Despite our music being incredibly documented and recognized if we talk about Ndombolo and Rhumba, it is very hard to find information when the conversation is about Traditional music, for example I was talking to a girl I am seeing and she asked me why a gospel guy made a song who sounded similar to Elok'Oyo so I explained to her that the song of this gospel guy sounded more similar to Mabele Elisi then Fally's Elok'Oyo and explained to her the main 4 Ethnic groups music, and I have struggled entirely struggled to found traditional Congolese Swahili music.
With Block Cadenas if you search online jt is very hard to get the genre of the Song and if you do it comes with some ridiculous tag like World music.
What is the genre Elvis Kumpemba (the little kid) is playing? What is the melody he is making named like? I know that basically this kid just was making his makeshift guitar and played his melodies until Werra went to Elvis region, (I don't remember if it was Bandundu at the time Elvis could only speak Tshabwala) and brought him with Wenge and recorded Block Cadenas, does anyone know what style and what genere is the song that Elvis is playing named like?
