Soukous is the key to a good and happy life!

this brother just played the best guitar ive ever heard then proceeds to say "its basic form". God is Great!

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!

les guitares congolaises sont les meilleures du monde

Love Soukous music love Zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼makes me move.

"I have been playing guitar on and off....for a while" I wish there was a love button.

So proud to be congolese when i hear this. Thank god for for my parents who always played kofi, papa wemba, pepe kale ❤️❤️🇨🇩🇨🇩

music from the blood

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.

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.

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.

I love the little guitar slides in this genre. Sounds amazing. Never gets old even though it’s repetitive.

Hmmmmmm i love the way he is picking! Effortlessly!

I cant believe myself I'm so blessed listening to this piece for 10 yrs since 2010! Is this Adamson alive?

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.

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.

A very intelligent brother. a great skill to have, Guitar. I come from Ghana and a family of musicians.

I have always loved this sound. Even when I was a big metal fan in the 80's! Great playing man!

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. 😊

This music comes from the heart!

This the best video ever

I could watch you play guitar whole day man!! LOL... Vibes, soul, spirit....BOOM!!

Thank you! I love soukous and I loved learning more about the concepts and technique behind it.

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.

I have heard of Koffi Olomide before. He sang Selfie is an 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

@ 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!

Sweden is with You Always. Respectfully

Amazing!

This great guy sang 'kutangatanga' many years back. Always wondered where he went....I'm happy to see this

as a Congolese, this is the music a grew up listening to sounds.

This is amazing! Real talent never disappoints

every so often I come back to this video

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.

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.

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

I fell in love with soukous the first time I heard it.

Melodies so pleasant. Technique so silky.

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?

Chai...am in tears right now

No doubt, Joseph is a guitar genius. That intro music.... I just didn't want it to stop! LOL!

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

super cours de guitare !!! et super musique !!!

Combined, beautiful rhythms that cause a dizzying syncopation when combined.

You play it well, just as at home in DRC
