting worse and worse... then they make a viral sensation out of it. This video is a few years old so hasn't happened yet, but definitely will when we least expect it..... the same way Ivorian's robbed Congolese culture blind for Coupe Decale. Now folks like Arafat are adamant that they created the way they animate

The drummer's style reminds me of how Meridjo used to play early on. This is very Zaiko sounding to me overall

I am not racist but I don't support white people making black music, still to these days I go crazy mad when white people say shit like "Elvis the king of Rock'n'Roll" or "The Beatles and the Rolling Stones are the best band ever" without knowing they were stealing black people style, I am glad that to these days Congolese music stayed between us and I am glad it is in Lingala so white people can 't really steal it.
I am Angolan and you have seen the success of Dança Kuduro an Angolan genre who benefited Dominican and Portuguese people while Angolan singers rarely get through.

Quincy Jones recently said in interview he thought The Beatles were shit and untalented... got white folks outraged, but I was like thank you for speaking facts. I hate how they they try to shove those white bands down our throat in every “greatest all-time” list i see. All those rock albums I’ve sampled and gave a chance have done nothing for me.

As far as rock goes, Jimi Hendrix is one guitarist that has truly made go “wow”. Incredible talent, shame he passed so young

Not quite there but the Bass has a mean streak to it...

I have said it before that white music has come to an end in the computer age and they are losing power with their music. They are actually practicing the African Congolese music at an alarming rate such that one day, we shall wake up to listening white rhumba music...

It won't happen EMO here in Italy the situation is sooo bad, you can feel the absence of powerful black guys or/and African guys who kill it, because all the white people making Italian trap here sucks, the best one actually is an Arabian guy (a Tunisian) who can't make a song without autotune, their live is terrible and they fail to convert in popstars on the other way white people in Italy make soooo much shitty music that even though if they got radio play, video on MTV, Spotify and all that they barely get decent sells and/or views.
In Italy we have a common belief which is: "Italian music will make important headlines, once a powerful black/African guy will get famous".

Not to be cocky but I KNOW I AM THAT GUY.

Not going to happen  there is are too many albums to be referenced to regarding rhumba and sebene from DRC for outsiders to claim it.
