Respect back from Congo Kinshasa

When he toured Kenya.In Kisumu fans brought down a wall and entered when Franco started singing the first song.

I was also shocked when he said that. I was like: "Really?" For a moment thought that I've been lied lol until I saw your message. Turns out I was not wrong. Thank you, Christine!

What is this comment doing at the bottom it needs to be seen by those who might be misled by him

What you’re saying is not at all factually valid, Congolese rumba is inspired from this Cuban-son. In the 1930s to 1940s Cuban-Son music was played in Leopoldville on the radio belge station and it got so much widespread popularity in the Congo that local bands in the county tried to emulate it, with early bands like Dr. Nico’s African Fiesta, Grand Kallé African Jazz led by Joseph Kabesele.

@@grandone126 Sure. That's why UNESCO has been proposing to both Congos to officially designate Congolese rumba as part of their cultural heritage, due to the fact that the concept of and culture surrounding rumba originated with baKongo people, right? I'm indifferent to your claim that what I'm saying is not "factually valid". You're free to have your opinion, but it doesn't change what I have learned from listening to historians on news media who have discussed the issue. Additionally, as an undergraduate student, I took an introductory course on pop music in the Caribbean and Latin America. And with regard to every single genre that we discussed in class, the cultural influence of Africans that were brought to the Americas to be enslaved, formed an important part of the development of Caribbean and Latin American musical genres. So, it's not your opinion of what I am saying that is going to make what I know to be any less true, or dissuade me from believing that it is true.

I can hear their influence in black Americans R&b and gospel development Jazz...It's so ironic.

@@abdulrahmanraheem423 not ironic, makes sense, those that were taken took it with them, they couldn't take away our rhythm no matter where we go!

@@Laura-sg6ss I agree 100%! Flowing thru the our veins! I hear it in Caribbean music, I hear it in Brazilian music, I hear it in Moorrish (Spanish) music, Mississippi Blues, omg!

@@abdulrahmanraheem423 yep!! And the music made in those places develop in their own new ways and they influence West and Central African music too as time goes by!! It's symbiotic, it's like water, the current flows between the places and takes some beautiful sounds with it!! The music never forgets its people!!! I am very proud to be of African Descent! It's a powerful, joyous feeling!! 🥰❤🖤💚🥰

What a beautiful comment!

That's soo cool and profound. Where are you from and how did you parents discover Franco's music?

Wow! That’s profound!

This is nearly reincarnation 😉

That is so cool!!!!! You must be just as great then 😊😊

I agree

@Munoki HM it will rise one day

hes amazing!

Yeah

fubu b He never said he was the King of our music , he said that he is the King of his genre of music which is tookos music and also congolaise musicians love to give themselves nicknames by their fans.

@@omarioncavani2055 Fally, and I like his music, must pay homage. The problems of Africans is excessive ego, Fally can dance better than Franco but no way is he in the same league as Franco. Not even with Papa Wemba. We need to respect the hustle of those that came before....

D Ha'ton But he never compared himself to those legends , he has always given them the respect they deserve most importantly in all his interviews he has always spoken about the impact of Franco and papa wemba had on his career and how he look up to them when he was at the start of his career. I don’t think he is trying to be like them Fally he is just trying to create his own musical career and build his own legacy.

@@omarioncavani2055 what is tokoss?

Kester Emeneya was also named King. Fally is the King of his musical universe, his own kingdom. He has never claimed himself king of rumba. But many call him the Prince of rumba. But his the King of TOKOOOOS, his musical genre mixed from rumba and urban music.

Exactement tu as parfaitement raison

🙏 força

Rhumba is a tribal language we don't want it to become international like english and be spoken by everyone we want to protect our languages, and lingala is not the only language in congo

Amen.

Ci franco e mort c'est a Cossé de président Mobutu qui as tués cenne pas la VIH

He didn't die of HIV. His wife still alive.

@@guychambertonnetv571 🤣🤣🤣🤣 T'es marrant toi ! Il est mort du VIH dans une clinique en Belgique.

It s was not VIH ,his wife is still living ,Mobutu killed him

@@glodielelo2101 Why he became skinny at the end of his life ? Because of his illness. Think a bit bro !!

I know, this inferiority complex is also present among the indigenous people of Latin America in which I hear them refer to their natives languages as dialects. It is sad that we still have to deal with the inferiority complex in the 21st century.

@@ShaddyRaddy The reporter also said Rumba has mix with Latinas, He does not release that all music came from Afrika, The Afrikans who where stolen from Afrika and make into slaves took it over the world , what does Latin know about Music. They should give credit where is due.

It's a Chinese Channel
