Koffi Olomide & Papa Wemba Ndombolo 3D IMAGERY

Koffi Olomide is one of the most talented African singers, producers and composers of the 1990s. He has dominated music charts across the continent and abroad with a combination of his deep baritone voice, which barely caresses the microphone, sophisticated arrangements blending old school rumba and smooth keyboard melodies as well as a searing guitar climax. His compositions are classy and appeal to a wide spectrum of fans worldwide. His songs delve deep into a wide variety of topics including love, politics, technology and even religion. In each song he discusses his feelings about such diverse topics while expressing confused feelings about mythical beasts and dream like fantasies. Names of famous people like Bill Gates, Silvio Berlusconi, Saddam Hussein and even George Weah are mentioned. Indeed he himself said you have to understand the words to fully appreciate his songs. Koffi also has a keen sense of fashion and an extensive wardrobe to match his personality.

While on tour Koffi is accompanied by his 18-piece band, Quartier Latin, which consists of a bevy of talented musicians and his dancers fondly referred to as the Koffiettes. He has wowed fans in Africa, Europe and North America.

All his success has not been without a downside. He has found himself at odds with the powers that be in Congo. Certain lyrics in his album La Loi were interpreted as a veiled criticism of the Kabila regime.

Koffi commenced his musical career as a songwriter. In the late 1970s he joined Papa Wemba's band Viva La Musica. Here he learned his vocal and stage techniques. He launched his solo career in the mid-'80s and has turned out to be one of the biggest success stories in African music.
