This the 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. I got the first singer who also passed away in the month or two before Josky.
He is Nzaya Nzayadio. For those who don't know, Nzaya Nzayadio was a major member of Lipua Lipua. He was also a member of Choc Stars. He is known to have a similar voice to Pepe Kalle. This man had a opera sounding voice as a second voice singer.
Why would have he been a perfect dream partner for Josky. I will give you five reasons.
1) Josky is a great harmonist
2) Nzaya would have been a great fit for the Afrisa or OKJ group
3) Both are connected to Madilu System
4) Rarely had bad songs. Really.
5) Josky used to have a good high voice.
Josky was actually pretty good at singing high at time during his prime days in OK Jazz. He actually sang high sometimes during the 1970s and very rarely during the 1980s. He sang high with Madilu on their 1989 LP Destin. He was pretty effective. But Nzaya also sang high occasionally. Both were capable of singing high sometimes which is not always the case for the second voice singers.
Both of these men were from a similar generation of the Zaiko age. They both rarely had bad songs which is not often for many great artists as well as singers. This is why I believe Josky Kiambukuta and Nzaya Nzayadio would have been a great duo. They both would have great harmonies for the OKJ and Lipua Lipua communities.
Rest in peace to both men
Josky Kiambukuta 1949-2021
Nzaya Nzayadio 1952-2021
