This is the typical Congolese soukous music and his style is typical sebene style of solo guitar, but he is not a typical Congolese guitarist. He is one of the best, not typical. The variety of melodies in one composition is huge, and the way he bridges from one melody to the next is very unusual and unique. He looks very young too. He will be the best in future.

This gentleman's fluid Congolese guitar skills are right up there with the likes of his compatriots Flamme Kappaya and Olivier Tchimanka. The melodies do bring to mind birdsong as is heard echoing through the canopy of tropical rain forests at dawn. Truly beautiful music that transcends culture and geography.

Most metal guitars make excellent jazz/clean guitars as well. With the action being so low and fret work usually precisely fashioned it makes for a fast playing , good handling instrument Even with over wound gain heavy pickups you just turn the volume potentiometer down a bit until the growl is gone and it cleans up into beautiful creaminess. “Orchestra baobab “is a good example of other similar style like this. They are from Senegal 🇸🇳
