Hello my friends, I got a dream quartet here. This is the perfect one for me. Happy Easter Everyone. This is a gift for you.
It is a combination of religious context, pop context, international context and rumba context.
Whom I am talking about.
Christy Ntesa- Pop Singer
Erick Mpoyi- Religious Singer
Fila Basele- Rumba Croon
Barbard Kanam- International Queen
BTW three of these people are related to famous people. Christy Ntesa is the daughter of the late great singer Ntesa Dalienst. Erick Mpoyi is the son of the late charming singer Djo Mpoyi. Barbara Kanam is the niece of the great musician and composer Maika Munan. Those who don't know, Ntesa and Djo Mpoyi were singers of OK Jazz from Franco. They were known for songs like Mouzi, Tantine, and Massikini. Maika Munan is a composer who has worked with artists like Madilu, Koffi Olomide, Papa Wemba and Pepe Kalle and was a member of Afrisa International from Tabu Ley.
Fila Basele is a former musician of Victoria Elesien from King Kester Emeneya.
These people would be my favorite quartet for several reasons. First of all, they are from Generation 5 or Generation 6 of Congolese Music. More importantly, there is so much diversity. I mean imagine Erick's more religious theme with his song while you have Christy's more poppish sound in her songs then bring in the smooth rumba croon Fila with his songs and finally bring Barbara Kanam who would have made the songs and her songs make more sweet to hear.
How would their harmony go? It would be perfect because Fila's silky voice, Erick's deep soulful sound, Christy's youthful and Barbara's deep mezzo range would create something sweet and I know their harmony would touch many people's hearts.
These are a few songs that I think would fit their voices
Bina na Ngai na Malembe (kanam)
Massikini (djo mpoyi)
Mouzi (ntesa dalienst)
Un pas zele (tabu ley)
Those songs alone would have demonstrated some beautiful harmonies as well as great vocal demonstrations from these incredible singers. I know that many Congolese in Kinshasa and abroad would enjoy so much.
Finally, these people are extremely popular. Christy has a strong base of fans in Brussels. Erick is beloved by many Congolese in Kinshasa. Fila Basele has managed to make his name by doing his own songs and doing cover of great songs by great artists. Barbara Kanam has a strong base in Kinshasa as well as London, Paris and Brussels.
If these people could come together and make music together, I think you got something special. It will make people like me very happy.
This dream quartet would be perfect in my view.
