WHO INVENTED SAXOPHONE?
November 07, 2024 - 04:33 PM
ADOLPHE SAX Had the trumpet not blown for him on 7th February 1894, Adolphe Sax would be celebrating his 210th birthday today. Adolphe invented the saxophone, a wind instrument that is the heart of music across several genres, with prominence in Jazz. Working as a music instrument maker, Adolphe, born in Belgium, was the son of Joseph Sax, a renowned maker of brass instruments, harps, and guitars. He made the saxophone invention in 1942, improving on a flute and a clarinet. He also made other inventions that didn't make much prominence. These were the saxo-tromba and the sax-horn. Without his music genius in innovation, music wouldn't be what it is today as the saxophone has continued to......
A STRANGE RELATIONSHIP
November 06, 2024 - 05:32 PM
FRANCO LUAMBO AND MOBUTU SESE SSEKO Franco always had a political bent which he expressed in many of his songs. While still in their teens, he had been a troublemaker before Congo got independence from the Belgians. One of his earliest forays into politics came in 1957 when one of his songs was banned by the colonial authorities. Soon after independence, Franco would sing a number of political songs, starting with the number “Ba Deputes botika Mbilinga, Mbilinga (Parliamentarians stop the confusion). He would follow this up with two more numbers: Docteur Moise Tshombe and Government ya Katanga Orientale. 1. Franco Sings Liwaya ya Lumuba (Liwa ya Emery)His most memorable political......
KAKAI: THE BENGA PROTEGE WHO OUTSHONE THE MASTERS
November 05, 2024 - 09:40 AM
KAKAI: THE BENGA PROTEGE WHO OUTSHONE THE MASTERS The Benga earthquake happened in the mid-1950s. Its epicenter was Nyanza, then known as Kavirondo at the 'tie dero' (beside a granary) on the shores of Lake Victoria. A choice of a 'tie dero' happened intentionally to keep children and at times women, off the lyrics that would occasionally veer off to what would pass as explicit. With the arrival of European explorers, a convergence of civilization occurred and the same beat began discarding the old nyatiti and replacing it with contemporary Spanish acoustic, and with the advent of recording technology, the shockwaves began reverberating beyond its Nyanza birthplace. The......

ANOTHER AFRISA BIG NAME
November 04, 2024 - 11:49 AM
NDOMBE OPETUM: ANOTHER AFRISA BIG NAME By Jerome Ogola Opetum, also called Pepe Ndombe, is easily one of the biggest names, in the second generation of Congolese music, the generation that also produced Grand Kalle of African Jazz and Franco of OK Jazz. Ndombe Opetum sang with two of Congo's greatest musical outfits, OKJ and Afrisa International. He carved a niche for himself while appearing for African Fiesta National in 1968. The Tabuley-led band, ran into loggerheads with the Mobutu administration, over its failure to appear for an end-year concert, prompting its ban, from performing for a short period. This led to a mass exodus of musicians, among them singer Mangwana,......
CONGOLESE RUMBA
November 04, 2024 - 08:10 AM
THE GENRE IS CONGOLESE RUMBA It is not every day that you encounter a footballer who can’t tell the difference between volleyball and football, but in the world of entertainment and specifically music, writers, broadcasters, commentators, and even musicians seem to get a little mixed up when it comes to identifying the genre of that Congolese popular beat, the one that was popularized by Franco. The broader genre of the music is rumba. This beat has its origin in the Caribbean Island of Cuba, the Latin American country that ended up with significant populations of blacks as a result of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade that saw Africans traded as slaves to provide labor in the......

NYOKA LONGO'S RELEVANCE OVER TIME
November 03, 2024 - 03:19 PM
NYOKA LONGO'S RELEVANCE OVER TIME QUESTION What's the reason that Nyoka Longa is the one that remained out of anyone else? He doesn't strike me as the most talented at the time when there was Evoloko and Papa Wemba. What made it that he stood the test of time and became the face of Zaiko? Was he already somewhat the face of Zaiko back then? Is he musically included and knows how to play a few instruments? What is it about the guy? ANSWER Zaiko was founded because of Papa Wemba's voice with Pedro Felix Manuaku (who came from the previous called Belguide which was disbanded by the founders of Zaiko after discovering Papa Wemba) and Papa Wemba(then called Jules Presley) being the......
