I know every country plays music. But there's something different about Congolese music. I believe that UNESCO should proclaim their music as world cultural patrimony. The harmony, the flow and sound it's just incredible. It seems as if god danses and sings this music! The pleasure you gain from this is by far superior to many. It's now 4am and I can't sleep!
I've collaborated with Jeannot Bel who is a great Congolese guitarist. I've learned from many others as well as learned by ear, but he has lots of instructional videos / dvds. I would look him up online. He plays lead with Kanda Bongo Man so I would absorb as much as you can. Again, I learned in many other ways but I hope this gets you at least one source for information. Carry on with your passion!
You are congolese, you are my brother. You just made me cry . You feel the pain of my brothers. This melody is dedicated to all my brothers who lost their lives. God be with us. God we need you, please feel our desperation. I beg you god help us.
It ain't one school that teaches this. It's either you're born with this gift or you're not. This guy, apparently, was born with that gift. Excellent mastery👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
A great tribute to Franco. I am 51 years old,I was at that concert in Amsterdam. His last. It was an honor to hear that magical style,the layers,like icing on a cake of rythm.
Iam a big fan of Franco, it's good to see how his music is played by musicians all over the world. Long live to Congolese Rumba, Sebene and all kind of music !
Hello from Casablanca . Don, you've made my day ,man ! as a big fan of Franco and congolese rumba I must say I'm amazed ! Plus Bembaya Jazz with your band , waow ! too much ! all the best and please keep it up !
Me imagino que este fenómeno de la guitarra Dom Keller es fiel réplica de los grandes de este hermoso ritmo africano ,pero valla que lo hace excelente . Este señor debería venir a Colombia Cartagena ,cuna de la música africana .Está es un pedazo de África hablando de ritmo .Deberían empresarios hacer está gran obra y traerlo para degustar ese talento de tocar este bello instrumento y porque no enseñar
I have just stumbled on this guitarist .His the best.i wish our musicians were here to witness to this . Music is a universal language and has no colour.i just love what Mr Keller is doing.God Bless.
He is amazing to see someone one who is not from Dr. Congo to play guitar like this , because the Congolese music he is unique in the world but hey man you are the best
Sou fã incondicional do Franco. Já ouvi muitos músicos à tocar música dele. Mas na verdade nunca vi tão perfeito como o Don Keller tocar tão bem (Massu - Franco & le T.P.O.K Jazz) ou até melhor do que o original. Excelente.
I love the expression of ur face wen you play this sweet tones. Much love from the giant of Africa 🇳🇬. I pray to see the day the world will be one. And we will all dance to soukous
Don, you continue to impress me with your artistry of Congolese music. In a perfect world, you should be standing shoulder to shoulder with these great guys you've covered. Kudos to you my "African Brother"
Esto es increíble, la música no tiene fronteras una vez más lo estamos apreciando. Amo la música africana antigua y esto es un regalo. Mucho amor y admiración por tu trabajo
This is surreal... congratulations. You're playing just like if you were in Kinshasa. This is so beautiful. Even in Kinshasa many couldn't do what you're doing
Don I want say something but I can't find the words about the job you did in this master piece because when I listen I realise you did good job my brother God bless you

Congolese are indeed blessed with a sense of rythm found nowhere else! Luos appreciate this!
😊👌
it's in progress 😉
This makes me believe that Congolese are the true Jews!
agreed

Don your are amazing
Congratulations Maestro KELLER! U R a Chief Of Guitar!😅
You’re a great soukouss and Afro rumba guitar player.. You should collaborate with Congolese musicians on these beautiful renditions and tour Africa
lOve your play. Missing interaction with the singing. But Franco.... keep the good job
you touch the music that makes me cry everyday
Ça c'est la musique de mon pays la République Démocratique du Congo. Le grand Maître Franco.
Kongo !!!!!!!!!!!!! merci mon Dieu de nous donner la musique Congolaise et merci Don !!!
Fantastique ! Quelle habileté !!? La RDC vous félicite grandement pour immortaliser le grand maître Luambo Makiadi dit Mi Amor
I'm sure Le Grand Maitre is smiling wherever he is.....Awesome!
I love massu so very much wish i was sitting next to you singing along while you play thr guitar
La musique n'a pas de frontière...DON KELLER ne fait que le démontrer avec une facilité qui prouve qu'il est très doué!
you sound great!.....I was in Zaire back in the 80s...Unforgettable excellent music.....I dunno why it's not more famous...
Bc they don’t make this type of music anymore and most rhumba stars are dead
You got it Mr. Keller. Only an African spirit can play the way you do here. You are one of us. Bravo!
the true magic begins at the 2:50 mark. Very well done Don Keller
I'm at that point where I just can't stop playing it......
Can't get anything done, when it's on you have to dance and jig.!
Too beautiful.✌️
You've done justice to one of the best African composition there has ever been!!!
This guy is amazing. I love old skool Congolese music and its always great when others take notice of the music genius of the Congolese.
With this music by Pepe Kalle we can win any war in the name of peace .What a melody !!!! Fantastic.
You are congolese, you are my brother. You just made me cry . You feel the pain of my brothers. This melody is dedicated to all my brothers who lost their lives. God be with us. God we need you, please feel our desperation. I beg you god help us.
Franchement ce blanc est mystique il a la rumba dans son sang oyo mundele ya ndenge nini c'est la première fois que je vois ça
