Nyoka Longo vs Pepe Felly

$

Hello people. I am back after some unbelievable times, I am finally back to reality. But I got a beef that I did know that it was serious. 

Pepe Felly and Nyoka Longo has been revived. Looks like death of Papa Wemba has led to this beef but I think I may know the cause. 

Some know that Zaiko Langa Langa in 1969, which had Meridjo, Nyoka Longo, Pepe Felly and Papa Wemba. But Papa Wemba left Zaiko in 1975, and Nyoka Longo started to insert leadership bit by bit but one person did not follow. Tat was Pepe Felly. Pepe Felly started to become very poular in Zaiko and he started to provoke Nyoka Longo and Longo had enough of it and Pepe was suspended in 1979. By 1980, Pep Felly started his group Grand Zaiko or Zaiko Wawa Wawa. One of them had a Nyoka Longo impersonator who was Djo Nickel. Looks like the resentment between Nyoka Loongo never went away ever in their lives. Never. It is so important. 

In fact Nyoka Longo got scared of Grand Zaiko. It had two big stars in Soukous music. Shimita and Defao. It appears that Defao hates Nyoka Longo and it is pretty mutual. So as result of Longo's fear, he stole a few musicians. 

One big player that came from Grand Zaiko was Adamo Ekula. Adam Ekula would be a big player in Zaiko Langa Langa Langa after likes of Dindo Yogo left. He would make a some impressive songs like Top Premier and Exil. 

Any other information for Adamo Ekula 
Profile Consider: Adamo Ekula

Honestly personally speaking, I am addicted to his voice I envy his voice so much. He has been so good and when he sings, it feels like magic. I am certain that Adam Ekula is in good terms with Nyoka Longo and Pepe Felly. 

Also what gives away their feud is that you saw them only tolerate each other for other people not to really recognize their tension. 

But their feud goes into how apparently Zaiko actually started. 
Here is the video of the basis of my article 

Now from this video, it is actually how Zaiko Langa Langa started. I have no idea but I have never heard Nyoka Longo actually even speak on how Zaiko has started though he is the leader of this group today. 

But Pepe Felly claims that Zaiko Langa Langa Nkolo Mboka never existed when the group began around late 1969 or Tout Choc Langa Langa. Also he implies that Nyoka Longo did really exist when the group was beginning its process. Oh boy, I don't what Longo will say but I doubt he will say anything. 

Also he implies that he is the one who knew real talent and kind of implying that Nyoka Longo does not apperciate or acknowledge talent. He mentions Adamo Ekula and Shimita. 

I am not sure if Adamo and Pepe Felly get along. I will probably never really know. 

I will finish with this, I know Nyoka Longo and Pepe Felly will probably be great friends at all but this leads me to wonder about the Papa Wemba situation with Nyoka Longo since Papa Wemba was closer to Pepe Felly. Who knows? 

Franco: L'Afrique Orientale

Franco était très populaire en Afrique Orientale. Penser de la Zambie, le Kenya, la Somalie, l'Erritera, l'Ethiopie, l'Ouganda et la Tanzanie. Le pays de l'Afrique Orientale ce qu'aime Franco plus est le Kenya. 

Mais Franco a eu un gros accident. Ce n'était pas la faute de Franco lui-même. Il est arrivé en Tanzanie. Selon les paroles de Simaro, il a dit que quand Franco est venu à la Tanzanie, il a veu les gens sont tombées et même mourir pour voir Franco ou visister Franco ou même toucher Franco. C'est clair qu'il était grave avec cet accident en Tanzanie.

Pendant les années 1980s, Franco a trouvé des fanatiques en Ethiopie. Franco trouves quelques chsoes spirituelles dans son voyage en Etopi. Aussi, il avait un bon temps avec ses frères éthiopiens. 

Franco a parlé un peu de ses amis éthiopiens dans cet émission en 1985. Il a dit qu'ils l'ont invité au Saxophoniste Manu Dibango. C'était la situation pour demander aux gens avec développement de l'Afrique.

La musique de Franco a touché les gens en Tanzanie. Nous trouvons que quelques musiciens qui aimaient la musique de Franco. Un grand exemple était Mbaraka Mwinshehe. 

(from WorldService) 

Mbaraka Mwinshehe était un musicien qui pensait trop de Franco. En fait, il fait une chanson du hommage pour les musiciens congolais comme il a pensee de Franco plus. Avec sa musique, il a fait sur qu'il sonne avec sa guitare comme Franco. Le pouvoir et le stylo. 

L'impersonation de Franco de Mbaraka était bon pour lui et il est devenu du succès dans sa vie. Il avait un pouvoir en Tanzanie jusqu'en 1979 quand il était mort. C'était mauvais parce Mbaraka était important pour la musique Tanzanienne. 

Franco touchait beaucoup de gens en Afrique Orientale. Maintenant quand les Africains Oreintales parlent de la musique Congolaise, ils pensent de Franco et son pouvoir. 

La Tanzanie et Le Kenya et les autres sont des pays orientales qui avaient le grandeur de Franco. 


Were Nyoka Longo and Papa Wemba really FRIENDS?

I am so happy that I enjoy the music of Zaiko Langa Langa and Papa Wemba also. But I have a question. It is stupid but it is important. Were Nyoka Longo and Papa Wemba really friends? Really FRIENDS? I have no idea. 

Here is where it comes from. It is the war between 
Nyoka Longo and Pepe Felly. It is clear these two men hate each other and they will never be friends since they have their own ways of living. It leads to Papa Wemba. Was he really friends with Nyoka Longo. 

I will give two possible scenarios 

I will start with yes.

It is possible that Nyoka Longo and Papa Wemba were friends because they never had bad words for each other. Unlike other artists, Papa Wemba always had respect for Nyoka Longo. Also Nyoka Longo is probably thankful that Papa Wemba left Zaiko because he leads the band while Papa Wemba became a big international act. 

I will go with no. 
But it is also possible that they were not friends because they hardly made new music together since 1974 except in 1983 and in 2014. Also it is very clear that Papa Wemba likely had a stronger friendship with Pepe Felly. Because they did more music together. In fact one of Papa Wemba's signature work was Pole Position which had the services of Pepe Felly and also, Pepe Felly was in Quatro Langa Langa reunion during the 2000 period. It looks to me that Wemba was closer to the side of Pepe Felly. 


I will always wonder. Were Nyoka Longo and Papa Wemba real friends? Who knows. 

Pepe Kalle captured Tanzania

Pepe Kalle has one African country that belongs to him. That is Tanzania. 

Tanzania became Pepe Kalle's place when he came to visit back in the early 1990s and ladies would notice him big time. It helped that Pepe Kalle was a very large man meaning his stomach was big. Also Pepe Kalle knew how to dance which I am sure made ladies so happy. 

Pepe Kalle owns Tanzania because I have been told by some local Tanzanians themselves that many people are naming their daughters name Hidaya. Who is hidaya?

Hidaya is a female name more importantly a Arabic female name which actually means "Wisdom". Which explains why I love that name so much. I plan to name my daughter that name if given a chance. 

Also that name was the center of Pepe Kalle's classic song called Shikamo Seye. 


This song got him huge popularity in Tanzania. Tanzania went from the place of Franco to the place of Pepe Kalle once this song came out as his whole work of Gerant. 

Tanzania became a soukous town and also they went overly nuts when Kanda Bongo Man and he could not even perform because people were nuts. 

But the one who made Tanzania a soukous town in the first place was Pepe Kalle. Pepe Kalle proved that Soukous was a great genre. 

Another reason why I call Pepe Kalle the king of Soukous. 

Tanzania with Pepe Kalle and Kenya with Franco. 

What would Zaiko Langa Langa be like if it was run by Pepe Felly and not Nyoka Longo

Nyoka Longo


Pepe Felly

There is a big question for Zaiko fans. One former member that people speak about the most. It ain't Dindo Yogo or even Papa Wemba. It is Felix Mankauku better known as Pepe Felly

But I do pose a question about them. What would be Zaiko be like if it was led by Pepe Felly instead of Nyoka Longo and Nyoka Longo formed another Zaiko clan maybe called "Zaiko Mabina" or "Zaiko Dance". 

Here is my theory 
Pepe Felly actually would have made Zaiko much better. Really? Yes much better. Because Pepe Felly founded some amazing singers during his great time with Grand Zaiko. I mean think about Adamo Ekula, Djeffar Lukombo, Djo Poster, Shimita and even Defao. Unbelievable. 

I think Pepe Felly would have created some groups within Zaiko and you would see what kind of singers sing together. I mean Pepe Felly had a feeling who was who and which kind could fit in a given song. 

Want evidence of this. Nyoka Longo would steal musicians like anyone but where do they usually come from?


GRAND ZAIKO WAWA.

No kidding. One particular example of this was the addition of Adamo Ekula. He would be a big backup singer in Zaiko and he would make some amazing songs as well as strong vocals.In fact he would be stronger than Malage de Lugendo. I wish Adamo had done songs with Madilu. I think Adamo would have been a great duet partner to Madilu. That is my opinion anyway. 

Also finally Pepe Felly managed to bother Nyoka Longo with the fact that he founded singers who sounded like the Zaiko singers. One Nyoka Longo impostor was Djo Poster. Now you would think Nyoka Longo not care but he did. It bothered that someone who sounded like him. SMH. Anyway, Nyoka Longo would steal musicians from this group like I said before. 

So would Zaiko have been better with Pepe felly. I say yes. 

Dream Trio: Josky Kiambukuta, Madilu System and Mayaula Mayoni

I have been thinking about one great person. Madilu System.

Madilu System was a incredible talent and he had ability to impress people with his very husky voice. His husky voice was able to pass cross people's minds. His one liner was in big line with his success. 

Madilu loved singing with Josky the most when he was in OK Jazz. By 1983, we had the trio of Josky, Madilu and Ntesa. They would sing together until 1986 and the last time that they sang together was in 1987. Actually the last time that they would sing together was in 1989 but 1987 as last time as a trio. 

Josky was also so amazing with Mayaula Mayoni when they worked with Youlou Mabiala. Josky, Mayaula and Youlou got into a group MAMAKI getting some great song. I am so happy that they worked together. 

But Madilu and Mayaula Mayoni played together. Madilu would sing in two Mayaula Mayoni songs and he would also sing with Mayoni as well. They would sing together in Madilu's classic song Voisin. Voisin starts with Madilu, Nyboma, Aime Kiwakana, and Mayaula Mayoni then Pompom Kuleta joins the chorus with Mayoni, Aime and Nyboma when Madilu sings solo. I mean Madilu said Mayoni's name twice. That says it all. 

This is why I say that Josky , Madilu and Mayoni would have been a great trio. They would have given great class to the Congolese Music Scene. Josky would the commander with Madilu and Mayaula Mayoni as his followers.

DREAM  QUARTET 






I am doing a new serious called "Dream Quartet". I am speaking of four singers together singing. Four singers that I wish would have done songs together. I mean four singers who have not sang together all at once. That's the truth. 

It will be all music and all singers that I like or I know would make incredible sounds together. 

DREAM QUARTET COMING. 

Dream Duet: Madilu System and Youlou Mabiala

Madilu System and Youlou Mabiala are my favorite singers in OKJ. Le TPOK Jazz under Franco. 

Now what I am stunned is that Madilu and Youlou never made a single song together. I am so shocked. Because these two singers could have a force together. If Youlou could sound so good with Sam Mangwana of all people, then it would have been even more exciting with Madilu. I mean some people never believed that Sam Mangwana sounded good with Youlou Mabiala. I disagree with them. Listen Okozela trop. You will see the magic of Sam Mangwana and Youlou Mabiala. 

Also Youlou Mabiala had amazing chemistry with Vicky Longomba. People say that Youlou and Vicky sounded similar which in some ways it is true but the difference was that Vicky's voice was much more mellow through than Youlou's voice. 

Just look at this song of Youlou and Vicky singing in a harmony that you can not understand. 

Here is more songs of Vicky during his tenure of Lovy du Zaire which he creates great melody with Youlou in some of them. 


Now remember I just showed two singers that some say that Youlou would never be good with ever in his musical life. Yes Sam Mangwana and Vicky Longomba. If he can sound so good with them, then imagine if Youlou had sang with Madilu. 

Actually for a long time, I had a weird fantasy of voices of Madilu and Youlou.  Recently I was saying that Madilu should have sung with Youlou Mabiala because their voices would have molded together. 

I will explain to you. Madilu would have been Youlou's ideal partner. Because Madilu's voice was husky and it had some specialty that I know that Youlou Mabiala would have love a lot. Youlou would have fitted fit well with Madilu as well. Madilu always had someone who had a more soulful and mellow voices. Think of Malage de Lugendo,Nyboma and Carlyto Lassa. Youlou would have been better with Madilu than another person. I know in my view that Madilu had fire with Carlyto and they were able to move together but it would be much bigger if he sang with Youlou and that is how I see it. 

Furthermore another reason is Youlou Mabiala himself and how he sang with some singers. During his heyday during the 1980s, he created Kamikaze Loningisa. In 1990s, he would do his own OK Jazz. Now these periods, one singer stood out. In fact four singers would catch my eyes. They are Bola Bolithe, Elba Kuluma, Pepito and Tapis Malonga. One person told me that those guys sound heavily similar to Madilu and he is right. The one that sounds the most like Madilu is Bola Bolithe. Bola Bolithe really impressed me with his voice and at times, I thought that was Madilu. I was just stunned. Elba Kuluma was much more aggressive with his voice and he had much more force under his voice that it reminded me of Madilu so deeply. With Tapis Malonga, he is much jolly with his voice and much flowful as a singer and it too reminds me of Madilu so deeply. Bola Bolithe is most like Madilu. 

Based on this, it is very clear that Youlou loved Madilu's voice so deeply. I always wondered and still wonder why no one ever thought of getting these two great singers to sing together. I mean if there is anyone who should have got going with Madilu, it was Youlou Mabiala. Youlou would have had his greatest moments with him. 

What's ironic about this is that Madilu went on to sing with two of the sing-alike singers. Who are they? Bola Bolithe and Elba Kuluma. I wish I was joking but I am not. He would work with them. 

In fact, Madilu was the biggest fan of Elba Kuluma out of all them. According to some folks, apparently Madilu really loved listening to the voice of Elba. In fact it was said that Madilu once joked to Elba that "one day, you will be in OKJ and you will sound like me. I cannot wait for it." Elba apparently told this to someone which signified the friendship between and how much Madilu really believed that Elba had something special. 

That never happened. Bana OK came into form and Elba indeed came to take the "Madilu" role but he managed to find his own twist. 

Finally, with Madilu, Elba would sing on Madilu's last album Bonne Humeur which also had Nyboma and Wuta Mayi as well as Ballou Canta

With this final information, it makes me wonder if Madilu and Youlou had done a collaboration work with some aid from someone like Elba, how would it be? 

Who knows? I am going to another post related Madilu and Youlou. 

Dream Trio: Defao, Kester Emeneya, Werrason

Hello friends, I am ready to do a dream trio that some people will hate with passion. Deep passion but I will do it. 

I am going to do a dream trio that should have happened with the Generation Zaiko with Generation Wenge. I am talking about Le Grand General Defao, King Kester Emeneya, and Roi de forêt Werrason. These three would have been the great trio in the age of Wenge and Zaiko. Why? 

I will give some reasons
1) Werrason is not a great singer but he can sing well in a structured choir 
2) Kester Emeneya is so diverse with his voice that it can move in any direction that you see fit
3) Kester Emeneya and Werrason sound similar but you can put them in different roles regarding choirs.
4) Defao can add the energy with choir alongside Kester Emeneya and Werrason
5) Defao sounds like Pepe Kalle 
6) It can act like Empire Bakuba 

If this trio existed, you would see Empire Bakuba like voices in a given song. But there is a twist. Usually Pepe Kalle and Dilu Dilumona are the low range singers but this case the "Pepe Kalle" and "Dilu Dilumona" are a bit different. Defao would play the Dilu Dilumona role and Werrason would play the Pepe Kalle role while Kester Emeneya would play the Papy Tex. Kester is able to sing high notes better than the other two, so he would be the "high range" singer. 

I am not saying that Werrason sounds like Pepe Kalle nor Defao sounds like Dilu Dilumona or Kester Emeneya sounds like Papy Tex. But I am only speaking how they would likely sing if they sang together in a song or songs. However as I said before, Defao sounds similar to Pepe Kalle. Dilu Dilumona did sing on a Defao song which he sang alongside Likinga Redo

Now Defao did work with Werrason on his Bana Congo album and Werrason also worked with Kester Emeneya on a song from the album "Toujours Humble". Though Werrason did not sing alongside with them, I do think if they did sing all together, it would be a well arranged choir. That is my opinion. 

Dream Trio: Josky Kiambukuta, Koffi Olomide, Madilu

Hello everyone. I got a trio that should have been here for us to enjoy. It is a good trio in my view if you ask me. 

This is the edition of Josky Kiambukuta"Djo Sex", Koffi Olomide"Mopao Mokonzi" and Madilu System "Le Grand Ninja". 

I don't get it at all. These three singers never did a song or an album especially during the early 1990s. I mean this would have been the time since Koffi was still a upcoming and Josky and Madilu were big stars at this time. 

I believe that Koffi, Josky and Madilu would have had amazing time singing together and it would reaffirm with Koffi's raspy voice with Josky's always good excellent with Madilu's good sounding baritone. 

Don't believe me. Watch this video to see my argument 

Hmm, you see now. It is so good that it makes me mad that it was short. 

What was Koffi thinking not get Josky and Madilu into some of his songs during this period. I mean if Koffi had done a few songs with Josky and Madilu alongside him, boy we could have had some amazing moments in Congolese Music history. 

Finally, I bet right now Koffi is probably regretting this because finally he got to sing with people he should done songs with long time ago. Case in point Evoloko Jocker. I have said that Evoloko would be a great duet partner for Koffi. Fortunately Evoloko is still around and Koffi finally decided to do a song with him that should be during the early 1990s as well as doing a song or album with Josky and Madilu. 

Regardless, I am so happy that this video exists because it shows what could have been a great trio in my opinion that never got into an actual song let alone a LP or album for that matter. 

Dream Duet: Kester Emeneya, Youlou Mabiala

Hello people. I am ready for another dream duet that should have been in Congolese Music that never happened. 

This is the edition of King Kester Emeneya the leader of Victoria Elesien and Youlou Mabiala the leader of Kamikaze Loningisa. These two should have been duet partners in my eyes. 

This is part of tribute to King Kester Emeneya. 

Part of the reason is that Kester Emeneya's singing with Malage de Lugendo is pretty impressive. Their chemistry is so strong and people can notice the incredible power of Malage and Kester's voices together. 

Actually Malage de Lugendo sounds somewhat similar to Youlou Mabiala. Only unfortunately, his voice is bit lighter and softer than Youlou's kind of voice. 

Youlou Mabiala would be a good partner to Kester Emeneya for another reason, I got three reasons:
1) Youlou has appreciated some good baritone voice 
2) Kester loves complex high sounding singers. Listen to him singing with Papa Wemba 
3) Kester and Youlou would be able to not miss bit as they sing together 

Youlou has sang with someone who kind of has the sound of Kester Emeneya but sounds more like Josky Kiambukuta. His name is Toupi Toukal. When I hear him sometimes, I think of Josky Kiambukuta but I also think a little about Kester Emeneya. 

The voices of Malage de Lugendo and Toupi Toukal convinces me that I believe that Kester Emeneya and Youlou Mabiala would be a perfect duo. 

I know that fans would be so happy if these two had done a song or songs together. 

Dream Trio: Coupe Cloue, Josky Kiambukuta, Lara Fabien

Hello friends. I am ready to give more trio post but this will be international. Three stars from three different countries. 

Coupe Cloue Sr of Haiti
Josky Kiambukuta of Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly called Congo Kingdom, Belgian Congo, Zaire) 
Lara Fabian of Belgium/Canada

Why these three singers together. Because of one common reason: Their french is like water. I know also that Josky's voice was so diverse that if he had sang with Coupe Cloue Sr and Lara Fabian, it would be in harmony regardless how Josky sang. 

Also I know that love songs are three's specialties. Coupe Cloue attracted a lot of women with his raspy romantic voice and he was able to impress women and make them to just get out there all sexually and be as expressive as possible. Josky Kiambukuta was able to put ladies to a well rest and dream about their dream partner whenever Josky gave his voice into songs especially in the OKJ years. Even during the Bana OK years, he was still able to impress ladies and his voice never disappointed anyone especially ladies. With Lara Fabian, she is the more feminine voice that is needed. Her voice is soft but not as aggressive as let's say Celine Dion but pretty soft. Celine Dion and Lara Fabian actually sound pretty similar as they can give the raw emotion needed in any given love song. Like Celine, she gets very sensitive with her voice. Also, Lara Fabian really wants you to love her or love someone when she sings her songs. Finally, she sings as she is the person that she may be singing about. 

Look at Coupe Cloue at his best. TIBOM

With Josky, here is one of the important love song from Josky. FARIYA 



Here's the most famous song from Lara Fabian. JE T'AIME 


Now taking from Lara Fabian's song Je T'aime, I believe another version should have been done. But this song is completely different from Lara Fabian's version. 

This song would bring some latin tunes with congolese sounding guitars as well as some loving French lines. 

This version would demonstrate Josky's silky vocals as the lead singer in the song and he would impress ladies with his fantasy for a good love time as a person. It would also demonstrate Coupe Cloue's ability to put his raspy voice in a good use as a singer. Lara Fabian's voice will come in and soften all the song and make you have incredible emotion. 

This is would have been the situation if a trio like this had existed. Imagine? These three French speaking singers together. A great song with some incredible passion behind song or songs. 


Dream Duet: Celine Dion and Josky Kiambukuta

I am going on a international duet but this one would have made perfect duet in my view. Just pure perfection. 

I am speaking of Congolese legend Josky Kiambukuta and Canadian genius legend and great international soul Celine Dion

Why these people together?

Because both of them are Francophone people and their french are impressive and spot on. Celine Dion also knows English and Josky knows some English and know Lingala and Kikongo. 

Another reason is that I know Josky's voice would fit perfectly with kind of voice like Celine Dion. Both have a common theme. They are both able to hit low and high notes. Also they are able to impress you in a soulful way. Their voices are kind of soulful which provides a great asset in any given love song. Whether good or sad love song. 

I got two songs from Celine Dion that show some beauty of Celine Dion's french. Just lovely. 
JE SAIS PAS 

Pour que tu m'aimes encore 

Let me show Josky's two incredible love songs that show you his greatness 
BAPENSEES 
FARIYA 

Now imagine if these two people had done some songs together, you would have some great spark in their duet. 

Finally, you would see more fire of these two artists because sometimes you are best when you are opposite someone else. That would have been the case no doubt with Josky and Celine Dion. 

Dream Quartet: Adam Levine, Gavin DeGraw, Josh Groban, Keith Urban

Hello guys, I want to give you a dream quartet which is the first one for you to enjoy to imagine. Fortunately this one could be plausible. 

I am speaking of Adam Levine, Gavin DeGraw, Josh Groban and Keith Urban

These four male singers are truly gifted and they are able to sing and sing their souls out. I know that they are some of the most gifted male singers of this generation. 

This is a practical one. First of all, these men are multi-talented and they know how to make their make. Their voices are quite different and it will make a harmonious sound as male singers. 

Keith Urban is more relaxed while Josh Groblin is a opera singer while Adam has the aggressive pop rock sound and finally you have a soulful voice from Gavin DeGraw. With these four men, you would have a beautiful song or beautiful songs. 

This would be the ideal quartet because they have their sounds and I believe that they combine to turn into a beautiful sound as you would listen to their vocals. 

This would be a great moment in American music if this quartet was to happen. 

Dream Quartet: Koffi Olomide, Papa Wemba, Kester Emeneya, Reddy Amisi

Great quartet that should have came long time ago when these four stars were at their peak. 

Viva La Musica leader Papa Wemba with his former singers Kester Emeneya, Koffi Olomide and Reddy Amisi. 

I am surprised that during the Wake Up period, no producer attempted to get Papa Wemba with Koffi Olomide, Reddy Amisi and King Kester Emeneya to do a song together or songs together. Why do I say this?

Because it was at the time when these four people were at their great success and Clan Wenge was not quite big just yet. Papa Wemba had a classic period and since he was doing work with Koffi, it should have made sense to put Kester and Reddy to tag along with them. 

I know these four singers would have fitted together very well in a given song. They could have done some remix songs of their classics during the days of Viva La Musica. 

I am sure that some of Koffi's classic songs would have fitted well with Reddy, Kester and Wemba. Think of Tokosuka wapi, Papa Bonheur, Synza, Lady Bo or Ngoliba. 

Or better, it could be with Reddy Amisi with his solo albums where he could do a song or songs with Kester Emeneya, Koffi Olomide and Papa Wemba singing alongside him or he could do solo vocals with choirs of Emeneya, Mzee Fula Ngenge and Mopao Mokonzi. They actually sounded beautiful together as a choir group. Listen to Synza, you will see the beautiful choir of these three singers. That would have been a great choice as a choir group alongside with soothing vocals of Reddy Amisi. 

That is my feeling about what never happened of this dream quartet. 

Imagine Madilu and Tabu Ley?

Hello people. I am going to do a post about something that I should have done years ago. It is about Madilu and Tabu Ley. 

Until Madilu passed away, very few actually knew that Madilu was in Afrisa International of Tabu Ley. Many of us did not know until he passed away in 2007. 

Turns out that Madilu indeed had played for Tabu Ley. But however he never did a song with Tabu Ley but he sang with future OKJ associate Kiesse Diambu. Kiesse Diambu and Madilu did have amazing moments together in OKJ and also apparently in Afrisa International. 

I did not care much about a imagination of Madilu and Tabu Ley duoship until I saw this video. 

I saw the performance of Sorozo with Dodo Munoko, Carlyto Lassa, Madilu and Tabu Ley with a female singer. I was so shocked how well Tabu Ley and Madilu sounded together not only by vocals but chemistry was so strong. I could not believe that. 

It made me wonder what if Madilu and Tabu Ley had done songs together? I don't know but I wonder every day. 

When I listen to Tabu Ley's late 1970s records such as Sorozo itself, I believe the song would have better done with the services of Madilu himself. I think Madilu would have added more fire to song than even Mimi Ley did. I like Mimi Ley but based on Madilu's 1970s songs, I think Madilu would have been improved the song a bit more with Kiesse Diambu and Tabu Ley. 

But also with some Madilu songs, I could have seen better sounding with Tabu Ley. In fact I have three songs that would have been better done with Tabu Ley. Madilu's 1993 song Nzele, Madilu's 1998 song Consolation and 2007's classic Tonton Gigolo. Tonton Gigolo would have fitted the choir sound of Madilu and Tabu Ley perfectly. Tabu Ley's voice was still strong about 2005-07 period. But Nzele would have been the song for a duet between Madilu and Tabu Ley. I know their chemistry would have been on top. I would have seen great moments between these men together in that song in particular. 

I will let you guys decide if you think Madilu and Tabu Ley duo would have been a good thing? 

Pepe Kalle's classic song Zabolo

Hello people. I am speaking of great song coming from Pepe Kalle. 

That song is Zabolo. Zabolo is a big song coming from Pepe Kalle. It had demonstrated the great confidence of the King of Soukous. Pepe Kalle. 

It was beginning of a legend coming up. His ability to cry about the evil spirit is what is the heart of the song. He prays that God will help him and make him less miserable around people like Satan. 

He did great solo singing. He sang strong vocals with Dilu Dilumona and Papy Tex. His animations were incredible and genius material. His ability to animate and the responses from Dilu Dilumona and Papy Tex were excellent. Nothing missed a beat. It was great Soukous in this song. 

It was only the beginning of the soon King of Soukous. Years later, Soukous made Pepe Kalle into the great legend that he is. 

Zabolo was the beginning of Pepe Kalle's greatness in Soukous Music.

This should have been a duo years ago. To this day, I don't why no one got these men from bandundu to sing together. Mr. Tipo Tipo was an idiot for not getting this men to do a song together whether singing solos or singing a choir together. I don't how that it did not go in his album. 

I am speaking of Kester Emeneya and Tabu Ley. I know they performed together live but I am super shocked that they never did a song together. This would have been the great duo to do a song together. 

These two artists are both from bandundu but they are different singers but they were into Soukous music and appreciated Rumba music. 

People will think that Tabu Ley and Kester Emeneya would have never sounded good together. I disagree and I got a video to prove my point. 

Look here

Tell me again that these two would have never been good together. Please watch that video and tell me again that they would have never been good together. 

It enrages me so much that we never got a proper duet of these men together. It would have been a great song of these two men together. 

But then again these men did perform together in 2002. Their performance will remain as one of the best performances to come in Congolese music.
