Over the years as I have been (re)discovering Congolese music, I have noticed a cultural connection between Congo and Japan. Years ago when my younger brother was taking martial arts classes he had to learn a whole list of Japanese words and the numbers. My mother (RIP) looking at the list remarked how the Japanese language reminded her a lot of Lingala and how many Congolese names sound ms bazuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09523988181681144407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945845982064178316.post-24506422504270538722019-11-17T00:16:00.000-05:002019-11-17T00:16:05.304-05:00Nalali MpongiLast week Guy was on vacation so there was a repeat of the Miriam Makeba episode of Tambour d'Afrique.

Pepe Felly is also an original band member. Those who write up on Zaiko Langa Langa tend to only mention the names of those who sang upfront at one point or another. But Pepe Felly has been a vital part of Zaiko Langa Langa from the beginning and is responsible for changing Congolese music by introducing the Sebene to the song format.

A beautiful song from the son of Pepe Ndombe (TP OK Jazz and Afrisa International), Baby Ndombe.
