Makossa

Today I'm going to post some classic Makossa tunes. Because to remind how good Makossa was in the 80's which was called Pop Makossa. Funky Makossa was created by Manu Dibango in the 70's who is one of the Cameroonian stars to become successful out of the U.S. There was also Makozouk which was Makossa mixed with Zouk and Makossa fused with Congolese Soukous.

Well enjoy these tracks.

Petit Cachet - Retrouvailles Parisiennes - 1993

Koffi Olomide Vs. Werrason

As u know, there has been a rivalry between Koffi and Werrason. We don't know who will release their album's first. Recently, Flam Kapaya left Maison Mere and joined Quartier Latin International - Les Meneiurs. Flam has working on Album du Patron with Koffi to fill in the Poor Generique. So in the meantime, Werrason called Beniko Popolipo (ex.Zaiko and ex.Quartier Latin member) to fill in Flam's licks he made. In my opinion, I don't know if Beniko can do the hardcore licks. But in Zaiko, he made some extreme licks there and also in QL . So, he probably can do it.

4 Etoiles - Afro Rhythmes Presente (1983)

This was the 4 Etoiles's First Album under the Afro Rhythms production. Good Early Soukous!!

Check these sebens from young unknown guys

Young Children in the Congo are already excellent guitarists by just studying the guitar. But if you want to learn how to play the Congolese guitar - Check Below:

The Parisian Soukous Scene Part 2 of Bubblegum Soukous (1986 - 1990

This is Part 2 0f Soukous but Part 1 of 1986 - 1989
I think Soukous improved during these years than the first period it started. Most artists started playing Soukous during these years and that's when it was still danceable. Enjoy!!!
