Prophétie song of Benz Petrole (ELBA TOP A)

I have been lately listening to the song Prophétie. It is song composed by Benz Pétrole. I want to mention this because I have been listening to the song. I love how this song goes because you have four great singers that I enjoy listening to. I am speaking of Elba Kuluma, Suzuki Luzubu 4x4, Desouza Santu and Nyboma Mwandido. 

But largely why I mentioned this song is because it is about prophesying. Now that is not something I do much because I am not sure how can life can be. 

Two years ago, I did a dream trio album which I did in French because I was aiming at these three singers. 
Trio de Rêve Album: Les Beaux Gars Volume 2: Ballou Canta, Elba Top A et Papy Tex  

It was a trio album where I was putting songs for dream trio. That would be Ballou Canta, Elba Top A and Papy Tex. The chance of them singing together let alone doing a album is 2 percent chance which I understand since they are at different stages of their careers. They also sung with Pepe Kalle at different stages in their careers. 

Now weeks ago, Elba Top A himself commented which surprised me considering that I posted this from more than a year ago. It looks like people and/or someone send him this article and he really liked it which does make me happy. 

Now the question is who will have the courage to get these three singers together. We will wait and see. 

Dream Quartet: Papa Wemba, Madilu, Lenga Lenga and Kester Emeneya

ZAIKO GENERATION: 
Imagine at the time when Zaiko Langa Langa that you would be building a dynasty of many groups and musicians that you see. Whether they are big stars or not, they made a huge mark on Congolese music. It is where you had the best nzonzing records and collaboration records. 

I selected four singers that would sing perfectly together. I don't know why no one was able to get these four men together during 1989 to 1991 period. Whom did I choose.

Papa Wemba Le Nkuru

Madilu System Le Grand Ninja

Lenga Lenga Ya Lengos

Kester Emeneya King Kester 

These four men would have been perfect for a nzonzing project. But why? I am speaking of 1989. First of all, most of them were in Europe during that time. Also, they did not seem so occupied and were enjoying life in Europe. Lenga Lenga was also free from Zaiko Langa Langa. He had his own version called Zaiko Familia Dei. Papa Wemba did a tour around America but he did not have a overwhelming demanding schedule. Kester Emeneya already was enjoying of his successes with songs like Nzinzi. He was in Paris. Madilu himself had left OKJ and was just having fun in Europe after his work with Josky as well as Zaiko animator Adoula with Carlyto and Malage. 

Musically, these men would be perfect together. I will give three reasons.

1) Three of them came from Tabu Ley singing school. Tabu Ley had a major influence on Madilu, Kester Emeneya and Papa Wemba. Lenga Lenga sounded very similar to Nyoka Longo. 

2) None of them sound similar. Their voices are so distinct from one another that you can always alternate vocals with absolute ease. 

3)Zaiko influence is all over of them even they make their own marks on their own songs. Whether Vocally or Musically. 

These men should have done an album together with 6 songs with 2 songs of Rumba (one from Papa Wemba and one from Madilu) and 4 songs of Soukous or Rumba/Sebene. These songs would have been successful because I know Clan Zaiko fans would have been dancing. You would have many journalists and fans alike making buzz about this great project. 

There is one song that would have been great for these four men. 

KIMPIATU by Kester Emeneya and his band Victoria Elesien 

Several Versions 

Original Version

Second Version 

Live Versions 

This song would have been the best record for the four men to remix because the harmonies between Lenga Lenga, Madilu and Papa Wemba would have had a great harmony with Papa Wemba singing high while Madilu singing in the middle and Lenga Lenga singing low. Kester Emeneya would have done well with his solo vocals. Before the beautiful harmonies of the trio in the song, Kester and Papa Wemba do their harmony at the beginning of the song. 

Dream Quartet: Abby Surya, Barbara Kanam, Faya Tess, Mbilia Bel

 

 

One Congolese post of the great female Congolese singers. I am very honored to do this. I got four great Congolese female singers that are alive for everyone's joy. 

I am speaking of Abby Surya, Barbara Kanam, Faya Tess and Mbilia Bel. These women are great singers in their own right. Abby, Faya and Mbilia have sung together in the past but they have yet to sing with Barbara Kanam. 

For those who may not know about Barbara Kanam, she has a family connection to Maika Munan. It is said that they are cousins. Maika Munan is one of the best guitarists to ever to live in DRC. He used to collaborate with the likes of Faya Tess and Abby Suriya. 

Speaking of Maika Munan, he should be the producer and front man of this great project if these four women ever sing together on stage or record. He can play his acoustic or electric guitar while these four women give beautiful melodies as well as solo vocals that they are able to give. 

Faya Tess is a more relaxed singer with a nice vibrato on it. Mbilia Bel is very soft but is able to give her own twist with her soft voice. Abby Suriya has a strong feminine voice with a delicious vibrato. Barbara Kanam has a masculine twist in her voice but yet it is soft at the same time with a sexy vibrato that I always want to hear in my ears. If I could a duo response like Franco did back in the late 1960s occasionally, I would pair Abby and Faya to respond to Barbara and Mbilia. That would be one good way of doing a quartet. Duo and duo part in one song if there is another option of harmony. 

There are many songs that would fit their voices but there is one song that fit these four women. 

LOVANGO by Mbilia Bel 

Lovango would allow Mbilia Bel sing lead as well as Abby Suriya with choirs of Barbara Kanam, Faya Tess and Mbilia Bel. It would make the song much better with Maika Munan playing solo and rhythm guitar. 

I hope these ladies will do a show or a collaboration record for the fans who love female Congolese singers. 

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.

NALE 

Dream Quartet: Fantasia, Jazmine Sullivan, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks

Happy new year everyone. It is time for fellas like me who love some great female R&B singers. First round has come now. Whom I am speaking of?

It is former American Idol contestants Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson and Jordin Sparks with known soul singer Jazmine Sullivan. 

These female singers should sing together because they are among the best emotional female singers. They know how to get to your heart. They will know how to feel good or bad based on their life experiences they have lived. 

After all, all these ladies have had their good and bad times being in the spotlight. Also, they probably have been compared to one another at one point which can be annoying. Each of these ladies have their own voice. Jazmine is much raspy voice but soft vibrato. Fantasia has a raspy voice also but a strong vibrato. Jennifer Hudson has a strong opera sounding R&B voice with a very hard sounding vibrato which some fellas love to hear. Jordin Sparks has a very soft tender voice who knows how to hit the right notes no matter the song she does. 

I think one song that would fit these four ladies into a song would be a song of the late Aretha Franklin. It is called you make feel like a natural woman.

Listen to this 1998 performance. It would fit these four ladies perfectly.

Enjoy this song. Happy New Year. 

Dream Quartet: Charlie Wilson, Ginuwine, Johnny Gill, Wayna Morris

Happy New Year everyone. I want to give you good wish for 2021. Luckily, I am not so busy at the moment. Here is we go. I did a dream quartet of R&B with Charlie Wilson just today. Now I got another one with him. I have found three other men who can sing with him. 

They are Ginuwine, Johnny Gill and Wanya Morris from Boyz II Men. I think these men would be the best men to sing with Charlie Wilson. 

Here are the reasons why they are the ones with him

1) They had a influence or two from him musically speaking.

2) They also are known exclusively for love songs. Does not matter what kind of love songs. 

3) They are known for some dancing. Ladies love men who can dance. 

4) They can give him great musical support which each of their voices. 

In fact these reasons would fit perfectly into one very good love song that Charlie Wilson created with a influence of Snoop Dogg. He is part of the video that Charlie did. 

The song is called There goes my baby which is about declaring that one lady will be the one that you will love, marry and have babies out of it as well. 

If this song gets remixed and Charlie wants other R&B singers to sing with him whether on choirs or solo vocals. He needs to invite Ginuwine, Johnny Gill and Wanya Morris. These men will able to complete this song much more and they would bring more fire on the choir work while Charlie can rest with his solo vocals as ladies will happy with that. 

It will be a good way to make this classic love song much better. 

Highly unlikely that these men would be together but if it did happen then I think, the ladies will have a great night. 

Dream Quartet: Babyface, Charlie Wilson, Eric Benet, Maxwell

Hello everyone. I got a R&B quartet for people who enjoy R&B music on regular basis. I found four men who melt the hearts of the ladies and I am sure that they would go and scream their names. I will give the ladies their joys. 

The ladies man are Babyface, Charlie Wilson, Eric Benet and Maxwell. They are the ones who have given ladies great joys in a emotional and sexual sense for a long time. Babyface and Charlie Wilson have done it for four decades while Eric and Maxwell have done it for at least two decades. I think these men should work together musically.

Here are my reasons why they should do a song together as a quartet. 

1) They are ladies man 

2) They know how to use their voices in harmony with others 

3) They are not too egoistic 

4) They can make comprises to make sure their voices work well in a given work environment. 

5) This can give more joy to the ladies especially when they see their favorite R&B stars in the same stage or same song.

Believe me, it is one thing when one of them arrives to sing his own love song for the ladies but wen they see more, it brings more joy and ladies find more joy to see these men. Believe me, I am sure for the fellas, they would command these men for putting their egos aside for wonderful love making music. 

Let's wait and see when life gets back to normal, if we can see something like this happen. It would be excellent in my opinion.
