Amour Assassin...

In the DRC music industry it is not uncommon these days for a song writer to sell his song to more than one singer /producer who usually then puts his own spin on it and releases it.  Most times when this happens whoever the bigger star is who is singing the song will get the most recognition for it.

Today we will look at the song Amour Assassin. This song has been released on Fally Ipupa's latest opus "Power Kosa Leka" but Ferre Gola's vocalist Jus d'Orange recorded and released a video for it just weeks before PKL was released. I actually like both versions very much.  Fally's version is better produced over all with the production being more sleek and modern and the vocal arrangements more smooth while Jus d'Orange's version is more reminiscent of 'pure' rumba with the guitar arrangement taking center stage in the production yet it is less polished. They are both very good vocalists imo and the song is just very well written. You be the judge, which do you like best??

NEW FALLY IPUPA & MEJE 30 VIDEO - TSHOBO

TAMBOUR D'AFRIQUE 06.19.20

I've been struggling with technical difficulties as far as recording the show and also with streaming the show. The music sharing site, imusictweet.com, has suddenly lowered the amount of megabytes one can upload so I can't stream from there anymore. To make up for it I have made a 'video' of the show so that fans can still listen to the show while logged onto the internet. I hope you enjoy this next episode. I also invite you all to listen to Tambour d'Afrique every Saturday night from 10pm to 12am (NY EST) live at www.RadioTriomphe.com

Evolution...

On last week's show Guy decided to diversify his playlist, mixing older Congolese rumba styles with the more new and fresh. In the past most of the selections played were from the '60s/'70s/'80s era which is many times affectionately called 'Le Belle Epoque' ("The Beautiful Era) of Congolese Rumba. In order to grab a wider audience he thought it best to start playing congolese music from the '90s and 2000s. Soon there will be a segment of the show dedicated exclusively to the newer music where new favorites like Werrason, Koffi Olomide, JB MPiana, Fally Ipupa etc will be played. We at Tambour d'Afrique are excited with the way the show continues to evolve and grow.

To all the fans everywhere you are definitely appreciated and you are always in mind with every move the show makes. Thank you very much for your continued dedication and support.


To commemorate the new changes I will leave you with one of my favorite Fally Ipupa songs. Fally Ipupa (picture to the right) is a 29 year old Kinshasa born and raised vocalist and composer. Once a singer for Koffi Olomide's Quatier Latin, he released his solo debut "Droit Chemin" in 2006 to rave reviews. His style is a mixture of traditional Congolese Rumba, Ndombolo and a heavy R&B influence which along with his incredible voice and charming good looks have given him great cross over appeal in the european market. He has even sold out shows in the U.S. and Canada.

Here is his song 'Mabele'. Mabele means 'the Earth' in Lingala. From my limited command of the language I think he is singing to God, the Ancestors, the Earth and giving thanks and praise. Through much of the song he names people. My assumption is that he is naming people in his life that have helped him and who have been important to his life. My translations of Lingala are always rough so if you speak Lingala...PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG! I promise I will not be offended (haha). I will make the necessary corrections.

Sur l'exposition de la semaine dernière le type a décidé de diversifier son playlist, mélangeant des modèles congolais plus anciens de rumba au plus nouveau et frais. Dans le passé la plupart des choix joués avaient lieu 'de l'ère 60s/'70s/'80s qui est beaucoup de fois 'Le Belle Epoque affectueusement appelé '(The Beautiful Era) de Rumba congolais. Afin de saisir une assistance plus large il l'a pensée mieux pour commencer à jouer la musique congolese des '90s et du 2000s. Bientôt il y aura un segment de l'exposition consacrée exclusivement à la musique plus nouvelle où les nouveaux favoris aiment Werrason, Koffi Olomide, JB MPiana, Fally Ipupa etc.. seront joués. Nous au Tambour d'Afrique sommes excités avec la manière que l'exposition continue à évoluer et se développer.

À tous les fans partout vous êtes certainement apprécié et vous êtes toujours à l'esprit avec chaque démarche que l'exposition entreprend. Merci infiniment de votre attachement continu et le soutenez.

Pour commémorer les nouveaux changements je vous laisserai avec une de mes chansons préférées de Fally Ipupa. Fally Ipupa (image vers la droite) est des 29 ans vocalist de vieux Kinshasa et compositeur soutenus et augmentés. Une fois un chanteur pour le latin de Quatier de Koffi Olomide, il a libéré son début solo "droit Chemin" en 2006 aux revues d'éloge. Son modèle est un mélange de Rumba congolais traditionnel, Ndombolo et une influence lourde de R&B qu'avec son voix incroyable et de bons regards charmants ont donnés lui à grand appel d'excédent de croix sur le marché européen. Il s'est même vendu hors des expositions aux ETATS-UNIS et au Canada.

Voici sa chanson 'Mabele '. Mabele signifie 'la terre 'dans Lingala. De mes connaissances limitées en langue je pense qu'il chante à Dieu, les ancêtres, la terre et donne des mercis et l'éloge. Par une grande partie de la chanson il appelle des personnes. Ma prétention est qu'il appelle les personnes dans sa vie qui l'ont aidé et qui ont été importantes pour sa vie. Mes traductions de Lingala sont toujours rugueuses ainsi si vous parlez Lingala... svp ME CORRIGEZ SI j'ai TORT ! Je promets que je ne serai pas offensé (haha). Je ferai les corrections nécessaires.

En outre les fans de d'Afrique de Tambour peuvent maintenant atteindre le type Angrand de centre serveur sur MYSPACE !
