Firstly, if you see Nayah, please send her here lol. I need your help! So, brief synopsis. Once upon a time, I was really into music from Cote d'Ivoire, DRC, Cameroun, etc. Douk Saga, DJ Jacob, Kaysha, Awilo Longomba, Meiway, etc. My iTunes library was up to date! I have been slacking for so long (about four years lol), and I'm not trying to get back into Francophone music. There's one DRC song on which I'm currently hooked, and now I'm more determined than ever to update my Francophone library. With that said, does anyone have any great recommendations? Here's the one I'm currently in love with lol: [flash=400,300] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip_BZgbDuJI[/flash] |

ogugua88: I'm currently hooked, and now I'm more determined than ever to update my Francophone library. Sahelian Music (Senegal + Mali) is so rich. But I'm addicted to Dobet Gnahoré of Cote d'Ivoire. Don't know how to post vids but I'll recommend "Jho Avido", "Abiana" and "Samahani" but she's just awesome Here's the one I'm currently in love with nice! |

I don't know much music from Mali, apart from Mokobe lol. I've been looking for Viviane N'dour's albums everywhere but can't find them unfortunately. Thanks for the recommendations. I'm listening to 'Dala' by Dobet Ghanoré now and it sounds great. Very soothing. I'll listen to the other three as well. |

ogugua88: I don't know much music from Mali, apart from Mokobe lol. I'm just hearing about Mokobe now and I'm not feeling him lol.Oh ogugua88 you are missing out o...but perhaps you've heard some Malian music unaware but wasn't familiar with the musicians. Their music is one of the most recognized and appreciated from Africa with good reason too. But I think their music strikes a spiritual chord more so than their francophone neighbours. Habib koite Salif Keita Oumare sangare Ali farka toure Mariam et amadou . . . etc are all legends Yes, Senegalese music is great too. What do you think of Ismael Lo? |
| Re: Music From The Francophone: Let's Share! by Nobody: 6:55am On Apr 19, 2012 |
Yeah, Mokobe is a rap star really lol. I like his modern African rhythms. He did this song with Viviane N'dour, "Safari", which I really love. That's actually my fave from him, simply because of her. Her voice is mesmerizing. He also did a song with Seun Kuti, which is pretty good. You know, my dad has a few Salif Keita albums but I've never really gotten into them. I usually don't enjoy my dad's stuff until I take them and listen on my own. I'll have to do that some time. I like Mariam et Amadou. I saw them perform at a Coldplay show some years ago, and they were fantastic. I have a lot of downloading to do lol. I have a couple songs from Habib Koite had Ali Farka Toure on my old laptop. *sighs* lol. I've never heard of Ismael Lo unfortunately. I am listening to "Tajabone" now  Very soothing, like African Enya.This is off-topic, lol, but I'm guessing you like Oliver Mtukudzi? |

Well I must admit I'm usually biased against African rappers - I assume they try and form something that they're not even though I know not all of them are like that. I like Tukuleur though (well I've only actually listened to one song from them lol) But you're right, Vivane N'dour has a mesmerizing voice. I'm listening to Mokobe and Seun's duet currently and it's not bad. This is off-topic, lol, but I'm guessing you like Oliver Mtukudzi? Lol how did you make the correlation? Yeah I love Tuku. I respect authentic African music. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBoV1VSpKLo This is Nigerian, but it's very francophone-ish. I love it! |

I like Tukuleur though (well I've only actually listened to one song from them lol) I totally agree. I don't want to sound like I'm discriminating against Africans but rap doesn't flow as well with us, Mokobe included. I like what he says though lol. Yep, I love how Seun put Naija influence on that one  HAHA! It came to mind, especially with the kind of artists you're recommending. Made sense lol. I've been listening to a lot of authentic African music as of late, particularly Nigerian though. Rummaging through my dad's old cassettes and records lol. What of Fally Ipupa? He's gaining ground in Nigeria (at last lol). If you dig into his albums though, past the fast tempo songs, he's actually good and melodic. He composes well too. Modern, but he keeps the Congolese sound there too. "Attente" and "Mabele" are a couple of my faves from him. I'm free tonight, time to download lol. |

@Yield That song sounds super familiar. I may have seen the video on an African channel before. Nice find  @BABE! I like both of those songs too, particularly Iyanya's. He's well built too  I have a huge beef with Cote d'Ivoire lol. They are super extraordinarily killing whatever's left of Coupe Decale lol. That genre has been around for 10 years or so now, and it's not even changing. It's hard for me to listen to pop songs from there because it reminds me of like 10 other songs. Just like the US and Nigeria lol. |

Yep, I love how Seun put Naija influence on that one I think Africans are capable in the art of rap but rap of a different nature. We have a certain cadence so I find it rather incompatible that some Africans try to model American rap. I've been listening to a lot of authentic African music as of late Tried Thomas Mapfumo? particularly Nigerian though. Rummaging through my dad's old cassettes and records lol. Got any recommendations? I’m perhaps the only Nigerian my age that’s not a fan of Naija mainstream music but I still crave to listen to some of my country’s music so I usually sieve for old, traditional or authentic Nigerian music.What of Fally Ipupa? He's gaining ground in Nigeria (at last lol). If you dig into his albums though, past the fast tempo songs, he's actually good and melodic. He composes well too. Modern, but he keeps the Congolese sound there too. "Attente" and "Mabele" are a couple of my faves from him. Fally Ipupa eh? I knew he will make it both within and outside of Africa. I was once a listener when he wasn't too known. Now his fame has sort of repelled me a bit lol so I don’t listen to him anymore but I enjoyed his music. Yes he has put a modern spin on Congolese music at the same time trying to remain faithful to the local genre. I've always been a fan of the Congolese guitar plucking. |

Patience Dabany! First lady! I love her songs Yeah, that's very true. I'm not a big fan of American rap sef. Could be why I've never really gotten into Nigerian rap as well lol. I've never heard of Mapfumo. I'll have to do a search when I get home. Huhhhh? Lol. Nigerian mainstream's pretty good, although I'm quite behind with downloads. They're all beginning to sound the same  I sieve for the old as well. Lately, all I've been playing is Celestine Ukwu and Oriental Brothers lol.It was only a matter of time for Fally. He blew up in France before he blew up in Nigeria, which surprised me really lol. Usually Nigerians are on top of "waist-winding" music. I listen to the songs that no one knows lol. I still think "Droit Chemin" is his best album. I will post some more vids when I'm home  |

ogugua88: Patience Dabany! First lady! I love her songs One of my threads has been hidden: "Who are the top ten most handsome & hottest Ghanian actors" (from the celebrity which you moderate): https://www.nairaland.com/789010/most-handsome-hottest-ghanian-actor (same problem as last time), don't know why but can the thread please be unhidden please because I didn't do anything for the thread to end up like that, thank you. cause I sent you this message without a response and there is no complaint section in the celebrity section either to communicate with you. |
