Didn't Karpmapa start his career as a songwriter.
Karmapa is developing a good road towards taking Congo back to the music powerhouse of Africa. I hopehis mesage does fall to the ears of his comrades in the Music Industry.

Congolese music went and is going far with their music which is rhumba and sebene, it just depends on people's taste. I like both sebene and rhumba but there needs to be more sebene songs which is coming back for the younger artists because Fally is doing sebene songs in his upcoming group album. So when that happens the rest will follow Fally ( as always because he's the leader) and do sebene songs.
Sly non Lingala speakers wouldn't know the difference of lyrics between a love song or a non love song it's all about the rhythm,melody and good singers.

the way he looks young amazes me a lot,he looks same age as clan wenge guys wheteas he is average 10 years older than them
Karmapa's (studio) songs are good until you hear him try to sing live...then you'll understand why rhumba heads are not booking him.
