Dream Duet: Abby Suriya and Mpongo Love

 



This is women's history month and I want to focus on Congolese women singers that they have yet to sing together or the ones that should have sung together. I got two Congolese ladies that I selected for you guys for today. 

Cette chanteuse est une individue qui participait dans beaucoup de boulots Congolais. Cette chanteuse qui etait une proche musicale du saxophoniste Empompo Loway. Cette chanteuse chantait avec beaucoup de vedettes Congolaises. Cette chanteuse qui est la mere de chanteuse Sandra. Qui sont les chanteuses que je parle? 

The subjects today are Abby Suriya and the late Mpongo Love. The latter is mother to Sandra Mpongo who is also a singer herself. I actually think if Mpongo had lived longer, I believed that she would have sung with a woman like Abby Suriya. That would have the good idea of them singing together. These two female singers are like opposites attract but it is perfect for us. Abby Suriya is a romantic singer but more expressive in her tone. Mpongo Love is also a romantic singer but softer in her tone. This would be a great musical match. Mpongo's voice a female version of Ntesa in a sense where her voice is very jolly. Abby Suriya's voice is a female version of combinations of Shimita, Solo Sita and Carlyto whom she sang with in the past. 

One reason that they would have and should have sung together would because they both worked with former soccer legend Mayaula Mayoni. They had the luxuries to work with him. Abby appeared on Mayaula Mayoni's Ousmane Bakyoko and Bikini. Mpongo got her name going on Mayoni's song Ndaya which she sang with saxophonist Empompo Loway. 

Speaking on Ndaya. That would be one of the songs that would have been perfect for Abby Suriya and Mpongo Love. Mpongo singing high with Abby singing low. There is another song that would have been perfect. It is also from Mayaula Mayoni. The song he did for Tshala Muana. It is called Nasi Mobali. 

Here is the songs 


NDAYA 

NASI NABALI 

If they had sung together, it would have good for Congolese music fans who love female singers more. 

Second and final series of Congolese women in Dream Duets.
