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!

[@jm04151975]

Congolese are indeed blessed with a sense of rythm found nowhere else! Luos appreciate this!

[@lewiskayala5739]

😊👌

[@afrikaincolors7483]

it's in progress 😉

[@rickymwamba9681]

This makes me believe that Congolese are the true Jews!

[@kiborstefangideonkemboi3818]

agreed

[@donkellermedia]

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!

[@pipikali]

Don your are amazing

[@paulinabli8655]

Congratulations Maestro KELLER! U R a Chief Of Guitar!😅

[@araps4w354]

You’re a great soukouss and Afro rumba guitar player.. You should collaborate with Congolese musicians on these beautiful renditions and tour Africa

[@Rafreddy1970]

[@charlesperez9976]

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.

Don, your mix on KZbin is a most uplifting set of tunes, and your mastery of the soukouss guitar is very inspiring. I would appreciate it if you could partner with a TAB writer and make all of these licks and riffs and melodies available. I rate you as being one of my Top Twenty most inspiring guitarists. 😅 I would also appreciate to see more performances of any new songs that you appreciate, whether from Africa or other parts of the world. Thank you for the EXCELLENT playing and the positive vibe that you generate. Greetings, from a long time fan in South Africa, and to all Don Keller fans everywhere.
