This is Josky tribute time. We lost a great singer who was sick but not sick enough where he was near it. So we will do a Dream Duet edition in tribute to Josky. This singer was a singer that came from Viva La Musica.
He is Djenga Esperant Kisangani. He started out as a member of Viva La Musica from Papa Wemba. He then was a singer of Langa Langa Stars and then went solo before briefly returning as a member of Viva La Musica. He always managed to make some good nzonzing records.
One shocking thing is that Esperant and Josky never sung together. Josky sung with Papa Wemba but never sang with Esperant. One reason is that these men should have sung together is that Esperant has a similar tone to Sam Mangwana. When I listen to Esperant, I get a little reminder of lighter version of Sam Mangwana. That is why Josky and Esperant should have sung together.
Also there is a Esperant record that I posted that is a great song. It would have been much better if a Josky voice had sung along with Esperant. Here is the song that I am alluding to.
This song is called Seringue. It is a great song where Esperant sung very well and his triple singing was solid. But I know the song would have been done if Josky had added his vocals to the song.
Rest in peace to these great singers.
