That is nice! The many African music's are still dreadfully overlooked especially in the bass community. Thanks to the channel for always digging deep for the best! Cheers...
Oh, definitely. Listen to Bakithi Kumalo, for example. But, in general, there's a good driving bass groove in soukous, mbaqanga, marabi, kwêla, kwaito, makossa... I can't speak to west or east African styles, as I'm not too familiar with them
I'm seeing African. I'm only of Scottish descent, born here in the Niagara Peninsula close to Niagara Falls. I saw Jimi Hendrix and George Benson in 1969, my two biggest influences, also with violin, trumpet and sax. When Drastik Measures, from Dominique, first came to Canada they won the Toronto Caribana Best Parade Band Prize their first year. They started a club in the peninsula where most of the migrant workers are, and hired me for two seasons. Soca, soci, dance hall, traditional one-chop raggae, with the Drastik Measures' polyrhythmic sound. They opened for George Benson when he toured the island. Michel Lumana, Mr. NGO, you can share the stage with me any time. Fresh and lively is always the best. If you'd like a little Scottish funk influence, no... not The Average White Band, who had huge funk disco hits, but early Paul Young when he had Dino Paladino on bass, setting a new production standard for pop-rock. When he wanted to "tear your playhouse down", he sounded like he really did.
thank you very much, really I will be very happy to be able to play with you. I am from the Congo, a country in the center of Africa. and i reside in europe (france). if you have plans to play in America, do not hesitate. we work for that 😉. again, thanks for everything

@@michelbassmrngo4542 You have shown yourself here to be as gracious a gentleman as you are a musician. However... I can ride my bicycle to the American border at Niagara Falls in a couple of hours, but I haven't crossed that border since 1977. It really is different over there, to be polite. Je ne sais pas toutes les mots, and je ne parle tres vite, mais tu est Mon Monsieur. Better than that, there are Sons and Daughters of the Gael who speak Gaelic. Bay-an-uck let, blessings on you.
I, like you, am a lover of metal. But yes, this is just...so refreshing and good to listen to. Metal is so focused on down-tuning and all kinds of tech. You can't even hear the bass in the mix, and sometimes barely even the guitar. This is just so nice, this sound.
Same here! I've been fed a steady diet of metal since childhood, and I really like what I hear. It has a killer groove, the man is very skilled, and his playing is melodic. Regarding some of today's metal music, you're right about that. It's weird; most of those metal guys who down tune were influenced by Geezer Butler one way or another. And he tuned down as well, he pioneered that heavy metal bass sound. But he had a nice, well-defined sound. You can clearly hear it in the mix.
@@MrClassicmetal Correct. I'm not knocking Darkglass for the gear, but I think most people who use them tend to aim for a sound that blends with the guitars. I'm all for bass that stands out, like Geezer, Geddy and Steve Harris. :)
@@MrClassicmetal Well, I suppose it was because Iommi and Geezer didn't saturate their tone with tons of distortion and pedals as they really didn't have much to choose from. Some pedals, distortion and processing are good, but like anything, too much is a bad thing.
you are absolutely right because there is a place in New Orleans that is called Kongo square. and that's where jazz was born. something that once again proves that the kongolais are among the founders of jazz. and in this piece, the idea is to show how the thumb technique and Congolese index can work in all styles of the world 😉
@MARIOS D it is a technique of Congolese origin (it is a country located in the center of africa) it has more than 400 ethnic group! and I have just finished a teaching method that deals exclusively with this technique. the link of the sales site will be published in not long time. just stay in touch.
That's how most of the sebene music is played ...to get that muted 'kick'...its like the conventional way to do it but some have learnt to just use the index or middle finger... I hope that helps
Whoever down-voted this is guaranteed to be a crappy bass player or not a bass player. Even if you don't like this style of music, if you cannot appreciate this bass playing then I cant imagine you being a bass player.

A lot of subtle and well timed movements and this guy makes it look so easy. Very cool.
Love the tone so warm and charming
this chain is a mine of new talent, thank you for continuing to present all these great performers.

This sounds so cool! Awesome groove. This man has great skills and the playing is so tasteful and melodic.
Africans play bass like it's a percussion instrument. You all need to look up Richard bona for some epic bass and vocals too BTW. Cheers y'all!!
lol it is a percussion instrument
Brilliant 👌🏿👏🏿
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
Passion, smooth, such skill and so, so, so funky to listen to. Africa grooves the bass!
Really cool stuff. Fun and groovy. Much better than all the Darkglass djent bass, in my opinion. And I've been a metaller for over well over 30 years.

So this is how all 50+ countries sound? What country? Is there something like European groove bass? Love the music though, keep up the good work.
No slap, no Dark Glass pedals? Hm. Actually I like it!
It's possible to compliment something without trashing something else. Just FYI.
@@Jackal_Blitz 🤔
Great 👍

Flamme kapaya était à la guitare 🎸
Muuuuito bom mano ! sensacional
Really cool take on a standard Rhythm tune.
Yesss, awesome - and nice bass and sound ! ❤ 👍
Top groove 👍
Lovely jobly...proves Jazz has its root in Africa!!

Sultan A Yup it does
No no totally false
❤❤
Anyone else wish for more takes of mr. NGO playing the bass wilst dancing?
Anybody spot the color on that Jazz bass?
ITS AWESOME
NICE
in some parts reminds me Super Mario song ! Really like it !
This is the so groovy phrase of the bass. It’s difficult for us Japanese to play such a phrase. I wish I could play like this...
@MARIOS D it is a technique of Congolese origin (it is a country located in the center of africa) it has more than 400 ethnic group! and I have just finished a teaching method that deals exclusively with this technique. the link of the sales site will be published in not long time. just stay in touch.
Kkkkkkk
Uh oh, jam alert 🚨
Connecting the African and Afro American styles.. nice
❤❤❤
Soooooo nice!
Thx 🙏🙏🙏🙏
nice !
Dude took some tips from the public access dancing man on It's always sunny lol.
😂😂😂😂😂in our musical culture, dance is paramount. it starts in the belly of our mothers

Agradeço!
Chama-se NDOMBOLO! (um pouco modernisado) do Congo Democrático

Is Kapaya Flamme playing the guitar??
Oleo
Fat Abasi Thumb is my avant garde banjo orchestra that covers obscure dead jazz percussionists.
your on it
What are the chords in the intro (until 0.11) ? Thanks
So that instrument in the lion king with the warm soft feeling was just a bass???
Is that why it’s in so many j-rock songs somehow???
Am I retarded?
oleo^
I had to see if anybody had said it-Thanks ... YES "OLEO"
It’s also in the video description, literally the first sentence 😉
it's cool! but whats happend with his big finger on the left hand?
That's how most of the sebene music is played ...to get that muted 'kick'...its like the conventional way to do it but some have learnt to just use the index or middle finger... I hope that helps
This is what Tchalla listens to

Question : Est-ce Flamme à la guitare ??
Victorius S. Oui c est lui !
michel lumana oooh yes je savais que c’était lui !! En tout chapeau à vous pour cette authenticité du groove africain.
Victorius S. Merci bcp 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I need to figure out that index-thumb picking pattern, anybody got any ideas? Is it a Congolese thing?
my brother, yes it is a Congolese technique. I realized a method that clearly explains this technique. he's coming soon
