Revue: La chanson JOJO du fils du chanteur Desouza Santu (Fabrice Desouza)

 


Bonjour tout le monde. Cette version que je fait, il sera en français. Parce que je fais une revue d'un artiste qui a un bon futur dans mon opinion. Il s'appelle Fabrice Desouza. Il est fils du grand chanteur de Langa Langa Stars, Loningisa et Empire Bakuba qui s'appelle Desouza Santu. Il fait une chanson pour nos plaisirs. 

C'est Jojo. Cette chanson parle d'un homme qui a double personnalités et il aime deux femmes et comment il comporte different avec ces femmes. Il parle aussi comment cet homme joue un jeu terrible avec sa femme officielle et comment il va abanndoner sa femme pour un autre aventure avec un autre femme. Nous savons les gens comme ça dans les deux Congo et le monde entier. Nous avons des hommes qui veulent plusieurs femmes pour leurs plaisirs. Fabrice Desouza fait un bon choix de parler de cette chanson dans mon opinion humble. 

Je pense que Fabrice Desouza est bien fait comme un grand chanteur. Il connait pour chanter et pour donner les sentiments amoureux au temps que nous pouvons comprendre. Je connais aussi qu'il donne des souvenirs des chanteurs comme Evoloko Jocker, son papa Desouza et le feu Papa Wemba. Les émotions que je peux sentir c'est sincère. Ça c'est mon chanteur du futur. Fabrice connait la musique dans son coeur. 

Pour quelqu'un, la musique peut venir des formations musicales, beaucoup de pratiques et beaucoup de temps pour faire quelques choses avec sa voix. Mais une autre, la musique va venir du coeur. Pour Fabrice Desouza, la musique vient du coeur. Il est quelqu'un qui a du talent naturel et il travaille son talent naturel en bonne fonction. Fabrice Desouza est un chanteur charmant. Il donne son charme dans les manières correctes et les façons très professionnelles. 

Pour moi, quand j'entends cette chanson, je pense de l'un l'autre. Je pense du fils du feu chanteur Pépé Kalle. Il s'appelle Fiston Kabasele. Il est un chanteur du groupe La Villa Nova qui est espagnol pour la nouvelle ville. Le patron du groupe La Villa Nova est l'ancien chanteur de Wenge Maison Mère du chanteur Werrason qui s'appelle Fabregas Métis Noir. Je pense que cette chanson doit être remixé avec l'addition de la voix de Fiston. Je sais que ces chanteurs seront bien ensemble. Fabrice et Fiston seront une force ensemble dans mon opinion humble. 

Je vais parler de Fiston Kabasele et je vais ajouter Fabrice dans cette histoire aussi.

Dream Duet: Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe

 Papy Tex | Diskographie | Discogs

Pepe Ndombe Opetum - Congolese Music

We got a dream duet edition of dedication of Papy Tex. We got two people that I think Papy Tex should have sung with. This is the first edition. Who is the first act that should have sung with Papy Tex. This man was the singer that got to sing with both Franco and Tabu Ley. He is known to have a similar voice to Tabu Ley but is better singing lower. He is one of the key players of Bana OK? Who am I speaking about?

Ndombe Opetum or many people call Pepe Ndombe. Pepe Ndombe would have been a great partner to Papy Tex. Why? Because as I mentioned he is the lower version of Tabu Ley. Papy Tex is heavily influenced by Tabu Ley. Papy Tex does sound similar to Tabu Ley but more softer with his voice. Like Tabu Ley, Ndombe and Papy Tex were romantic kind of singers and knew how to impress ladies with their ladies. Their voices have remained strong over the years. I have twenty songs that would reflect the beautiful reflection of these two men. 

1) L'estime n'est pas l'amour by Pepe Ndombe
Tabu Ley: L'Estime N'est Pas L'Amour 
2) Na Yebi Ndenge Bokolela Ngai by Pepe Ndombe 


3) Osala Erreur by Pepe Ndombe

4) Male by Pepe Ndombe 

5) Matondo by Pepe Ndombe 

6) Oye Lisusu by Pepe Ndombe 

7) Mpenzi Bupe by Papy Tex (remake of Papy Tex anekudja)
8) Naluka yo sabina by Papy Tex 
9) Monsieur Malonga by Tabu Ley 
10) Gigi (Gisele) by Papy Tex or Soki Dianzenza 
11) 
Cherie Nyota by Soki Dianzenza 
12) Aideu Leya by Papy Tex 
13) Angela by Pepe Ndombe 
14) Miwela Miwela by Grand Kalle 
15) Monano by Tabu Ley 
16) Allo Cherie by Papy Tex 
17) Heritier by Pepe Ndombe 
18) Yo Seli-Ja by Josky Kiambukuta 
19) Elisee by Pepe Ndombe 
20) Muanetu by Pepe Ndombe 


These songs would have fitted well Ndombe and Papy Tex because their voices are Tabu Ley school with two different levels. Also I know Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe would have assisted well with the songs because both are hard workers as singers and they know how to sing professionally at all times. This is part of the reason why I believe that Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe would have been the perfect musical couple. 

I know if someone had a Tabu Ley tribute special, I would have chosen Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe. Because when they would sing Tabu Ley songs, I know people would enjoy the voices of Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe. Also they would have made the ladies go insane with Tabu Ley's earlier songs because I know that ladies would feel very attached to their voices. 

Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe would have been one perfect duo. 

This is the end of Papy Tex special duet edition.

Dream Duet: Kwamy Munsi and Papy Tex

 

We got a dream duet edition of dedication of Papy Tex. We got two people that I think Papy Tex should have sung with. This is the first edition. Who is the second act that should have sung with Papy Tex. This man was the singer that got to sing with both Franco and Tabu Ley. He would play with Franco during the 1960s era and return to Franco in 1970 until 1972. He would end up singing with Tabu Ley until his death in 1982. He would also sing with Grand Kalle at one point and had a band called Orchestre Revolution. Who is the person that I am speaking of?

I am speaking of Kwamy Munsi. Kwamy is one good singer. He is better than accredited for. Some people say that Kwamy was average but I disagree completely. Kwamy actually sang well. I will show you an example where Kwamy sounded more than average 

The song here is called Mbanda na Ngai. He sang this song with Mujos and Franco the legend. He started with Mujos and then harmonized with Franco. Kwamy made a short vocal and it sounded pretty good. So to say that Kwamy was average is laughable. Even Franco was not average. Sure Franco was not the best singer but he could sing and hold notes pretty well. Let's be reasonable. Franco and Kwamy Munsi were good singers and great harmonists. 

Kwamy Munsi would be the God scent musical partner for Papy Tex. Kwamy has a soft voice and he would be very good for a voice of a Papy Tex. Listen to how he sang with Youlou Mabiala and Vicky Longomba as well as Grand Kalle and Tabu Ley. Four great tenorists all were perfect in harmonizing with Kwamy himself. He created a soft yet strong vocal singing. Something Dilu Dilumona himself spoke about within influence of Kwamy in even the musical voice of Ferre Gola 

You can hear Kwamy Munsi reference: 59:06-1:00:22 

So you can see that Kwamy made his mark in singing. Back to Kwamy and Papy Tex, here are six songs that would have fitted their voices together. 

MIV AIS TEMOIN BY KWAMY 


FAUX MILLIONAIRE also known as MOTONDO BY KWAMY 


BIMANSHA BY PAPY TEX 

PARDON PAPI BY PAPY TEX

COCO QUI EST LA BY GRAND KALLE

SANGO YA MAWA BY PAPY TEX 

These songs would have shown the strong force between Kwamy Munsi and Papy Tex. Because they show great emotion and it gives you the idea of the what the songs are about. Also they fit the Grand Kalle music in their perspective. Kwamy as a second voice singer and Papy Tex as a first voice singer. These two men would have definitively given great joy the Congolese music population. Music fans should know this especially since they were good at love songs and were perfect harmonists. 

I know that Papy Tex would have been very good with Kwamy Munsi. I also know that Kwamy would have a great time with Papy Tex. In part because Kwamy had strong connection with Tabu Ley during his final years. Imagine if someone got Kwamy with Papy Tex, you would have a great nzonzing project. No debate about. 

This is the first edition of Papy Tex Dream Duet edition.

Dream Duet: Dilu Dilumona and Youlou Mabiala

 


We got a dream duet edition of dedication of Dilu Dilumona. We got two people that I think Dilu Dilumona should have sung with. This is the first edition. Who is the first act that should have sung with Dilu Dilumona. This man was one of the most favorite Franco singers of OK Jazz. He was the boss of the great group Kamikaze Loningisa. Who is the individual that I am speaking about?

I am speaking of Youlou Mabiala. This man is one of all the great singers in Congolese Music. I am speaking of Brazzaville and Kinshasa sides. He is one person that could really harmonizing with anyone in reality. He was very effective with Franco, Lola Checain and Michel Boyibanda. 

Dilu Dilumona and Youlou Mabiala would be a great duo. Why you ask? Because Dilu is a classic sounding singer and Youlou seemed to have love for those of kind of singers. Case in point Youlou copycat but of second voice name Serge Kiambukuta. He had that kind of voice and Youlou loved that. That is why Dilu Dilumona would have been perfect to sing with Youlou Mabiala. If they were to sing together, their voices would make a classical harmony and it would have been made simple but enjoyable. 

Here are six songs 

MASSI BY YOULOU MABIALA

ZOZO BY DELE PEDRO 

MUNGU BY DILU DILUMONA 

BAKOKA TE FIANCEE BY BAVON MARIE MARIE  

NGAI NA YE BY DILU DILUMONA 

KUMBE KUMBE BY YOULOU MABIALA 

These six songs would be have been perfect for the voices of Dilu Dilumona and Youlou Mabiala. I chose these six songs because these songs would have major improvement if these men have sung together. The best example of this would have been the song Kumbe Kumbe. This song is where definitively a Dilu voice would have been more useful. The Diatho Lukoki copycat sounded good but he made some minor but notable gaffes and I know for some perfectionists, they would be very mad. For me, the harmony would have been better done if Dilu Dilumona had harmonize with Youlou Mabiala. Dilu never makes mistakes which something very important as a singer. That is one great strength of Dilu that is not credited enough in my opinion. Kumbe Kumbe would have been better well made with Youlou Mabiala harmonizing with Dilu Dilumona. 

This is the end of the Dilu Dilumona duet edition. Now we will focus on Papy Tex duet edition special. 

Dream Duet: Dilu Dilumona and Sam Mangwana


We got a dream duet edition of dedication of Dilu Dilumona. We got two people that I think Dilu Dilumona should have sung with. This is the first edition. Who is the first act that should have sung with Dilu Dilumona. This man was singer that got to sing with both Franco and Tabu Ley. He is often referred as a "Pigeon Voyageur" since he did so many adventures. Who is the individual that I am speaking about? 

I am speaking of Sam Mangwana. He is still alive and well. He has had a long career. He has sung with two great legends. Franco and Tabu Ley that I am speaking of. He has worked with several musicians such as Dino Vangu, Dizzy Mandjeku, Syran Mbenza, Mayaula Mayoni, Josky Kiambukuta, Lola Checain, Michel Boyibanda, Youlou Mabiala, and others. 

Dilu Dilumona and Sam Mangwana would be the Pepe Kalle and Tabu Ley duo but in a secondary style. Dilu is much more classical and softer than Pepe Kalle was. Sam would be more masculine than Tabu Ley ever was. Together, you would have another version of Afrisa singing with anyone that fits the style of Dr. Nico on guitar. I know that Dilu and Sam would have connected well musically. 

Here are six songs that would have fitted well the voices of Dilu Dilumona and Sam Mangwana. 

MARABENTA (VAMOS PARA O CAMPO) BY SAM MANGWANA 

MIZI BY DILU DILUMONA 

MADO BY CELI BITSHOU 


YO NAPONI BY DILU DILUMONA 

MBANDA KAZAKA BY MAYAULA MAYONI 

CHERIE BONDOWE BY MAYAULA MAYONI 


These six songs would have been perfect for the voices of Sam Mangwana and Youlou Mabiala. Why? Because the songs except Cherie Bondowe, Mbanda Kazaka and Mizi, these songs speak of endless love but it is done in way that is simple but emotional more and less as well as the heartbreaking songs. I notice that in these songs and that is why I believe Dilu Dilumona and Sam Mangwana would have been perfect for one another. Because they knew how to make emotional songs but not got too emotional which attracts some folks who like that style of singing. 

Dilu Dilumona and Sam Mangwana are Africa Fiesta understudies and were influenced by the voice of Tabu Ley. They were well made and they knew how to sing simply but make a mark. That is why I believe that these men should have sung together. 

This is the first edition of Dilu Dilumona duet edition.

Dream Duet: Ntesa Dalienst and Pepe Kalle

 

Hello everyone. We have a Pepe Kalle edition only. We will have two people under this great edition a great legend in Congolese Music. These men come from OK Jazz of Franco. I have found two people that I think would have given Pepe Kalle a great time. Second individual was one of the leaders of Grands Maquisards. He is known for his harmony singing with Wuta Mayi. He would form a close musical bond with Josky Kiambukuta and they would sing in some nzonzings and sing together until 1989.  I would say that he is closer to the voice tone of Nyboma but more jolly. 

I am speaking about Ntesa Dalienst. He was one of the best contributors to the OK Jazz band. He is known for singing about women as they are just as important as men and also having a jolly sound in a sad or a happy song. Think of the songs like Mouzi, Bina na ngai na respect and Dodo. His voice is more of a type to Nyboma. But Nyboma had a vibrato and Ntesa did not have that. But their voices were sort of crystal. 

Ntesa and Pepe Kalle would have been a great duo. Why you ask? Ntesa was effective in singing with Madilu. Their harmony was on point. Since Madilu and Pepe Kalle have a similar voice style (except Madilu was more jolly than Pepe Kalle), Ntesa would have been stronger with Pepe Kalle. Ntesa and Pepe Kalle have loud voices and it would meld very well together. 

In fact Ntesa appeared to be a big fan of Pepe Kalle. He mentioned him one time when discussing the song Non which Franco sang with Madilu from the album "Chez Fabrice a Bruxelles". I discussed somewhat about this great lp here. 
Franco (FABRICE 1983)  
Ntesa mentioned that Franco was very influenced by the voice of Pepe Kalle himself for the song. He also mentioned on how he wanted to really play the style of Pepe Kalle. Perhaps this could be the reason why Madilu made his version called Mayeno which had some preview on his song Pesa Position na yo. 
You can hear Pepe Kalle topic by Ntesa here


I have six songs that would have fitted Ntesa Dalienst and Pepe Kalle very well. 

TANTINE BY NTESA DIALENST 
MOYIBI BY PEPE KALLE

NGANDA MA CAMPAGNE BY LOLA CHECAIN 
MINDONDO ESILA BY NTESA DIALENST 
TABU LIBONGO BY PEPE KALLE 
AWELA AWELA BY FRANCO 

These songs would fit the voices of Ntesa and Pepe Kalle because their voices are very strong and it would mesh very well. Best examples of the showcases of their strong voices would be Mindondo Esila and Tabu Libongo. With Ntesa song, Pepe Kalle would put more force in his voice in that song. With Pepe Kalle, Ntesa would sound much louder which would have made the song more complete if you ask me. Since their voices are loud and strong, they should have definitely sang together. They would make amazing harmonies and also make memorable lines together. 

I know that Ntesa and Pepe Kalle would have had a great bond together since Ntesa was a big fan of Pepe Kalle and Pepe Kalle does have a soft side for OK Jazz and Afrisa. Also, I know that their duet songs would have been memorable and discussed by many music lovers. Finally, Ntesa would have went on detail on his collaboration with Pepe Kalle. 

Would Ntesa and Pepe Kalle duet have been a memorable duo? If you ask me, it would be a definite yes. 

This is end of the Pepe Kalle duet edition. We will go to Dilu Dilumona duet edition of two parts.
