he taught marchouse how to play?

yes in the street group promise musica along with the likes of paty bass,tutu caludji and so on...marchouse was part of a generation of younger guys who arrived before the group kind of collapsed with most of the members joining bigger groups

Wow, interesting mini biography he has given. He trained Marchouse,Musikasika,Rodriguez and many more!! It would be nice to translate the whole interview to English,he has said a lot of things,are you able to do it archos? I will chip in if you can't do it all.

Yes no problem i will do it today

Thanx masta

-coreen is first asked if he is fine he replies that he had been sick few times before but now he is in form
he started his career in the group promise musica with the likes of tutu caludji,alpatchino,paty bass,tocha bass,mboshi lipasa,alino vimba...he joined the group of singer djo poster when he left defao,then later he joined gatho beevans(with the likes of hono kapanga and couple of other guys) then he  joined antichoc and played also in le quatro langa langa as bozi introduced him to his friends and they were impressed so he shared solo on album with  three other soloists demukuse,pepe felly manuaku and caen madoka and played 4 songs
when they returned to  kin there was a problem between him and bozi over the fact he dated a dancer
he reveals he was actually around at maison mere's beginning  and saw how the likes of bill arrived but he was approached by bozi and rejoined anti choc
he was playing lead and sometimes rhythm in anti choc and was the chef d'orchestre, he can also plays bass and keyboards and some people reported that affair he had with a dancer to bozi and bozi said it was alright because he did not want to lose him but people around where putting pressure on bozi and he felt his situation was at risk so he decided to leave and bozi tried to convince him to change his mind but its was too late he had his mind set on maison mere and werra accepted him back since he spent two months at home and did not come straight from anti choc,it was one week before double zenith so it was way too late to get him visa to go with them and that period was quite tough because  maison mere took a while abroad and he had to wait and bozi contacted him again to rejoin as they were going to europe but he refused because he did  not want to look like a guy only interested about europe tours,he had possibility to do a couple of those already and knew opportunities would come again  in maison mere and werra was surprised to see him still around waiting and his first concert as a maison mere member was at stade des martyrs
he worked with all the members of the "dream team maison mere" and was already a friend of some before joining so it was easy to settle and he also played with japonais in the group taz bolingo
he had great moments with anti choc but with maison mere he got much more famous and did bigger things
he is into music since 1987 and trained the likes of  musikasika,marchouse who in promise musica started as a drummer and he converted him into a guitarist,djodjo man the rhythm guitartist of quartier latin,rodriguez,current maison mere singer olivier...
he is asked if marchouse was not hard to deal with given the image he shows these days on tv, and he says yes he has always been a bit talkative but he was serious when he was learning and about what he thinks of marchouse attacking werra he says he is not happy about that and he said to it marchouse and advised him to stop it and he believes he has changed(but journalist says he still continues)
he says its not good for a guitarist to be involved in such things,their job requires a lot of peace and focus to work hard and create and since the likes of dr nico until now he has never seen a guitarist going often on tv to do polemic and he advises younger guitarists to focus on their job and not lose time into such things and adds that one never knows it can happen that a guitarist who has gone too much into polemic leaves in europe and has to do nzonzing(free agent working with any artist) and since he'd have attacked many leaders that's many potential "employers" less because he falled out with them
he says it was his idea to play the primus rumba accoustic without bass guitar but just bass drums and it was a huge success
he still plays solo despite being considered a rhythm guitarist now and until now he keeps creating stuff and giving it to soloists of the group( for example the beginning of kata fumbwa) and thanks to him and how he played in malewa people have restarted to take rhythm guitarists seriously instead of just focusing on solo
for him there is no solo or rhythm it all depends on the notes you want to play because the guitars are the same and he prefers rhythm because there is more variety
he is asked about younger soloists and says they do a great job but he would advise them to do a bit less of those crazy
 sliding stuff and be more into melodies which will become classics like his malewa  or the primus rumba one
about fleche ingeta he says he did  not release a song because he wanted to let the new members shine,but in the next group project he has one song and is already working on other songs as he can write songs
hopefully one day he'll be remembered as a great composer likes papa simaro,shiko mawatu...

Thanks again  Archos for this info... this is one of my favorite rhythm guitarists in congo!

Thank you masta, i really liked the part where talked of the new generation soloists who like to slide about instead of creating proper rhythms,Arc en Ciel needs to hear that part because he likes that sliding noise too much.

Marchouse also needs to hear the advice Coréen has given to not only him but all guitarists, very truthful words indeed that one day the guitarists will be on their own not with their boss maybe he may be in Europe and become session artists playing or arranging music so those people  insulted will not go for their services yet they are good guitarists, guitarists should look at the likes of Maika Munan who work with just about anyone as freelancers.

One other thing i have loved about the interview is knowing that he mentored Marchouse and Musikasika because these guys play like Coréen himself, they mastered his style which he Coréen got from mastering his idol, Papa Lutumba's style and that of others who also follow Lutumba like Shiko Mawatu and in sebene, the style is that of Lokasa Ya Mbongo.

...Great advice to aspiring guitarist, you can't hide behind Odemba and sliding; curve your own niche...

My fav rythmist ..

...Great advice to aspiring guitarist, you can't hide behind Odemba and sliding; curve your own niche...

I think you got the message wrong, it's rhumba odemba he himself plays and it's what he taught Marchouse,Musikasika and others and he says it himself his idol is Lutumba himself the originator of that odemba style Coréen, Tshimanga and Marchouse play. There will be no other style ,the style remains rhumba.
