BAVON MARIE MARIE SIONGO
May 19, 2024 - 07:00 PM
Bavon Marie-Marie Siongo traversed Congolese music history at full throttle. In 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 Ngiri-Ngiri......

Real name, (M'bilia Mboyo, Marie-Claire), is a Congolese singer; born in Kinshasa, Aug. 14, 1959. M'bilia dropped out of school in 1977, at the age of seventeen, to accept a position in the troupe of singers and dancers that accompanied the grand dame of Congolese music, Abeti. Well-seasoned after four years with Abeti, she joined Sam Mangwana for a series of concerts around Congo-Kinshasa (then known as Zaire). Near the end of 1981, as the Mangwana tour came to a close, Mbilia auditioned for Tabu Ley, leader of the Congolese rumba band, Afrisa. Ley hired her on the spot, giving her the stage name Mbilia Bel.Mbilia's sexy good looks and limpid soprano revitalized Afrisa and sent its......

SAM MANGWANA's MUSICAL JOURNEY
April 26, 2024 - 01:45 AM
SAM MANGWANA's MUSICAL JOURNEYThe angelic voice of the Legendary Sam. It’s just so smooth. It brings to mind the golden age of Congolese rhumba, though it’s tinged with nostalgia. His sweet voice keeps sounding new to the ears despite the years it reigned the musical world. Such a rich career spanning six decades just can’t be summed up in a 90-minutes. We begin by reflecting on his musical journey at the end of the 60s. Mangwana made his professional debut in 1963 with the Congo-Kinshasa rumba band, African Fiesta, owned and led by Tabu Ley Rochereau. Mangwana moved across the Congo River to Brazzaville where he formed a short-lived group called Los Batchichas. He......
