Lokassa Ya Mbongo is my best African Soukous lead Guitarist. He is the man with Beret Cap. Saw him first in Houston some year ago with the Soukous Stars, a band group he formed in Paris in 1989.
Lokassa plays rythm guitar not lead. But thats how you know hes that good bc hes makes the rythm guitar sound so melodic even tho its suppose to be more chord like
@andsalomoni When you say it like that it makes sense. Also, yes, me being from the US. If you jumped on stage and started throwing money in their shirt I would question what the act meant. I never thought about it being a sign of respect. Ya learn something new everyday :)
@D1BonGo Yes, I understand. But even if you pay 30 dollars, you can add 1 dollar to give on stage: 30 and 31, it's not a great difference, but it makes a great difference for the relation with the musicians.
MR. SCOTT SHUSTER CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU GET ALL THESE CLIPS OF LOKASSA YA MBONGO AND THE SOUKOUS STARS AND HOW DO I GET THEIR TOUR DATES? I LOVE LOKASSA YA MBONGO'S SOLO SO MUCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE THE BEST CLIPS OF HIM KILLING IT SOLO. THANK YOU MUCH LOVE
keep this up, scott. in CT. so few people performing this music. been reachingout all over the net and otherwise to learn keyboards in soukous, benga, ohangla........no one around.
yes Scott Shuster, you are right, Americans don't know that you are suppose to get on stage and show your appreciation by stuffing money either in the cloth, pockets, or on the forehead. I did this when Samba was in Philly, on this same tour, and though the people were enjoying the music, they looked completely oblivious as to what I just did, and what was dissapointing was that the few Africans in the house didn't follow after me..maybe being to self conscious in an American audience
SOLO HABLO ESPAÑOL, PERO ESTA GENTE EXPRESAN LAS COSAS DE UNA MANERA RARA. Y AUNQUE NO ENTIENDA NADA. LO QUE MAS ME INTERESA ES SU RITMO. GRACIAS POR SUBIR ESTA MUSICA.
@szeal Well, you're not supposed to give them a 100 dollars banknote, you can give 1 dollar too (is it too much money?). It is a tangible way to show your appreciation and a beautiful way to establish a physical contact with the musicians. I think we westerners are too stingy.
@andsalomoni wait wait wait..... I have no problem supporting musicians. In fact I was at a concert last night and forced $5 into someones pocket because he gave me a copy of their LP. In Africa where they have a lot of free concerts yes I understand giving them money onstage. Also I actually think it's really cool and fun to do. BUT if you are PAYING $30 - $40 just to walk in the door to see them at a venue in the states I think that should be enough. It's not stingy.
Wait a minute...I know that audiences in parts of Africa go up onstage and give money, but does the band get paid for the gig the same way in Africa as here? I mean in Africa, is the band given a flat amount for playing, and then they get "tips" from the audience? In America, is a band like this paid more up front for playing? So are we supposed to give them even more money while they are on stage? It would be nice to keep that custom alive...as long as I can afford to, anyway.
