Not only him, between him and the modern Nigerian afrobeat, several decades happened and several african sounds inspired Nigerian music (Coupe decale, ndombolo, makossa..)
Nigerians have always had music superstars, what has just happened is that social media has allowed Nigerian artists to share their music with the world and technology has made the music making process easier whereby you dont need a complete studio to make a beat but just your laptop. In the 80s we had superstars like Chris Okotie, Felix Lebarty, Jide Obi, Onyenka Owenu and many more most of whom were produced by the late great Jake Solo.. And these were just the youngsters back then not even talking about giants like Fela Kuti, Sunny Ade, Victor Uwaifo, Sonny Okosun, Oliver de Coque and others..
Nigerians my people are not scared of anything in life, we learn and hard working, also pay attention to everything around us. And we motivate each other, what ever anyone in Nigeria 🇳🇬 or else where is doing. There’s someone that you can’t even imagine can do it better than anyone at the top in life. Na Naija my people for you be that oooo
Nigeria music scene had been in existence and growing since 1950s even before Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Southern Nigeria folk lores oral music, traditional music juju, Fuji, Apala, highlife etc. Music is in the DNA, period.
My dear Ghanian brothers, sisters and Africans in diaspora, let me make this simple for you all as a Nigerian and a fellow African. There was an awakening that started in the late 2000 about the world becoming a global stage for all to feature, which gave birth to the current globalization of the African music experience that we are experiencing right now in Africa and the world at large, which everyone is now scrambling for a fair share of this movement and the benefit that comes with it. What we did as Nigerians is that we looked into our culture, our way of life and our story telling ability which is embedded in our Africanisms knowing fully that we cannot be like anyone else on the global stage of music but ourselves as Africans. So, we took advantage of our sounds and started experimenting with new tech in music fusions and WE EVOLVED and made progress with the understanding of what type of sound the world at large wants hear, listen and enjoy when it comes to African music. So, what we’ve done with the Nigerian Music is called differentiation. This understanding is what has paved this pathway for us and it came with a lot of hard work, Sacrifice and orderly thinking that has birth new ground breaking sounds that bridge cultures on a global scale. Simple! We are still working hard at it; we’re not going to stop but continue to make progress with new learnings, because we’ve learnt a lot along the way. So, there’s still more to do and learn from. PLEASE START YOUR JOURNEY AND STOP THE CRITICISMS. Stop feeling entitled and drowning yourselves in self-pity but look inward for every resource available to you and start refining, defining and put in the work progress awaits you on this journey. We move…
Hello Host, get it right, Nigerian Music has always been there, right from the time of Fela Kuti, so Congo wasn't there before Nigeria, Nigerian music has always been there, why even Africans can't stop talking of Nigeria, just do your thing?
The current Nigerian sound emanated from Fela and the previous high life music undertone. Who born Congolese music before then pls? Nigerian music grew out of the hustle spirit of the Nigerian....$imple!
@@ugoawa3171 not exactly right. Nigerian music became really popular in the 2000's just after the Congolese/Ivorian era because this music also inspired Nigerian music along with american RnB. Most modern Nigerian music sound nothing like Fela Kuti music soind
Queen Sheebah like Nigerians has originality and unapologetic of her uniqueness. Nigerian musicians are unapologetic and so is Sheebah. She's also great. 👑💪💝
Everybody is trying to explain the success of Nigerian Music. The reason is actually very simple. Modern Afrobeat rests on the legacy left by *Fela Kuti.* Modern Afrobeat may not sound exactly like Fela Kuti, but both sound came from the same philosophy. Fela Kuti was a fierce Afrocentric, who believed that Africans should develop and project their own culture like Europeans. So, he created his signature rhythm, which he called 'Afrobeat.' And he sang only in Nigerian pidgin and his native language. Fela Kuti became a folk Hero because of his Afrocentric and Nationalist views. Eventually, the new generation learned Fela Kuti's cultural pride. They also improved his unique and catchy rhythm, and called it Afrobeats.
Expect more from us. We are still coming. Nigerian music still have more gap ahead over other countries music. Because we truly understand what music is all about. You can't kill a king while he's still alive until he dies by himself. Music is like this..get from those whom are bigger than yours and use it to develop your skill. This was how Michael Jackson became the greatest. He was formally a James Brown dancer before he figured out his dancing skills.
You are so right about the influence of the Congolese music. I left a similar comment on another page. It was during the period of the Congolese music wave that young Nigerian musicians started blending their songs with different styles of music.
Afrobeats and blended music and too different things. Congolese music doesnt have any influence on Nigerian music, we did listen to it in past but it refused to evolve so its diminished
I want to believe we are talking about producing music for the world stage. MUSIC is both business and entertainment. Show business put together. You must have a mastery of whatever business you want to succeed. Nigerians have the most richest businessmen in the continent making them have more financial power and investment in the industry (also the movie industry). As regard entertainment, beyond what is normal i think that comes with natural vibes and ginger, we are loud and naturally show people. when a Nigerian plane lands in an airport u all know that Nigerians have arrived. One other thing we cant rule out is the size of our population at home and in the diaspora. So many things working in our favor. FOR EVER LIVES AFRICA!
Congolese music was massive in Nigeria in the '70s, but it did not influence the development of modern Afrobeat, because both sounds are totally different.
@@mikailm6934 wether or not Fela had a Congolese guitarist or was influenced . Congolese music has no bearing on the current growth in Nigerian Afrobeats
@@truethots3088 it's not direct but indirect. Nigerians are the best African music producers and took from several african genres. Nowadays Amapiano is trending but congolese musical influence is there too. Congolese influence is present in Fela Kuti afrobeat(guitar), in Nigerian highlife (Congolese rhythms and guitar patterns with Nico Mbarga and Olivier de Coque..) And these two musical genres are the basis of modern nigerian afrobeats. There is also a latin/haitian influence in songs like Love Nwantiti and these kind of slow rhythms have been brought in America by Kongo slaves. It's not a copy nor directly there but it's definitely present, you can't talk about african music both in the motherland or the diaspora without mentioning Congo
I agree with you about the influence of the Congolese sound on Nigeria. We don’t give Congo enough credit for their influence on us. Congolese music was huge in Nigeria in the late 90s and the early 2000s.
Congolese music pave the way for all African. First ones to pack venues in Europe with 17000 people thanks to Koffi Olomide 🇨🇩. Opened the way for others to come over. Gims 🇨🇩 recently packed Stade de France with 72000 people. James Brown and Muhammed Ali came to perform in Congo 1974 together with Congolese and other successful artist in Congo and Africa. Go check the facts, you might just not know or you are just biased
Hello Congolese are French speaking country nigeria on is own his a English speaking country Congolese did not pave way for nigeria,Nigeria pave way for them self we are always there bro
Bro the sounds of music has no language. Once you see one do, and its kind succesful you will try to do the same. Travel througout Africa: Ivory coast, Cameroun, Senegal, Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and ask them about Congolese music. You know Manu Dibango? Michael Jackson plagiated sole of his stuff. He is from Cameroun. Cameroun is next Nigeria but tell me why he went to cross 3 boardes to do music in Congo? We do music over 60 years. Its part of our culture. Beyonce recently used one of our old classic in a video on her Instagram. We did just popped up last decade bro We play the music naturally. We dont need a dj, a beatmaker or a computer to make music bro.
@@bantuhebrew2439 everything you just said about Congo applies to Nigeria but on a grander scale for example Beyonce didn't just use Nigerian sound on her Instagram she used Nigerian sound, Nigerian musicians, Nigerian authors and writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on her album Lion King. 90% of the artists featured are Nigerian. have you seen Burna boys features and David O's features? nicki minaj, ed sheeran, stormzy the biggest of the biggest in the us and globally. if we look at awards won Nigeria has swept all the foreign BET awards given to non usa blacks world wide except 2. you cant deny Nigeria is ahead of Congo
Nah y’all not ahead. But y all did not even came close to even. It’s like worldcup. In the 60s we were the litest, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s. In 10s we still lit but Naija came too along with Tanzinia and South Africa. Its like what 5 (6) 🇨🇩 to 1 🇳🇬. Gims (congelese) did stade of France 72000 people in 2020, which Nigerian artist beating that? Ninho, Dadju, Naza, Kalash Crim, Keblack got mutiple platine, gold, diamond disc, who is beating that? Fally Ipupa recently sold out in Paris 21000 people in 2020. Damso broke fastest stream selling album ahead of everyone including American. Keep in mind that Congolese music and artist has banned in Europe by Congolese patriots due to bad political situation. From 2008 to 2019 every concerts was cancelled due to riots. That left some space for other african to enter. Go watch Fally Ipupa Gare du Lyon train station fire 2020 and see how serious it was. BET is people’s opinion, men lie, women lie numbers dont. Judge concerts (how many, where and how many people), platinum disc diamond discs, youtube view, streams ... you cannot lie or hate on numbers. BET can give trophy based on feeling. since it’s all English Usa Nigerian and your songs they are biased. We sing in Lingala and French. If USA was french speaking then we would have an advantage. Fally Ipupa should have won BET in 2014 or 2013 but they gave it to Stonewboy and he dudnt even expected it, shouting out Fally when he received the trophy. Fally should have got it 2010 as well. InnossB should have got in 2020. Fally Ipupa started his solo career in 2006 and still lit until now. Left Psquare, J Martins, Dbanj, 2face, ... behind. Congolese music is lasting over 60 years with different music genres are styles. We will see how Afrobeat will last. Slowly starts sounding the same. Naija had a good debut decade but far away from ahead. Congo got lit without internet back in the days.
The music we (Nigerians) promote is called ‘Afro beat or Afro hip hop’ - which is ultimately an African thing , I don’t understand neither do I subscribe to this persecution of Nigerians in Africa. It’s a shameful and sad development.................but then it’s Africa ! We are so comfortable with bringing ourselves down
Yes it soind different because it's not a copy, just an inspiration.Fela Kuti music was really different than most modern Nigerian music, meaning others influences took part to define the Nigerian music
@@camairblood9259 stop complaining and do it if you can do it better like Nigerians. Nigerian music and musicians are always popular since 1950's. Fela Kuti passed away long time ago but he still the most popular and greatest musician ever and also he was the most influential musician in Africa No African Country want to listening to French music in 21st century. Nigeria has influence, numbers, money and a platform to promote Nigerian and African culture to the World, that's why Nigerian music are in Global now. Nigeria always represents the Africa Continent and always will.
She spoke facts! 💯 ✅ You should give to where it is due. Congolese music 🇨🇩🎵 is the mother of music in Africa and pave the way for other countries to have the will to do music. Congolese music is the purest African sound produced naturally and most talented with style like Rumba, Seben, Soukous, Folklore, Tokoos, AfroCongo and more 🇨🇩 🎸🥁🎷🎹🪕🎼🎶 🗣💃☝️
@@siqklinx2021 When AWILO used to perform in Nigeria in the 90s P SQUARE brothers were amongst those that climbed the stadium wall to watch AWILO. Congo is the first ever african country to have had a continental banger "independence tcha tcha " released in jjne 1960 after Congo's independence and this hit became the anthem of independences of African countries. At this time Nigerian music was still a ghetto music . Congolese music dominated africa from the 60s up to mid- 2000s. It's in 2008 that Nigeria had its first TRULY continental starts who are P SQUARE.
@@siqklinx2021 you should also know that those Nigerians so called musicians are of cause artists but there are not great singers. They cannot perform Live music without dj. Rhumba genre from Congo has nothing to do with Wizkid or Davido. Seben genre from congo is more powerful to make someone dance than Burna boy or etc Anyways those who congo they acknowledge that congo had truly super stars 50 years before Nigeria. So Nigerians should chill and learn. And things may change Nigeria is dominating Africa for the past 13 years . Congo dominated for 45 years .
@@imhotep1613 Like I said, you should do some more research. Nigerian artists were touring the world in the 60's. Artists like IK Dairo, King Sunny Ade, Fela and others were Playing stadiums in Japan, UK, America, France and many European countries. Perhaps not touring the whole of Africa but, they still touched some parts. Congolese music is amazing. We can probably argue that melodically its Number 1 in Africa. In the world even. I know I can't resist it and have been a fan for years. The thing is however, due to language constraints perhaps, it was never as popular outside Francophone countries, France and Belgium. Most Nigerians have no idea about it. As far as paving the way, when you talk about paving the way you have to realise Nigerian artists are getting doors open worldwide due to these artist from the 60's, the term Afrobeats, Nollywood and the undeniably good music. The Awilo concert you talked about in Nigeria MIGHT be true but I guarantee you that's not what paving the way means. Paving the way means, creating a path, a pattern and, reaching a height others can aspire to and surpass. Although, Congolese artists may make incredible music. Previous Nigerian Arists mainly paved the way for African Artists. Nigerian Artists today still have not reached the heights set by the likes of Fela and King Sunny Ade, and others internationally who paved the way for them.
@@siqklinx2021 interesting . Yes I will do researches about those Nigerian artists of the 1960s and see if they were worldly as powerful as TABU LEY, GRAND KALLÉ. I'm not the one who wrote the statement of paving the way .that's not me it's the author of the first comment we all replying to . Regarding the language, saying that Congolese music may have not went higher due probably o the language I totally reject this statement because most of us think that the power of Nigerian music in the world is a new phenomenon for Africans. NO . Congolese rhumba was popular way back before congo's independence in 1950s . When congo got its independence in 1960 congo already had artists performing in Cuba,usa etc the most known one is GRANDE kallé who is the first ever to hit a continental banger " independence tcha tcha " At this time in africa Fella Kuti and company were not known in africa . People think that Congolese were performing only n francophone countries that's not true . Congolese sing in lingala and made it to the world. The only difference is that at that time there was no social media like today so that anybody anywhere can witness
@@mikailm6934 Fela Kuti even still popular than all of the Congolese musicians all together. Nigerian musicians are always popular since 1950's Nigerian music is all over the world right now because of the Social Media platforms and Nigerians also has much influence in Western Countries and other part of the world. Nigeria has the Talent, Numbers and Money so no African Country can stand against Nigeria.
@@mikailm6934 Nigerian Entertainment Industry has money, influence and a huge platform to promote their music and culture to the World. Nigerians are also intelligent, smart and self-confident.
@@papap1186 lol that's a damn lie. Fela Kuti was popular yes but more in the West than in Africa except Nigeria. If I'm wrong then can you tell me which african musicians who weren't nigerians were inspired by his music and made afrobeat big in their respective countries? Franco Luambo, Bongo Man,Tabu Ley, Koffi olomide, Papa Wemba and many more so influenced the music of others african countries ,the whole central , eastern and southern Africa but also West Africa (the congolese band OK Jazz performed in Nigeria for example). If you don't know just ask. Where did Fela performed in Africa except Nigeria?Should I talk about Awilo Longomba more popular in Nigeria and the whole Africa than in Congo because his music was average to us? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPOK_Jazz
@@mikailm6934 come dis man talk wetin u know dumb brain....feka was more influential and richer than all those ur artist u claimed to call ..stop saying trash cos u know nothing ....and will know nothing #facts....don't be a daft and quit vociferating nonsense
Go watch all my comments here. Google it or youtube it to enlarge you african music knowledge. I dont mind helping you with that? Start with Kora Awards. We was lit and known before internet came up to rescue you guys. It’s like hating on Real Madrid when you just won 1 trophy this year. F outta here! Niaja did good one decade we have been doing good over 60 years brotha Just bring you and whole africa the facts since you guys seems to have amnesia
Lol. Most of these people dissecting Nigerian music should go and learn the history of Juju, Fuji and High Life music genres in Nigeria. Names like King Sunny Ade was taking the world by storm in the late 70s and 80s. We just have a bigger platform now on the internet.
Hmm...if congolese made way for other countries How come deir music is not popular U people should be taking credit for wat u didnt do Some people in naija dont even know congo I have never listened to a congolese song in my life So i dont know wat ur talking about.
You dont know anything about African music bro. Congolese music is the most influencial music being an inspiration from all over Africa especially Ivory coast and Cameroun to Colombia, Panama, ... In 2000, a Congolese artist was the first African artist to perform and pack venues of 17000 pax in Europe. Rest of Africa came after. Koffi Olomide paved the way for you guys. Go watch the Kora awards of 90s 00s. Go see who dominated it. Nigeria was no where to find. Naija just really on for a decade. If you really listen good to its sounds, you will find out it becoming monotoneous, its repeating. Time to create a new style and sound without copying or remixed the sound that are existing like it was done with afrobeats. Congo has created different music genre like soukous, ndombolo, sebene, folklore, tokoos, afrocongo and its identity la Rumba Congolese not to mention the Congolese artist in France who created again a different style. Gims just packed the stade of Francs with 72000 pax. Another record on a Congolese name. Dont forget that Awilo Longomba is also Congolese Its #OneLove brother. Just stating facts 💯
And by the way, Nigerians made a whole movie about Congolese people. Go watch Back from Congo, its on youtube. A certain group of Congolese behave llike you show in the movie. To know that you have to dig
I am just stating facts bro. Nigerians do listen to Congolese music especially in France. Go watch the comments. Go ask J Martins about Fally Ipupa, or Koffi Olomide. Listen to their Featurings I did not even mention the fact that Muhammad ali and James brown came to perform in Africa back in 1974. Where? Congo Zaïre music festival in Kinshasa. Why? Cause we were lit since then already. Congolese where screaming Ali boma ye during the boxing in Congo Zaire. Americzn rapper The Game made a song Ali Boma ye. Boma ye means Ali Kill him/Finish him off. Btw you know Manu Dibango 🎷. He is from Cameroun. Mickael jackson one of his song « mama se mamakosa ». Nigeria is neighbours with Cameroun. But Manu left cameroun to continue his musical career in Congo Zaïre. Love for Naija but you guys where no where to found. Just popped up last decade. Go listen to Fally Ipupa, Innoss B, Papa Wemba, Koffi Olomide, Ferre Gola, Werrason, TOP Ok jazz, ... and more. Music styles and genre for every mood, not just party songs. We sing in our own language Lingala (Swahili and more) most beautiful romantic language in Africa. Screw the language of the colonizer French, English or their African remixed dialect of it (Pidgin and more). We are proud of our African language. You better rest your case when you got nothing to say bro. Or tell me about the history about Naija, Ghana music what I dont know. Internet, beatmakerprograms and computer rescued African countries since they could not play it naturally. Go listen to our styles and genres you will find out Congolese are talented. our concerts is all live. Singing Live, play instrumentals live, dancing live.. no dj. Dont hate on us. We Africans If you dont know now you know brotha. It’s all love. Just got to bring you the facts cause we got a whole history about our music. This lady and guy are knowing what they are talking about. And she is not Congolese ! Bless
Nigeria is mainly afro how is that copying Congo music? Sorry you are wrong , Fela is the driving force and the Nolly wood effect may have pushed Nigeria music
ghana beats came after Nigeria so that's why its similar, congo beat is way older...... and that dance beat is similar to todays afro fast dance beat.... and way back south Africans were on top too......its just our turn now on top, people should just stop being jealous of us honestly 🤣 we didn't tear down brenda fassie or awilo
@@FOH45 true.!!.their jealousy really comes from the height we have taken African music, it's much bigger than those great names you mentioned like my dear Brenda,chaka Chaka and co. Now there's much more money, more fame within and out of Africa, also foreign collaborations ,and the sound now is much more accepted or embraced in Europe Asia and so on .This is great achievement and would keep on growing
You don't know congolese music then, when you hear highlife, you hear congolese influence, when an african play guitar, there is almost always a congolese influence somewhere. Fela himself had a congolese guitarist named Kiala Nzavotunga and Olivier de Coque the biggest Nigerian highlife musician was taught guitar by a congolese expatriate in Nigeria.
@@mikailm6934 We are free to believe what we want. Fela was a big deal before the Congolese musical exploits. But if you wanna believe that you believe, you are free. Just get the right stats, then maybe we will listen to your opinion. Numbers don't lie! Apart from Awilo, I'm not sure who had great influence as at the time we talking about.
@Siqk Linx you should also know that those Nigerians so called musicians are of cause artists but there are not great singers. They cannot perform Live music without dj.

In 1960s congo had TABU LEY who used to perform in CUBA as a foreign artist. At this time Fela kutti waa still in ghetto
No need hating on each other ..one love ..What we should do is appreciate one another by collaborating with musicians from different part of Africa .one love
what ya'll talking about nigerian music not tick in fact ut just like Hip Hop from America like nigerian make music just like American it not diffrent like other country in Africa
Congolese did not pave any wave for Nigerian music. Nigerian music is not any where inspired or similar to Nigerian Afrobeats. Nigerian music is miles ahead. Nigerian music don’t copy other African music because we priorities our unique identity, it speaks throughout our music. It is what makes us thrive
We tend to forget the power of population. Nigeria has about 230 million pple. Its easy to go big when u have such a domestic market....(more money, more endorsements, international attention - calling for collabos from artists). In a nutshell = Easy to get when u have.
The lady that did the analysis I think doesn't understand the fundamentals of the Nigerian music genre. The music industry in Nigeria has afrobeat as its base that is the motherboard then spreads across the hip hop and high life and makossa the secret in beat making in Nigeria goes in that direction. Then for most African artist have listened to carefully are lacking in sound engineering, unfortunately, most people don't realize that sound engineers help the artist to discover his or her self in vocal order’ like 2 face idibia has a sound engineer those days in New York after production the master disc is sent to New or taken there to be worked on’ I know it is easier now with the software but you still need an expert in that' regards. Nigeria music is not selling because of Nollywood no’ it is the amount of resources putten into it I know a small African country that has a genre so powerful that it will shake the world and I know what the problems are too
Well she is technically a, white woman educated by western thought it's not surprising she sees it that way. That's how she understands African music, NOT her fault. Blame the University that she's attending for teaching her that.
I want to believe we are talking about producing music for the world stage. MUSIC is both business and entertainment. Show business put together.

Queen Sheebah like Nigerians has originality and unapologetic of her uniqueness.
Nigerian musicians are unapologetic and so is Sheebah.
She's also great. 👑💪💝
Everybody is trying to explain the success of Nigerian Music. The reason is actually very simple. Modern Afrobeat rests on the legacy left by *Fela Kuti.* Modern Afrobeat may not sound exactly like Fela Kuti, but both sound came from the same philosophy. Fela Kuti was a fierce Afrocentric, who believed that Africans should develop and project their own culture like Europeans. So, he created his signature rhythm, which he called 'Afrobeat.' And he sang only in Nigerian pidgin and his native language. Fela Kuti became a folk Hero because of his Afrocentric and Nationalist views. Eventually, the new generation learned Fela Kuti's cultural pride. They also improved his unique and catchy rhythm, and called it Afrobeats.
The tale even predates Fela Kuti... Side note btw; it's his drummer that invented afrobeat. His name is Tony Allen.
Great job
Nja music are really tick. U can stand listen to it. The music must move u to dance.
Naija 4 life 🇳🇬 we move
Expect more from us. We are still coming. Nigerian music still have more gap ahead over other countries music. Because we truly understand what music is all about. You can't kill a king while he's still alive until he dies by himself. Music is like this..get from those whom are bigger than yours and use it to develop your skill. This was how Michael Jackson became the greatest. He was formally a James Brown dancer before he figured out his dancing skills.
You hit the nail on the head. Nigerians are very good at "following who know road". The only way you can grown is put your head down and learn
You are so right about the influence of the Congolese music. I left a similar comment on another page. It was during the period of the Congolese music wave that young Nigerian musicians started blending their songs with different styles of music.
Afrobeats and blended music and too different things. Congolese music doesnt have any influence on Nigerian music, we did listen to it in past but it refused to evolve so its diminished
I want to believe we are talking about producing music for the world stage. MUSIC is both business and entertainment. Show business put together. You must have a mastery of whatever business you want to succeed. Nigerians have the most richest businessmen in the continent making them have more financial power and investment in the industry (also the movie industry). As regard entertainment, beyond what is normal i think that comes with natural vibes and ginger, we are loud and naturally show people. when a Nigerian plane lands in an airport u all know that Nigerians have arrived. One other thing we cant rule out is the size of our population at home and in the diaspora. So many things working in our favor. FOR EVER LIVES AFRICA!
Her skin is awesome. Such lushness...
Which skin crazy hope you don’t go bleaching yourself because you guys and light skin are 5/6
Congolese sounds never paved the way for Nigerian sounds.
That part got me confused
Love your shows🥰🥰🥰
Don’t forget about Fela Kuti in 70’s God father of Afrobeat, who is known in Germany, USA and other European countries.
You said it all 👍👍👍👍
Congolese music was massive in Nigeria in the '70s, but it did not influence the development of modern Afrobeat, because both sounds are totally different.
Wrong, it's not a copy but the influence is there. Fela himself had a congolese guitarist, stop the cap😆
@@mikailm6934 wether or not Fela had a Congolese guitarist or was influenced . Congolese music has no bearing on the current growth in Nigerian Afrobeats
@@truethots3088 it's not direct but indirect. Nigerians are the best African music producers and took from several african genres. Nowadays Amapiano is trending but congolese musical influence is there too. Congolese influence is present in Fela Kuti afrobeat(guitar), in Nigerian highlife (Congolese rhythms and guitar patterns with Nico Mbarga and Olivier de Coque..) And these two musical genres are the basis of modern nigerian afrobeats. There is also a latin/haitian influence in songs like Love Nwantiti and these kind of slow rhythms have been brought in America by Kongo slaves. It's not a copy nor directly there but it's definitely present, you can't talk about african music both in the motherland or the diaspora without mentioning Congo
I agree with you about the influence of the Congolese sound on Nigeria. We don’t give Congo enough credit for their influence on us. Congolese music was huge in Nigeria in the late 90s and the early 2000s.
No Congolese music had a lot of influence on Nigerian even in the '60s to the '80s
Congolese sound didn't pave anyway for Nigerian music Nollywood did
Congolese music pave the way for all African. First ones to pack venues in Europe with 17000 people thanks to Koffi Olomide 🇨🇩. Opened the way for others to come over. Gims 🇨🇩 recently packed Stade de France with 72000 people. James Brown and Muhammed Ali came to perform in Congo 1974 together with Congolese and other successful artist in Congo and Africa. Go check the facts, you might just not know or you are just biased
Hello Congolese are French speaking country nigeria on is own his a English speaking country Congolese did not pave way for nigeria,Nigeria pave way for them self we are always there bro
Bro the sounds of music has no language. Once you see one do, and its kind succesful you will try to do the same. Travel througout Africa: Ivory coast, Cameroun, Senegal, Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and ask them about Congolese music.
You know Manu Dibango? Michael Jackson plagiated sole of his stuff. He is from Cameroun. Cameroun is next Nigeria but tell me why he went to cross 3 boardes to do music in Congo?
We do music over 60 years. Its part of our culture. Beyonce recently used one of our old classic in a video on her Instagram. We did just popped up last decade bro
We play the music naturally. We dont need a dj, a beatmaker or a computer to make music bro.
@@bantuhebrew2439 everything you just said about Congo applies to Nigeria but on a grander scale for example Beyonce didn't just use Nigerian sound on her Instagram she used Nigerian sound, Nigerian musicians, Nigerian authors and writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on her album Lion King. 90% of the artists featured are Nigerian. have you seen Burna boys features and David O's features? nicki minaj, ed sheeran, stormzy the biggest of the biggest in the us and globally. if we look at awards won Nigeria has swept all the foreign BET awards given to non usa blacks world wide except 2. you cant deny Nigeria is ahead of Congo
Nah y’all not ahead. But y all did not even came close to even. It’s like worldcup. In the 60s we were the litest, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s. In 10s we still lit but Naija came too along with Tanzinia and South Africa. Its like what 5 (6) 🇨🇩 to 1 🇳🇬.
Gims (congelese) did stade of France 72000 people in 2020, which Nigerian artist beating that? Ninho, Dadju, Naza, Kalash Crim, Keblack got mutiple platine, gold, diamond disc, who is beating that?
Fally Ipupa recently sold out in Paris 21000 people in 2020.
Damso broke fastest stream selling album ahead of everyone including American.
Keep in mind that Congolese music and artist has banned in Europe by Congolese patriots due to bad political situation. From 2008 to 2019 every concerts was cancelled due to riots. That left some space for other african to enter. Go watch Fally Ipupa Gare du Lyon train station fire 2020 and see how serious it was.
BET is people’s opinion, men lie, women lie numbers dont. Judge concerts (how many, where and how many people), platinum disc diamond discs, youtube view, streams ... you cannot lie or hate on numbers. BET can give trophy based on feeling. since it’s all English Usa Nigerian and your songs they are biased. We sing in Lingala and French. If USA was french speaking then we would have an advantage. Fally Ipupa should have won BET in 2014 or 2013 but they gave it to Stonewboy and he dudnt even expected it, shouting out Fally when he received the trophy. Fally should have got it 2010 as well. InnossB should have got in 2020. Fally Ipupa started his solo career in 2006 and still lit until now. Left Psquare, J Martins, Dbanj, 2face, ... behind.
Congolese music is lasting over 60 years with different music genres are styles. We will see how Afrobeat will last. Slowly starts sounding the same. Naija had a good debut decade but far away from ahead. Congo got lit without internet back in the days.
The music we (Nigerians) promote is called ‘Afro beat or Afro hip hop’ - which is ultimately an African thing , I don’t understand neither do I subscribe to this persecution of Nigerians in Africa. It’s a shameful and sad development.................but then it’s Africa ! We are so comfortable with bringing ourselves down
Nigerian music does not sound like Congolese music at all, The base of Nigerian music is Afrobeat infused with other local sounds
Yes it soind different because it's not a copy, just an inspiration.Fela Kuti music was really different than most modern Nigerian music, meaning others influences took part to define the Nigerian music
I dont know why you guys keep saying afrobeat , nigeria most beat is makossa beat from cameroon
@@camairblood9259 Nigerian is all about afrobeat okay..
Not makosa.. makosa is long gone
@@camairblood9259 stop complaining and do it if you can do it better like Nigerians. Nigerian music and musicians are always popular since 1950's. Fela Kuti passed away long time ago but he still the most popular and greatest musician ever and also he was the most influential musician in Africa
No African Country want to listening to French music in 21st century.
Nigeria has influence, numbers, money and a platform to promote Nigerian and African culture to the World, that's why Nigerian music are in Global now.
Nigeria always represents the Africa Continent and always will.
Was shocked when he said this.
Brother we developed our culture and lifestyle that portrayed to global attention
It is all due to Abami eda, Fela Anikulapo Kuti
Should we tell them?
She spoke facts! 💯 ✅ You should give to where it is due. Congolese music 🇨🇩🎵 is the mother of music in Africa and pave the way for other countries to have the will to do music. Congolese music is the purest African sound produced naturally and most talented with style like Rumba, Seben, Soukous, Folklore, Tokoos, AfroCongo and more 🇨🇩 🎸🥁🎷🎹🪕🎼🎶 🗣💃☝️
I love Congolese music. But to say the genre paved the way for Naija music shows lack of research and awareness.
@@siqklinx2021 When AWILO used to perform in Nigeria in the 90s P SQUARE brothers were amongst those that climbed the stadium wall to watch AWILO.
Congo is the first ever african country to have had a continental banger "independence tcha tcha " released in jjne 1960 after Congo's independence and this hit became the anthem of independences of African countries. At this time Nigerian music was still a ghetto music .
Congolese music dominated africa from the 60s up to mid- 2000s.
It's in 2008 that Nigeria had its first TRULY continental starts who are P SQUARE.
@@siqklinx2021 you should also know that those Nigerians so called musicians are of cause artists but there are not great singers. They cannot perform Live music without dj.
Rhumba genre from Congo has nothing to do with Wizkid or Davido.
Seben genre from congo is more powerful to make someone dance than Burna boy or etc
Anyways those who congo they acknowledge that congo had truly super stars 50 years before Nigeria. So Nigerians should chill and learn. And things may change Nigeria is dominating Africa for the past 13 years . Congo dominated for 45 years .
@@imhotep1613 Like I said, you should do some more research. Nigerian artists were touring the world in the 60's. Artists like IK Dairo, King Sunny Ade, Fela and others were Playing stadiums in Japan, UK, America, France and many European countries. Perhaps not touring the whole of Africa but, they still touched some parts. Congolese music is amazing. We can probably argue that melodically its Number 1 in Africa. In the world even. I know I can't resist it and have been a fan for years.
The thing is however, due to language constraints perhaps, it was never as popular outside Francophone countries, France and Belgium. Most Nigerians have no idea about it.
As far as paving the way, when you talk about paving the way you have to realise Nigerian artists are getting doors open worldwide due to these artist from the 60's, the term Afrobeats, Nollywood and the undeniably good music.
The Awilo concert you talked about in Nigeria MIGHT be true but I guarantee you that's not what paving the way means. Paving the way means, creating a path, a pattern and, reaching a height others can aspire to and surpass.
Although, Congolese artists may make incredible music. Previous Nigerian Arists mainly paved the way for African Artists.
Nigerian Artists today still have not reached the heights set by the likes of Fela and King Sunny Ade, and others internationally who paved the way for them.
@@siqklinx2021 interesting . Yes I will do researches about those Nigerian artists of the 1960s and see if they were worldly as powerful as TABU LEY, GRAND KALLÉ.
I'm not the one who wrote the statement of paving the way .that's not me it's the author of the first comment we all replying to .
Regarding the language, saying that Congolese music may have not went higher due probably o the language I totally reject this statement because most of us think that the power of Nigerian music in the world is a new phenomenon for Africans. NO . Congolese rhumba was popular way back before congo's independence in 1950s . When congo got its independence in 1960 congo already had artists performing in Cuba,usa etc the most known one is GRANDE kallé who is the first ever to hit a continental banger " independence tcha tcha "
At this time in africa Fella Kuti and company were not known in africa . People think that Congolese were performing only n francophone countries that's not true .
Congolese sing in lingala and made it to the world. The only difference is that at that time there was no social media like today so that anybody anywhere can witness
Congo nko Kongo ni . Proudly Nigeria 🇳🇬
5 years on I wonder what she thinks now
Congo please stop saying u made ways for nigerians success ok it's just that I don't know wat u are doing in d music industry we are hard working....
Lol so you weren't hardworking before the 00's? Because you only took the lead after the Congolese/ivoirian era
@@mikailm6934 Fela Kuti even still popular than all of the Congolese musicians all together.
Nigerian musicians are always popular since 1950's
Nigerian music is all over the world right now because of the Social Media platforms and Nigerians also has much influence in Western Countries and other part of the world.
Nigeria has the Talent, Numbers and Money so no African Country can stand against Nigeria.
@@mikailm6934 Nigerian Entertainment Industry has money, influence and a huge platform to promote their music and culture to the World. Nigerians are also intelligent, smart and self-confident.
@@papap1186 lol that's a damn lie. Fela Kuti was popular yes but more in the West than in Africa except Nigeria. If I'm wrong then can you tell me which african musicians who weren't nigerians were inspired by his music and made afrobeat big in their respective countries? Franco Luambo, Bongo Man,Tabu Ley, Koffi olomide, Papa Wemba and many more so influenced the music of others african countries ,the whole central , eastern and southern Africa but also West Africa (the congolese band OK Jazz performed in Nigeria for example). If you don't know just ask. Where did Fela performed in Africa except Nigeria?Should I talk about Awilo Longomba more popular in Nigeria and the whole Africa than in Congo because his music was average to us?

She is right. Congolese music did pave the way for Africans. It was already lit before other countries started to wake up and do music
Bro shot up vomiting lies nonsense 😂 lol,, pave like hell I laugh in Chinese,,, did she know what she's saying wow 😅😂
Go watch all my comments here. Google it or youtube it to enlarge you african music knowledge. I dont mind helping you with that? Start with Kora Awards. We was lit and known before internet came up to rescue you guys.

Just bring you and whole africa the facts since you guys seems to have amnesia

What Congolese song 😂😂
Exactly,you can sometimes tell the coupe decale/ndombolo influence
Dis woman said something that most observers do say. I will explain later
In our bedroom lol
Lol. Most of these people dissecting Nigerian music should go and learn the history of Juju, Fuji and High Life music genres in Nigeria. Names like King Sunny Ade was taking the world by storm in the late 70s and 80s. We just have a bigger platform now on the internet.
I can tell you what is happening in the UK. They are using JA dancehall and slang.
The problem is that most Jamaicans cannot tell the difference between Nigeria and Ghana.
Ejó po
Numbers Numbers and numbers simple
if you want the formula, go to Lagos
Hmm...if congolese made way for other countries
How come deir music is not popular
U people should be taking credit for wat u didnt do
Some people in naija dont even know congo
I have never listened to a congolese song in my life
So i dont know wat ur talking about.
You dont know anything about African music bro. Congolese music is the most influencial music being an inspiration from all over Africa especially Ivory coast and Cameroun to Colombia, Panama, ... In 2000, a Congolese artist was the first African artist to perform and pack venues of 17000 pax in Europe. Rest of Africa came after. Koffi Olomide paved the way for you guys.
Go watch the Kora awards of 90s 00s. Go see who dominated it. Nigeria was no where to find. Naija just really on for a decade. If you really listen good to its sounds, you will find out it becoming monotoneous, its repeating. Time to create a new style and sound without copying or remixed the sound that are existing like it was done with afrobeats.
Congo has created different music genre like soukous, ndombolo, sebene, folklore, tokoos, afrocongo and its identity la Rumba Congolese not to mention the Congolese artist in France who created again a different style. Gims just packed the stade of Francs with 72000 pax. Another record on a Congolese name. Dont forget that Awilo Longomba is also Congolese
Its #OneLove brother. Just stating facts 💯
And by the way, Nigerians made a whole movie about Congolese people. Go watch Back from Congo, its on youtube. A certain group of Congolese behave llike you show in the movie. To know that you have to dig
Bro me too I have never in my life watch or listen to their music... No Nigerians listen to that I rest my case😅😂This people are so funny
I am just stating facts bro. Nigerians do listen to Congolese music especially in France. Go watch the comments. Go ask J Martins about Fally Ipupa, or Koffi Olomide. Listen to their Featurings
I did not even mention the fact that Muhammad ali and James brown came to perform in Africa back in 1974. Where? Congo Zaïre music festival in Kinshasa. Why? Cause we were lit since then already. Congolese where screaming Ali boma ye during the boxing in Congo Zaire. Americzn rapper The Game made a song Ali Boma ye. Boma ye means Ali Kill him/Finish him off.
Btw you know Manu Dibango 🎷. He is from Cameroun. Mickael jackson one of his song « mama se mamakosa ». Nigeria is neighbours with Cameroun. But Manu left cameroun to continue his musical career in Congo Zaïre. Love for Naija but you guys where no where to found. Just popped up last decade.
Go listen to Fally Ipupa, Innoss B, Papa Wemba, Koffi Olomide, Ferre Gola, Werrason, TOP Ok jazz, ... and more. Music styles and genre for every mood, not just party songs. We sing in our own language Lingala (Swahili and more) most beautiful romantic language in Africa. Screw the language of the colonizer French, English or their African remixed dialect of it (Pidgin and more). We are proud of our African language.
You better rest your case when you got nothing to say bro. Or tell me about the history about Naija, Ghana music what I dont know. Internet, beatmakerprograms and computer rescued African countries since they could not play it naturally. Go listen to our styles and genres you will find out Congolese are talented. our concerts is all live. Singing Live, play instrumentals live, dancing live.. no dj. Dont hate on us. We Africans
If you dont know now you know brotha. It’s all love. Just got to bring you the facts cause we got a whole history about our music. This lady and guy are knowing what they are talking about. And she is not Congolese !
Bless
Is that what you have to say? 🤷♂️ Share me sole facts instead
Nigeria is mainly afro how is that copying Congo music? Sorry you are wrong , Fela is the driving force and the Nolly wood effect may have pushed Nigeria music
2:08very wrong, congo sounds nufin like naija, I would say the closest to nigerian sound should be Ghana
ghana beats came after Nigeria so that's why its similar, congo beat is way older...... and that dance beat is similar to todays afro fast dance beat.... and way back south Africans were on top too......its just our turn now on top, people should just stop being jealous of us honestly 🤣 we didn't tear down brenda fassie or awilo
@@FOH45 true.!!.their jealousy really comes from the height we have taken African music, it's much bigger than those great names you mentioned like my dear Brenda,chaka Chaka and co. Now there's much more money, more fame within and out of Africa, also foreign collaborations ,and the sound now is much more accepted or embraced in Europe Asia and so on .This is great achievement and would keep on growing
You don't know congolese music then, when you hear highlife, you hear congolese influence, when an african play guitar, there is almost always a congolese influence somewhere. Fela himself had a congolese guitarist named Kiala Nzavotunga and Olivier de Coque the biggest Nigerian highlife musician was taught guitar by a congolese expatriate in Nigeria.
You mean *thick* . Meanwhile this lady said Francophone sound influenced Anglophone sound.
Congolese .using paved what way?
Asking a clueless person question
Cogo did not do anything to nigeria, Nollywood is what push our music forward
Wtf? Congolese sound paved way for Nigerian sound? Are you for real? That's a an uninformed statement madam...
It's not, Nigerian music took the lead only after Congolese domination. The Congolese Awilo Longomba is a legend in Nigeria more than In Congo
@@mikailm6934 maybe so. But saying they paved way for Nigerian music, is wack
@@johndavid8789 it's probably an exageration but Congolese music and success inspired nigerians at some extand

Ur very stupid Caligula for spitting nonsense
So what do you want to achieve with this your sermon?
what ya'll talking about nigerian music not tick in fact ut just like Hip Hop from America like nigerian make music just like American it not diffrent like other country in Africa
Madam u no go wise? Why is Congolese music not in the fore front?
It was before though its just that some of their wording is wrong but we love Congo
Congolese did not pave any wave for Nigerian music. Nigerian music is not any where inspired or similar to Nigerian Afrobeats. Nigerian music is miles ahead.
Nigerian music don’t copy other African music because we priorities our unique identity, it speaks throughout our music. It is what makes us thrive
This woman is really confused
We tend to forget the power of population. Nigeria has about 230 million pple. Its easy to go big when u have such a domestic market....(more money, more endorsements, international attention - calling for collabos from artists).
In a nutshell = Easy to get when u have.
Sorry, this is Makosa and not pop
Like copying Hip Hop and naming it Bongo flava 🤔
The lady that did the analysis I think doesn't understand the fundamentals of the Nigerian music genre.
The music industry in Nigeria has afrobeat as its base that is the motherboard then spreads across the hip hop and high life and makossa the secret in beat making in Nigeria goes in that direction. Then for most African artist have listened to carefully are lacking in sound engineering, unfortunately, most people don't realize that sound engineers help the artist to discover his or her self in vocal order’ like 2 face idibia has a sound engineer those days in New York after production the master disc is sent to New or taken there to be worked on’ I know it is easier now with the software but you still need an expert in that' regards. Nigeria music is not selling because of Nollywood no’ it is the amount of resources putten into it I know a small African country that has a genre so powerful that it will shake the world and I know what the problems are too
Well she is technically a, white woman educated by western thought it's not surprising she sees it that way. That's how she understands African music, NOT her fault. Blame the University that she's attending for teaching her that.
I want to believe we are talking about producing music for the world stage. MUSIC is both business and entertainment. Show business put together.
