[@selemanshidda9688]

This pure creativity of African musicians-Soukouss . The Congolese are leading.

[@peterneumeyer9232]

Quite fascinating. The clear guitar from the music that I, as a white German man, love so much. Don I admire you, how beautifully you bring this culture across! Yours (girlfriend and dancer doesn't look Congolese either, but she can relate very well to this beautiful Congolese movement). I'm a hobby guitarist and only manage to feel the commercial stuff to some extent. I don't need harmonie information, whether major or minor, I have that feeling immediately for every song, but I really miss the technique. Don you bring this divine feeling for the Soukous guitar incredibly well. That's why I love you. Greetings from Germany, Peter Neumeyer

I only discovered your site lately. But since than I listen to your music every day. I lived in Africa for over 50 years and being a guitarrist I got used to play african music. But your technic is a lot better than my style.I wonder if your music is of your own criation?

Just discovered you trying to listen to some old school Congolese music. Wherever my people are celebrated, I celebrate......

Don ! You are a real guitar maestro! Quite impressed by the way you handle that instrument. Do something with Faya Tess Plizzzzz!

[@robertbarrios9969]

I don't know why you don't have more visualizations, it's great what you do with the guitar. Greetings from Cartagena, Colombia. Here a musical rhythm was born a few decades ago that is the product of soukous and various African rhythms, it is called Champeta, there are some champetas that are very similar to soukous, I hope you can listen to some good titles so that you become familiar, here are some: "Made in Tribu Baharú"-Tribu Baharú "Qué Bonito"-Bomba Estéreo "El bololó"-Bazurto All Stars "Champetizate"-Kevin Florez "La Viuda de Pescado"-Hernando Hernandez "El liso en Olaya"-Louis Towers "Braulio el Templao"-Mr Black "Los Trapitos al Agua"-Mr Black "El abogado Corrupto"-Charles King "El bicarbonato"- Charles King "El Botón del Pantalón"- Systema Solar "La Pikotera"-Kevin Florez

[@soundnation3533]

No music from Colombia or South America is the product of Soukous and various African rhythms. It is the other way around. But you can keep telling yourself that lie if it makes you feel better.

[@robertbarrios9969]

@@soundnation3533 ¿A quién le creo? ¿A ti o al legendario Lokassa Ya Mbongo (RIP) que dijo que la música Champeta es hija del Soukouss? Vé a formar polémicas con verdadero fundamento a otro lado.

[@robertbarrios9969]

@@soundnation3533 la primera canción que mencioné arriba es "Made in Tribu Baharu" del grupo Tribu Baharu, los cuales han hecho cancione, feats con Diblo Dibala y Kanda Bongo Man. ¿Sabes que estos dos grandes de la música del Congo si leyeran tu comentario dirían que estás equivocado? Diblo Dibala dijo del guitarrista de Tribu Baharu que de haber sabido que existía y que era tan bueno, se lo hubiera llevado para su gira que tuvo en el continente americano hace años, por allá en el 2018 o más atrás, cuando Diblo coincidió con el grupo en un concierto en el primer pueblo libre de América, San Basilio de Palenque, pueblo de gente negra, gente luchadora. ¿Por qué lo dijo? Porque la esencia de Tribu Baharu es la Champeta original, que es lo más parecido a su padre Soukouss. Hasta recuerdo a Lokassa en 2018 que le decía a otro guitarrista colombiano llamado Ludwig Watts: "¿Cómo puedes tocar tan bien el Soukouss si no naciste en el Congo ni has ido allá? Tocas como africano" No sigo poniendo más evidencias porque tengo misericordia de ti y porque no tengo tiempo.
