Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I love any help you can offer me!
This guy is fucking nuts,the most beautiful style of guitar playing ive ever listen to,I can see how those simple chords can be turned into magic,its kind of like surf rock and punk rock mixed chords to be fair
As a half-Tanzanian half-German child, I never could explain why certain music made me feel so safe and sheltered. Now I know, it is the African guitar riff syle that I've known and loved since I was a little child. Asante sana!
Joyful! It's lemon floating in iced tea as dark as the Congo river. With a sprig of mint..... When a guitarist says "this says" you can tell he places human value to his works, which gives them true life. I really dig this.
Yup it's called champeta. As a congolese, I was surprised to see how famous congolese music is in Colombia. I like Colombian music as well. Btw, I was in Aruba in 2018 and loved it. Beautiful island
I was introduced to Soukous when I saw Diblo Dibala in Central Park, Summer of ‘91. Musically, it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I have always loved Soukous ever since, and haven’t found any guitarist as amazing as Diblo.
Chord tones are key for blending both the rhythm and lead so that they dance on the same stage singing off the same hymn sheet. Here is a great example of music making melody with one another - not just a mindless fumble. Love it.
i don't really know how to play the guitar, tho i'm in the process of learning in school, and for my assignment ive to write an essay on african guitar styles and im choosing congolese guitar style (soukous) and palm wine! just stumbled across this while doing some research, this is such a happy song!! :D
what he said about how you can learn a different cultures music, but it just wont sound the same, is soo true. Its just like a person who learns to speak a different language.
I came across soukous about twenty five years back and have always liked how it gets along . I think its a dance hall style . Wondered why the sound has never been taken up in the West .
+jack beezle That's true. Actually you can learn western blues/rock solos because there they explain loads of theory which will make your life easier when you migrate to soukous.
So true!!.....there is technique...then there is soul!! Place the same instrument in the hands of virtuoso players from different parts of the world, and different things come out!! Each region, each player brings their own soul into the music...that something from inside them that cannot be replicated in a textbook or tutorial, or even practice.
The DVD will be ready in Feb 2011, I am also recording a backing track to play along with plus you you cancreate your music with it. I hope this what everybody who want to learn about soukous is been waiting for HAPPY NEW YEAR
I’m from the U.S. Midwest. Not a musician or anything, but I discovered Tabu Ley Rochereau about 25 years ago when I was only about 23 or 23. I didn’t know anything about Soukous, but it appealed to me instantly. I remember that it made me happy. Still does. 😊
Jambo Joseph. Asanti sana. Mzuri. I first heard Soukous in Nairobi in 1986 played by a band from the Zaire region. I was hooked.You are right the complexity, the subtlety of it is endless, the beats are so compelling and yet whimsical. God Bless you..Joseph.
@ Joseph: You would play blues absolutely fine! Blues is universal. It's something no one can learn, or someone can teach. Blues is passed on from person to person. it's what you experience when you listen to blues. it affects people different ways. Say I showed you some old blues song I picked up from Furry Lewis, (the way you showed me some Soukous) You'd be playing 'Your blues' with a soukous flair, or vice versa, You have now just created a blues for some one to pick up on. Your feelings, your soul is now out there for another soul to connect with musically. Your blues melt with their blues. It's all universal, and it's nothing but feeling what you're dealing to get others reeling. Thank you for sharing soukous with everybody. I absolutely love it!
I have listened to Lokwa Kanza and he blew my mind. There is more to soukous or Congo music than meets the ear. His music is easy listening giving more prove than you people are naturally gifted musicians
Is there a full version of this solo, I love it, well played, you are a master I keep playing it again and again while I am working, like you said, its intoxicating, i made my American friends listen to it because they kept seeing me dancing in my chair and they also want to listen to a full version.
I watched this guy perform with the Earthquake band in Nairobi's Uhuru Park around 1982. He was a man ahead of the times, today's Kenyan artistes are not fit to shine his boots...
Greetings from India! I always aim to listen to the intro song just once, but 10-20 times is more likely. Joseph Adamson, I join most of others to ask for the name of the song. Please do post the complete version of this song.
The most beautiful guitar style in the world. You are a great guitarist.The spirit of this music opens up my heart. Just bought a guitar so I can learn to play it and Soukous music. Where can I get your DVD?
Brother, you are a great teacher. I have never touched a guitar but now at age 47 I have afforded my first guitar to learn. I hope when I get some knowledge I will learn from your website again. I see that this guitar style is very similar to rock solos, just that the rock solos are a bit too difficult and there is no repetitiveness. Can you throw some light on this. The reason I ask is that the rock solos have books and tabs written to describe them, so I can start learning from there. After that I will come here for soukous. Also, I am a bit very academic I like theory and formulas. Juts been learning for one month so I have nothing much to ask about yet. Cheers.
Soukous is dance music based on three cord formation, secondly Soukous music do not pretend to be anything else other than Soukous. Most musicians who play this kind of music can also play other types of music including Jazz, ROck and blues. Those who love to play Souokus music are aware of what you are talking about. You might be right about some singer not knowing cord changes many of them are trained musicians. Listen to Lokwa Kanza you might learn something new. Thank you for your comments
To everyone that ever wonder why african always happy with all the struggles... this video should be the aswer. Music is our secret happiness.
speedcannon69 it really is, no doubt
Music n weed, son. Happiness right there
true

Congolese (Kinshasa) the most professional musicians anywhere! Their influence extends well beyond the Congo.
That right
amen
The best rythem music in the world .No two pair of legs can resist soukous music.
Amen 🙏
A LOT OF BLACKS ACROSS THE SEAS HAVE CONGOLESE BLOOD
This guy is fucking nuts,the most beautiful style of guitar playing ive ever listen to,I can see how those simple chords can be turned into magic,its kind of like surf rock and punk rock mixed chords to be fair
He's awesome.
Soukous is the key to a good and happy life!
les guitares congolaises sont les meilleures du monde
"I have been playing guitar on and off....for a while" I wish there was a love button.
As a half-Tanzanian half-German child, I never could explain why certain music made me feel so safe and sheltered. Now I know, it is the African guitar riff syle that I've known and loved since I was a little child. Asante sana!
Love Soukous music love Zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼makes me move.
Greetings from Haiti.
I love Soukous and Ndombolo music
Joyful! It's lemon floating in iced tea as dark as the Congo river.
With a sprig of mint.....
When a guitarist says "this says" you can tell he places human value to his works, which gives them true life. I really dig this.
The DVD will be available in the new year which is around the corner, I wish all a happy new year
It is funny how i was raised in Curacao but still discovered this style of music in Barranquilla Colombia back in the 80's i felt in love instantly!!
🇨🇼🇨🇼🇨🇼🇨🇼🇨🇼
Greetings from Colombia

Greetings from Santa Marta Colombia 🤟

I can keep the part where you play on repeat for 48 hours straight and not get tired of it. Awesome!
That's why africa is great , greeting from southeast asia

I might be bias but I LOVE how we play the guitar
music from the blood
A very intelligent brother. a great skill to have, Guitar. I come from Ghana and a family of musicians.
Greetings from Barranquilla. North of Colombia alive soukous ..
Greetings from Namibia
Congolese soukos gets me everytime. Love from Nigeria
Hmmmmmm i love the way he is picking! Effortlessly!
When I was a boy in the 70s I heard this style of guitar and loved it. I think it's a beautiful melody on guitar.
Listening to this makes me feel like I'm in heaven. Incredibly soulful music.
I know right,I thought blues took me to heaven but this takes me further
I have always loved this sound. Even when I was a big metal fan in the 80's! Great playing man!
I was introduced to Soukous when I saw Diblo Dibala in Central Park, Summer of ‘91. Musically, it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I have always loved Soukous ever since, and haven’t found any guitarist as amazing as Diblo.
Agree! Saw him (Diblo) with Aurelius Mabele and Loketo at Montreux in Atlanta in the summer of '89. Nothing compares.
Diblo is the most amazing guitarist I have ever encountered.
I cant believe myself I'm so blessed listening to this piece for 10 yrs since 2010! Is this Adamson alive?
I love this style of guitar. oh my god I can listen for days
Forget the soukous tutorial. We are here for the intro bit of the video.
Jude Mukundane thats it !
ahaha yeeessssss
Lol, me too, keeps coming back to it
The way he moves his head on this beat :-) :-) so great. Amazing music
HaHAHA so true
This music comes from the heart!
You need to put the full version of the song you were playing in the beginning
Nice blessing from El Salvador.
Chord tones are key for blending both the rhythm and lead so that they dance on the same stage singing off the same hymn sheet. Here is a great example of music making melody with one another - not just a mindless fumble. Love it.
Thank you! I love soukous and I loved learning more about the concepts and technique behind it.
i don't really know how to play the guitar, tho i'm in the process of learning in school, and for my assignment ive to write an essay on african guitar styles and im choosing congolese guitar style (soukous) and palm wine! just stumbled across this while doing some research, this is such a happy song!! :D
can you play now?
Hwung she better, damn near a decade 😂
this brother just played the best guitar ive ever heard then proceeds to say "its basic form". God is Great!
what he said about how you can learn a different cultures music, but it just wont sound the same, is soo true. Its just like a person who learns to speak a different language.
I love the confidence in your playing style.
Nice
Beautiful Intellectual Playing!
I have heard of Koffi Olomide before. He sang Selfie is an it!
Greetings from Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 I like it my brother
the sound is amazing !
I came across soukous about twenty five years back and have always liked how it gets along . I think its a dance hall style . Wondered why the sound has never been taken up in the West .
Thanks to the internet It's ✈️!
I could watch you play guitar whole day man!! LOL... Vibes, soul, spirit....BOOM!!
So nice. The definition of calming music.
it's beautiful.
Amazing!
wow!!!! I want to play some music listening to this
This gets me excited. I am from Barranquilla, with Cartagena background (Colombia)😍
I love the way you people break and organise the music os simple.
now that's the kind of teacher I need ..u play just the way I love
+jack beezle That's true. Actually you can learn western blues/rock solos because there they explain loads of theory which will make your life easier when you migrate to soukous.
i agree
im from ohio!! i’ve played all genres, this one is by far the MOST enjoyable to play
Love the way you are feeling it yourself too. Love it love it make more
ive been searching for this video for some time now brother ..... big love Joseph Otieno Adamson.... Love from South Africa
The words from 6:47 to 7: 42 are probably the most important words I've ever heard about music. Any kind of music.
So true!!.....there is technique...then there is soul!! Place the same instrument in the hands of virtuoso players from different parts of the world, and different things come out!! Each region, each player brings their own soul into the music...that something from inside them that cannot be replicated in a textbook or tutorial, or even practice.
Damiano i strongly agree
This is amazing! Real talent never disappoints
I'm slack jawed..and I've played 45 years...this is so cool positive and intricate
The DVD will be ready in Feb 2011, I am also recording a backing track to play along with plus you you cancreate your music with it. I hope this what everybody who want to learn about soukous is been waiting for HAPPY NEW YEAR

That introduction is no a joke. Is a good vibe

I love the little guitar slides in this genre. Sounds amazing. Never gets old even though it’s repetitive.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺✨👌🏼🙏🏻amazing guitarist this is the way soukous and seben done bravo

Verry good. I will like to play that electric guitar so nice. You doite so easy

Africa does things differently and very beautifully!

13 years since you posted your dvd to Australia for me . The years keep on rolling ! Stay well 🙂
I fell in love with soukous the first time I heard it.
Sweden is with You Always. Respectfully
every so often I come back to this video
as a Congolese, this is the music a grew up listening to sounds.
I have listened to Lokwa Kanza and he blew my mind. There is more to soukous or Congo music than meets the ear. His music is easy listening giving more prove than you people are naturally gifted musicians
Is there a full version of this solo, I love it, well played, you are a master I keep playing it again and again while I am working, like you said, its intoxicating, i made my American friends listen to it because they kept seeing me dancing in my chair and they also want to listen to a full version.
Well done Mr. Otieno, you are the best solo player I've ever seen.
Waooo, excelente 👍😃 viva el soukous, saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴❤️
No doubt, Joseph is a guitar genius. That intro music.... I just didn't want it to stop! LOL!
my black soul family is so blessed with riddim!
Green Greener relax fool
@Green Greener I am African, and I'm black and I'm proud.
I always come here for the Intro guitar
I watched this guy perform with the Earthquake band in Nairobi's Uhuru Park around 1982. He was a man ahead of the times, today's Kenyan artistes are not fit to shine his boots...
Chai...am in tears right now
Melodies so pleasant. Technique so silky.
super cours de guitare !!! et super musique !!!
Well explained in a short video, I would love to learn it. Great rhythm
I love this style of guitar picking, time to practice
Great stuff. Nice to see the components of this awesome music explained.👍
Sebeeenn.... Luweluwe..... Lol... I can dance 💃 this tune the whole day.. Best there's
2018 still vibing soukous music
@soundbeans
Zaiko Langa langa, Kanda bongoman, Nyboma, then he said the recent Koffi Olomide and Fally Ipupa
what the bass decides to do at :32 along with the guitar is ridiculous. This shit swings.
very ridiculous .... it swings very hard
You play it well, just as at home in DRC
Leobe Kayombo 👍❤❤
I love this piece

Nice music and good guitar playing. Kevin Durant in about 20 years

He really looks like Kevin Durant 😂😂😂
I am intoxicated, that's for sure, slowly digesting this. I will surely practice. Thanks a lot.
