What's Your Name, Again?

One of my first blog entries for this blog was Nkombo Ya Yo Nini. As I delved into the collection of Congolese music I had acquired I noticed that many songs I loved were titled simply by a woman's name. The songs almost always had great stories at their center and expressed a lot of emotion ranging from sheer happiness to melancholy. Congolese music is very expressive by nature but something about those songs dedicated to a particular individual that seem that much more emotional.

Anyway just yesterday a Tambour d'Afrique follower left a comment under that post with a very nice mix of Congolese rumba attached. The mix was inspired by my blog post Nkombo Ya Yo Nini and shares the same name. Once I heard it I had to share it.
Thank you, Antony for sharing your wonderful mix with us! Check out his Mixcloud page where he posts under the name Lemonzorba

CELEBRONS LA VIE DE BIMI OMBALE 1952-2011 LES MEILLEEURS DE BIMI OMBALA www.radiotriomphe.com

LES MEILLEURS COMPOSITIONS DE BIMI OMBALE AVEC LES COMMENTAIRES DE GUY ANGRAND MUANA MBOKA: MBELENGO, MWANA WABI ET PLUS ENCORE

RIP Bimi Ombale UNE PERTE POUR LA RUMBA CONGOLAISE


After a long battle with an unspecified illness, renown vocalist and song writer formally of the legendary band Zaiko Langa Langa, Bimi Ombale passed away April 29th at a clinic in Kinshasa, DRC. This comes as very sad news to us here at Tambour d'Afrique where we are definitely Zaiko-centric.
Bimi, born Andre Bimi Ombale Mwana Wabi, had a beautiful voice and sang lead on many of Zaiko's greatest hits of the 70s and 80s such as "Ando", "Zena", "Lisapo"& my personal favorite "Sandra Lina". By the end of the 70s when many of Zaiko's staple artists such as Papa Wemba and Pepe Felly left the band Bimi remained with Jossart Nyoka Longo to front the group.

In 1988 along with Zaiko Langa Langa he released the album "Sentiment Bimi" which features a medley of some of his greatest hits up until that point.

His other solo albums include "Mbengele Zouk" (1989) and "Balle de Match" (1990).

Bitter disputes during the late 80s caused Zaiko Langa Langa to finally split into two camps Zaiko Langa Langa Nkola Mboka & Zaiko Famillia Dei of which he joined the latter. He wrote many songs for the band. He also sang with Clan Langa Langa at one point. He went on to release music though the 90s. He eventually became a gospel artist.

His contribution to Zaiko Langa Langa and the legacy of Congolese music will live on forever. May he rest in peace.

LA RUMBA CONGOLAISE EST UN RHYTHME ORIGINAIRE DE L'AFRIQUE QUI DURANT LA TRAITE DES ESCLAVES EST PARVENU EN AMERIQUE PLUS PRECISEMENT A CUBA. APRES UN MELANGE AVEC LES RHYTHMES ESPAGNOLS, CETTE MUSIQUE SE RETROUVA ENCORE EN AFRIQUE DANS LES BARS FREQUENTES PAR LES COLONS ET LES AFRICAINS DURANT LES ANNEES 40'S A 50'S. LES ARTISTES CONGOLAIS TEL QUE WENDO, FRANCO, KALLE, NICO, ROCHERAU, ESSOUS ETCCCC.... ONT TRANSFORME CE RHYTHME DANS SON GENRE ACTUEL. LE CHA CHA CHA, LE BOLERO, LE SALSA ETCC... SONT TOUS LIES A LA RUMBA CONGOLAISE.

CONGOLESE RUMBA is related to the Rumba rhythm in Cuba which originated from Africa with the slave trade then that rhythm went back with Spanish/Latin American influence during colonial times in the 40's and 50's. Congolese artistes retook it and transformed it again in its current form. Many rhythms are related to it such as Salsa, Cha cha cha, Guarancha, Bolero (slows)....

Techno Malewa Vol 2

I have been waiting patiently for the sequel to Werrason & Wenge Musica Maison Mere's hit album "Techno Malewa - Sans Cesse" since I heard this song a little bit over a year ago:



Today while logged onto Youtube a user by the name of BJONE posted another song from the sequel Techno Malewa Vol 2 called "Tresor Kandol". Fabrice & Deplik sing part of this song in a clip I posted a couple of weeks ago.
Here is the full song:


The more excerpts and leaked songs that come out on youtube the more excited I get because I know that means the album is coming soon. More great music

LA ZAIKOLOGIE DE WINON MIGNON// ZAIKOLOGY BY WINON MIGNON


LA ZAIKOLOGIE DE WINON MIGNON//ZAIKOLOGY BY WINON MIGNON





Watch live streaming video from radiotriomphe at livestream.com


LA ZAIKOLOGIE DECRITE PAR WINAN MIGNON LUI MEME, SA CARRIERE D'ARTISTE SON AMOUR
POUR LE RYTHME ZAIKO LANGA LANGA. ZAIKOLOGY AS DESCRIBED BY WINAN MIGNON THE ARTIST IN A BLOG ENTRY FROM FACEBOOK AND HIS LOVE FOR ZAIKO LANGA LANGA RYTHMN.

« WINAN MIGNON »

La charmeuse et mélancolique voix de la musique congolaise
Bercer d’émotions les amoureux . . .
Enchanter et séduire les femmes . . .
Charmer les mélomanes et les critiques d’art . . .
Ces quelques mots résument les divers impacts ressentis à l’écoute des chansons de WINAN MIGNON.

Bien qu’ayant refusé le vedettariat et ayant choisi de se tenir éloigné des projecteurs de l’actualité trépidante, WINAN MIGNON peaufine, au fil du temps, ses multiples talents de chanteur, de compositeur, d’auteur et d’arrangeur des œuvres finement ciselées.

Concrètement, l’itinéraire artistique de WINAN MIGNON débute en 1981 à Bruxelles avec « Feeling » son premier album, admirablement réussi grâce, notamment, à l’encadrement de ses amis et aînés musiciens du Tout Choc ZAÏKO LANGA - LANGA.

L'année 1984 sera marquée d'une pierre blanche avec son 33 tours comprenant deux titres : « Merci maman maréchale » et « Elombé nkoyi mobali » enregistrés avec le concours des musiciens du tout puissant Ok JAZZ du grand Maître Franco LUAMBO MAKIADI.



Viendra en 1987 son album « Ina motema » sous la houlette du virtuose de la guitare Maître BENIKO POPOLIPO, talentueux soliste de très nombreux orchestres mythiques congolais.

Très récemment, en avril 2009, il s’est brillamment distingué par un éminent featuring dans « DARFOUR », une chanson extraite de l’album « OUVRIR SON CŒUR » du célèbre chanteur français Francis LALANNE. A présent, nul ne peut douter de l’éclectisme musical de WINAN MIGNON qui, dans son fond, a plusieurs autres styles de musique. Son avenir musical nous réserve plein d’autres surprises.

Richement inspirée de celle des Belgicains dont il fait partie, sa musique est fertilisée par des rencontres fabuleuses... Isidore Zizi NZANGA, Antoine Tony Dee BOKITO, Maxime MONGALI alias IDI MANE, Teddy KINSALA, André BIMI OMBALE et Jossart NYOKA LONGO.

A l’écoute de « LA ZAÏKOLOGIE », son quatrième album, les mélomanes comprendront les raisons de l'immense plaisir exquis, toujours renouvelé, qu'ils éprouvent en s’abreuvant au torrent musical que charrient ses chansons inspirées de mélodies de LOS NICKELOS, YEYE NATIONAL, AFRO NEGRO, AFRICANA de BRUXELLES et de ZAÏKO LANGA - LANGA.

Fort de ces héritages féconds et de ses talents - créateur, WINAN MIGNON nous offre un magnifique album avec des chansons variées et intemporelles qui, n’en doutons pas, contribueront à endiguer la désertification culturelle qui menace notre univers musical.
