Remembering A Congolese Rumba King

March 31, 2024 - 10:00 PM Hail Rumba King One of Africa's undisputed biggest hitmakers, Tabu Ley Rochereau, a star with a honeyed voice went on to become one of the continent's most successful music impresarios. He was born Pascal-Emmanuel Sinamoyi Tabu in either 1937 or 1940 (sources differ) in a small village in Bandudu province in what was then still the Belgian Congo and is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. He became one of Africa's most prominent musicians — dubbed "the voice of lightness" for his effortlessly sweet tone — and along the way was one of the pioneers of Congolese rumba, the dance music that managed to meld the sounds of a Cuban bandstand with an African lilt and that later......

THE CONGOLESE POLITICIAN WHO PUSHED FOR THE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT OF KOFFI OLOMIDE

March 27, 2024 - 02:40 AM THE CONGOLESE POLITICIAN WHO PUSHED FOR THE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT OF KOFFI OLOMIDE Zacharie Bababaswe, was once considered one of Koffi's closest friends. He is a Congolese MP and politician, and without him, Koffi Olomide would probably be a free man in his native Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Koffi Olomide assaulted one of his female dancers at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport when he touched down in Nairobi. Possibly Koffi thought his woes were over when he was deported to Kinshasa by the Kenyan government. This left the promoter of his tour, Jules Nsana, counting losses and working out the logistics to refund the money some fans had paid for tickets online and in advance.......

REMEMBERING BAVON MARIE-MARIE SIONGO

March 20, 2024 - 10:00 AM Bavon Marie-Marie Siongo traversed Congolese music history at full throttle. In the span of only twenty-six years a lot of things happened: he matured, made himself a name despite being in the shadow of a very famous elderly brother, and posthumously became a musical icon amongst the souls who lit up the skies in the 1970s. Yet, his story leaves a bitter taste as well as a feeling of incompleteness and total loss… Just over fifty years ago, the life of a talented boy came to a screeching halt.This comet-like life began in Kinshasa on May 27, 1944. After the death of his father, Marie-Marie was raised alone by his mother in the “Far West” neighborhood (today’s......
