It would have helped if congolese artists give credit to the ones that do the instruments. Like American artists do, mawa trop

Bro if Congo was a normal country Flamme Kapaya, Makaba, Alvarito Solo, Maitre Ficarre, Tolbert Solo, Mboka Liya, Sarah Solo, Beniko Popolipo, Felly Tyson, and many other guitarists would have been milionaires. This talent is so much good that everyone that listen to Congolese music either respects it or like it. You will never har say someone that Congolese music is ugly



Check Makaba playing with the guitar


5:11 he basically goes up in the lead solo scale to go back and play to Mi-Solo when he finishes

You can see a video here of the composing of a full congolese tune. The second guitar is the mi-solo. It functions just as another melody line in the tune to make the sound richer. Sometimes musicians add even more, like 4 guitar lines.

My question here is after the chorus, starting at minute 2:59 where the lead starts playing that distinct partition before Alain Mpela starts the "kanisa nanu...." vocal, where is the rhythm guitarist at in terms his licks? Kinda confusing especially in the rumbas.
