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.
