Dream Duet: Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe

 Papy Tex | Diskographie | Discogs

Pepe Ndombe Opetum - Congolese Music

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 first act that should have sung with Papy Tex. This man was the singer that got to sing with both Franco and Tabu Ley. He is known to have a similar voice to Tabu Ley but is better singing lower. He is one of the key players of Bana OK? Who am I speaking about?

Ndombe Opetum or many people call Pepe Ndombe. Pepe Ndombe would have been a great partner to Papy Tex. Why? Because as I mentioned he is the lower version of Tabu Ley. Papy Tex is heavily influenced by Tabu Ley. Papy Tex does sound similar to Tabu Ley but more softer with his voice. Like Tabu Ley, Ndombe and Papy Tex were romantic kind of singers and knew how to impress ladies with their ladies. Their voices have remained strong over the years. I have twenty songs that would reflect the beautiful reflection of these two men. 

1) L'estime n'est pas l'amour by Pepe Ndombe
Tabu Ley: L'Estime N'est Pas L'Amour 
2) Na Yebi Ndenge Bokolela Ngai by Pepe Ndombe 


3) Osala Erreur by Pepe Ndombe

4) Male by Pepe Ndombe 

5) Matondo by Pepe Ndombe 

6) Oye Lisusu by Pepe Ndombe 

7) Mpenzi Bupe by Papy Tex (remake of Papy Tex anekudja)
8) Naluka yo sabina by Papy Tex 
9) Monsieur Malonga by Tabu Ley 
10) Gigi (Gisele) by Papy Tex or Soki Dianzenza 
11) 
Cherie Nyota by Soki Dianzenza 
12) Aideu Leya by Papy Tex 
13) Angela by Pepe Ndombe 
14) Miwela Miwela by Grand Kalle 
15) Monano by Tabu Ley 
16) Allo Cherie by Papy Tex 
17) Heritier by Pepe Ndombe 
18) Yo Seli-Ja by Josky Kiambukuta 
19) Elisee by Pepe Ndombe 
20) Muanetu by Pepe Ndombe 


These songs would have fitted well Ndombe and Papy Tex because their voices are Tabu Ley school with two different levels. Also I know Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe would have assisted well with the songs because both are hard workers as singers and they know how to sing professionally at all times. This is part of the reason why I believe that Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe would have been the perfect musical couple. 

I know if someone had a Tabu Ley tribute special, I would have chosen Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe. Because when they would sing Tabu Ley songs, I know people would enjoy the voices of Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe. Also they would have made the ladies go insane with Tabu Ley's earlier songs because I know that ladies would feel very attached to their voices. 

Papy Tex and Pepe Ndombe would have been one perfect duo. 

This is the end of Papy Tex special duet edition.
