Emission 08.11.07


Last week Saturday Guy announced that the world had lost a great musician. He is known to the African music world as Madilu System. His voice to me is very familiar yet I didn't know him by name until he passed away. He appears on a few of my favorite Congolese songs that I've discovered in recent years such as "Magali" and "Mario" along side Franco. He is also featured in some of the OK Jazz videos I have linked in the past. Learn more about Madilu System and his life and times here: A Congelese Legendary Singer Madilu is no more (Thank you Afropop.org)

Tonight Guy will be paying special tribute to Madilu System at the beginning of the show.

Here are some videos to remember him by. He was a great vocal talent. He will be missed...

Please Excuse...

Please excuse the lack of updates this week. I'm having some computer issues. Last weeks show was great and I will definitely have it to you all shortly. I will also bring you more of Guy's myspace friends later on. Until then please enjoy this Verkys & Veve song that I've been addicted to as of late. It's called Vivita.

MORE MYSPACE FRIENDS...& TAMBOUR D'AFRIQUE TONIGHT


One last weeks broadcast Guy also played a selection each from M'Passi and Strelly Mikobi. MPassi is a female vocalist who was once part of the wildly popular French Congolese rap group BISSO NA BISSO. She has been singing all her life and has been influenced by the likes of Mbilia Bel and even Michael Jackson. Guy played one of her new songs Mama.



Strelly Mikobi is a male vocalist from Kasai, Congo-Kin. He has been singing since a child and has been following his dream since. In '97 he played along side Pepe Kalle and in 2000 participating in Nyoka Longo's group Zaiko Langa Langa. He has worked several other musical projects and is now ready to embark on a solo career. Guy played his soon to be released single Tshiamala.

TRESOR MANUAKU

In a continued effort to introduce more modern sounds to the Tambour d'Afrique format Guy decided to play some music from a few of his Myspace Friends. We discovered that there are so many artists on Myspace making wonderful Congolese and African music, it is only right that we help spread their great music through the radio show and this blog.



First up is Tresor Manuaku. You may recognize the name. Tresor is infact Pepe Felly Manuaku's son. He is a sensation in France and is gaining much popularity in Europe. He is a dynamic performer who not only raps and sings but dances with much passion. His music is a mix of Hip Hop, R&B and traditional Congolese music. He has a new album by the name of Destin which features the song Mwasi Kitoko, that Guy played on the previous broadcast. You can listen to more clips of his music on his myspace page:

He was recently featured on French news. Thank you to Youtuber, gmanuaks for the clip:
