This music as classic as it was in the 70s as it's today, we looked forward to a weekend so we could dance the Friday night a way and come Monday we were so fresh to face the week away. The likes of Kiam, veve, novele generation made my day.

This " New Generation" literally rewrote the Congolese Rumba sound.... setting it up on the road to what the current artists have gradually evolved it into!!!
Its hard to live with the fact that this musical gem cannot be found in modern art! I loved this group especially the great Bakoloketa. He had a way with his raspy voice that made dancing with a woman a pulsating experience!
@@mikerosco4267 And to add, this Muzola Ngunga who had the raspy voice which made dancing with women pulsating, was only 17 years of age then. You can imagine!
@@jabirkiminza9780 Amazing! I have come to the conclusion that the sweet songs during the Cavacha period were all tied to one Verckys Kiamuangana. He was a visionary.
@@mikerosco4267 Verckys Band was Ochestra veve. The only conection he had with other bands was that he was the sponsor. Being a brilliant sponsor he was, sought carefully which Bands to sponsor as an invester. As for the case of Ochestra Kiam, it was sheer luck that the group came to record with his recording firm ZADIS ( before changing to Editions Veve) in 1974 ; the band was called another name but he outsmirted the owner and ended up owning the band via sponsoring due to their prowess with the instuments. He named the Band after himself - KIAM -short form for Kiamuangana. The arrangements and how every member was to play the guitar and drums was LELE NSUNDI's brain child. Kiamuangana was just to pocket the proceeds there after. And this led the breaking up of this outfit in 1978. They felt short changed.
Is very fantastical rhythm never hired newer day's. I remember when I finished my primary school education, some one had a record player in our village, brought it and prayed that song in our celebrations. Ohh it was very fine.
Great and fantastics hits. Enables me to remember the days of juke boxes, turntables and boogies. December holidays were made of this hits in platform shoes and bellybottoms.
I’m listening to this music right inside DRC with colleagues much younger than myself. Sadly none of them are conversant with this music. I pity them
