Thank you!!!! I've been obsessed with the soukous guitar style for years. My introduction to it was Paul Simon's Rythm of The Saints album (check out the counter point playing on the song "Proof" by guitarists Georges Seba and Martin Atangana). This video has really shed some light. Thanks again

[KGWAMASI50]

[goldenhelix]

nice job dude. i've been looking all over for anything that will give insight into the playing of john chibadura and this is definitely the closest i have found. certainly not exactly the same, but it gives me enough to work with! thanks

[caboverdecreole]

Nice man. I love it.

[Djibinho]

muito bem !!

[daadi7]

Damn. Man that is great. I wish i can play like you. Can you please play some madilu system songs? Thx

You are the coolest, man! Thanks for spreading the warm soukous vibe.

[pmays10]

uah..brabu!

[elekibuumu]

Sounds great ! i'm trying to learn this part, but it's quite hard to hear the notes distinctively because of the huge delay effect (I hear somme notes twice and don't know if they're actually "played")

[mebattin]

please please post some guitar tabs

[mebattin]

Ok. my vision is not that good . . . so please post

the guitar tab and spread the word . . .

many thanx

[youngergunner09]

[jakakwaro]

One good thing is that you know what you are doing.

[DRZOBHA]

tabs please...nice stuff

[jakakwaro]

this is great

[Yoruboy]

I always find it easier to not use the pick when playing this style. This is awesome though.

[dreamsatsea]

These are the joyous African melodies that are a part of my soul. I miss home and can't wait to go back for the hols.

[smsuya75]

love it...its incredible!!!

[bucaneromax1]

that ´s great, but it´s too fast - a beginner can´t follow. I think many people would wish a slow tutorial!

[epiphone112689]

Could you please tab some of this out so we can learn it please?

I love these videos i love the music more thank you so much!!!

[bafana8803]

give credit where credit is due this is not soukous its root swahili music and all of les wanyika's songs are in swahili

[saleta]

zaiko nkolo mboka!!!

[ICThr3e]

[kensa5]

One of my favorite songs, Just too beautiful.

[bellemskey]

Same with me Kensa5... its one of my favourite songs of all time...

[Coloflow]

this song is incredibly beautiful, it's amazing how many great songs there are out there that you can nearly spend your whole life not even knowing about

[vtired]

Dear Alkisaka,

Any book with this method please? I want to buy one. I do play classical guitar pieces but would like to learn play sina makosa and Rosa from east africa.

[hbutete]

Hi, Bro I loved the sina makosa..Have you any soukous lesson dvds, I will buy them off you.Well done..I used to play it in another way now I can play it in your way. thanks

[wada78]

You are the greatest African on youtube period!! Could you post the chords or tabs please ! I'm not too good but I'll learn it step by step ! Bless U!

[fyahpriest]

Where can I learn this style....The video is a bit too fast for me to pick up the fingering and my ear is not yet able to replicate it.

[fyahpriest]

My heart is yearning to play this.I am new to guitar and soukous but I hear Africa calling from within me. Beautiful guitar playing ...keep it up

[jkafproductions]

Hello, i'm from Africa and I own a recording Studio in New York.

Do you give private lessons? if so where?

In case you don't give pv lessons how can I get in instructional dvd from you. I'm from Africa an will B honnered to learn from you.

[oganga111]

its amazing

[omutibo]

Wherever this guy comes from, he really made my day. There is a fishy group posted here on you-tube who have done remixes of Les wanyika songs. They got a lashing from me and they should watch and listen to this for them to know what I mean. If i didnt know Les wanyika like the back of my right hand, i would swear he was a member of that Ban. Go brother!!!!!!

[mumatura]

You are great,please please where can I get a dvd or the music chords to play these songs,I have just started learning to play guitar and I am determined to play these songs by end year.

[thuraku]

i keep going back to this clip every so often. my question is:are you from africa or did you happen to play for the les wanyika?

your instruction is excellent!

[coatserk]

what tuning do you use?

[alkisaka]

On this song I use regular tuning..

EADGBE..

On My Demo#3 I demonstrate an alternative tuning.

[hakanozelguitarist]

thankyou so much for your vids. i came to them through no more than passing curiosity and am now getting hooked on Soukous!

[Makbelly]

Wicked! Man thanks for this. I've heard mbaraka mwinshehe was the wickedest rhythm guitarist of the time. You think you can post something with some of his tunes ?

[bellemskey]

Wow!!! My God this is fantastic!!! Who is this playing? Which bands have you played for? I love this!!!

[jman2100110]

Dear Alkisaka,

Your music is great, I am a life long fan of African music and guitar. I have three basic questions (1) Are there instructional DVD's for learning Soukous (2) What are some good music albums to listen to to hear this music and (3) What effects do you use to get your tone?

Thank you,

James

[soukous70]

Wow,fun to see that classic guitar piece broken down like that!

[SteffStradi]

Very rare vid on this kind of music. Thanks a lot for sharing your talent.

[banule]

That is amazing! Good job!

[mistermizu]

Love it, Alkisaka! Thanks man. I for one will be trying to master it. The more people who can play this little gem, the happier the world will be.

[tabber87]

That was great! Very helpful. Thanks very much!
