Dream Duet: Felix Wazekwa and Josky Kiambukuta (JOSKY TRIBUTE)

 

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 used to be a songwriter for Koffi Olomide and Papa Wemba. 

I am speaking of Felix Wazekwa. He is the one known for songwriting before becoming a singer with his own band Culture A Pays Vie. Felix Wazekwa is a second voice type of singer but he can also sing high whenever he sees fit. He did it earlier with Bozi Boziana and Tabu Ley. I am talking before he formed his band Culture A Pays Vie. His three solo albums that are excellent to hear and I can dance to any day in anytime. Classic albums. Josky would have been a good addition also the earlier classic works of Felix Wazekwa. 

In fact I have three songs that would have been perfect for the pairing between Felix Wazekwa and Josky Kiambukuta. 

Song one BLEU D'ESPERANCE 

Song two EZA VERBE 

Song three BOKONO 

These three songs would have been better with addition of the voice of Josky Kiambukuta. Why you ask? Especially on the Felix repition or double singing, it would have been good with a voice of Josky. Because Josky can allow Felix to sing a bit higher or have a better sound on the songs especially the song Bokono. Josky would have added a brash sound with Felix's soft voice. 

There is no doubt in my mind that Felix Wazekwa would have been very good with Josky musically. 

Dream Quartet: Karmapa, Didier Lacoste, Mamale Tupac, Blaise Bula

 





Now I got something of a good mixage for everyone to enjoy. I assembled these singers for some reasons. Who are the ones here on these photos. First one is Mamale Tupac who sang with Koffi Olomide and late Papa Wemba. Second one is Didier Lacoste who used to be part of Clan Wenge of Adolphe Dominguez and Werrason. Third is Karmapa who used to be a songwriter for people like Felix Wazekwa and Koffi Olomide as well. Fourth is Blaise Bula who is one great star of former band Wenge Musica. 

These men would be a perfect quartet because two of them are Wenge related and other two are not Wenge related. But now all four of them would love to impress people with Rumba more often than Soukous though there are a few Sebene or Generic songs that these four men would be perfect for. Karmapa is one prince of Rumba because his Rumba songs are very impressive especially his second album. Perfect to the cure. Karmapa is a great songwriter and he knows good lyrics. 

Didier Lacoste, Mamale Tupac and Blaise Bula will be perfect alongside with Karmapa's ability to write good Rumba lyrics for them to sing. 

Here are some Karmapa songs that would be perfect with voices of Blaise Bula, Didier Lacoste and Mamale Tupac at least in choirs.

mobali ya bololo

Kayle Inga 

Makuta Mibale 

Bileyi ya Mibali 

I got one Didier Lacoste that the other men would have been perfect for. This song would have had Didier Lacoste harmonize one with Bula, another with Tupac and another with Karmapa. Alternation with these three men

Kingongola 

Here is Mamale Tupac's generique that would have been perfect for harmonies of Karmapa, Didier Lacoste and Blaise Bula. 

Magie Noire 

Mamale 2Pac= Magie Noire (promo)  

This song had portion of Franco's great song Kimpa Kisangameni. 

Listen to Blaise Bula's great song 

Ponce Pirate  

These songs would show the good harmonies and melodies within the voices of these singers. I also believe that they would connect well together musically. Also their voices are more soft orientated and that works well in a musical project. People who have a similar tone at their musical levels.

I will finish with this song that Didier Lacoste sang in Clan Wenge. This song would have had a great presence of Karmapa, Mamale Tupac and Blaise Bula. Enjoy this song. Happy New Year.
