I come from Venezuela and listening to this compilation makes me feel very happy and delighted, especially when finding the similarities within the rythm and some melodies or patterns that we can find in several Caribbean music genres. The African heritage is so present in the Caribbean that in some of these songs you can almost touch the connection to the champeta, merengue, cuban rumba and some others that are now included in what is called "salsa". I love recognizing and feeling that 1-2-3 1-2 beat. Love from a Latin American melomaniac! :D :D :D
What nostalgia this is!! My dad used to listen to these songs. In the first song, they express their love and hate about marriage and how they love women😂🇨🇩
Always wonderful to hear congolese rumba ❣️ Any music lover can appreciate these rythms and the symbiose between voices and instruments 💕💕 Thank you for your open mind, dear 🙏🏿
@@whitneyy7113 Surprisingly because the country suffered the worst conflict on the globe since WW2, decades of civil crises and a brutal dictatorship that turned the wealthiest place in Africa into the world's poorest.
@@mrbungle06 It used to be VM7 but it went down. I listen to Radio Maria now, though it's based out of Brazzaville on the other side of the river so technically not it's not Congo-Kinshasa
@Spaceman Matt From Wiki: “In the 1930s and 1940s, Afro-Cuban son groups such as Septeto Habanero, Trio Matamoros and Los Guaracheros de Oriente were played over Radio Congo Belge in Léopoldville (Kinshasa), gaining widespread popularity in the country during the following decades.[1][2] Once local bands tried to emulate the sound of Cuban son (incorrectly referred to as "rumba" in Africa, despite being unrelated to Cuban rumba), their music became known as "soukous", a derivative of the French word "secouer" (literally, "to shake").[3] By the late 1960s, soukous was an established genre in most of Central Africa, and it would also impact the music of West and East Africa. To Africans, Cuban popular music sounded familiar[4] and Congolese bands started doing Cuban covers, singing the Spanish lyrics phonetically. Eventually they created original compositions with lyrics in French or Lingala, a "lingua franca" of the western Congo region. The Cuban horn guajeos were adapted to guitars.[5] The Congolese called this new music "rumba", though it was more based on "son". “
Keep it up bro! Finding great music from the whole world! I appreciate more African music also. I wouldn't have heard some music from my own continent if it wasn't for you. I appreciate the work you put into this. Tashakur bro! Love from Eritrea!
My man! Sunday comes and here is my wake-up-prepare-and-have-breakfast-mix with artists i never heard of, for a leisurely start in the day..not that i plan on doing anything unleisurely today though :)
Again I suggest My Analog Journal owner to create a set with Cape Verdean music, always telling him to put at least one song from B. Leza, a guy that was for Cape Verde like Elvis was to USA and Roberto Carlos is to Brazil if we consider someone that can be considered a point of change for an entire music scene.
I wouldn't cogitate that Congolese music would make me stop all the things that I was doing to listen. Despite some interruptions external to me, I heard all and liked very much. How rich is African music? Considering the size of the continent, there are lots of hidden jewels to be mined.
Congolese music is the best so is it Rumba one of the best I grow up lestining to Rumba back in my country congo- Kinshasa they are the best 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
man this reminds me so much of brazilian caipira music.. It's hard it's just coincidence. Caipira means like the person thats from the rural life, it's both used derogatorily & with proudness. My father is from the interior, my childhood I used to hear stuff just like this from brasilian artists all the time
they do you have not hurd congole music or a lot to say this we still make rumba music Try Ferre Gola- Maboko pamba it was a popular one I remember listening to this when I was little even now I still do
Few good artists are left, but yea I agree with that Congo music is no more as good as it used to be. Congolese music used to be so powerful in Africa that it dominated the African music industry in the 60‘s , 70‘s , 80‘s and 90‘s . Now the Nigerians are dominating African music.
I don't understand why u people never read a desciption begore watching a video sorry if i sound rude but my brother or sister read the description it will tell you if not then .....
