African Soukous Guitar - Amour Fou (Crazy Love) - Kanda Bongo Man, Diblo Dibala, Pf. by Don Keller

Me playing one of my favorite soukous songs from Kanda Bongo Man, Diblo Dibala and Rigo "Ringo" Star. Song is Amour Fou from the album Amour Fou (1988). I love 80's soukous. Bands used real trap drums back then. What a concept!! I put my own soukous lines from 6:00min on. [Performed on 1-4-10.]

Amazing. I wish I could learn how to play, any ideas on where to obtain some soukous guitar lessons,,,,live in east coast of US

[donkellermedia]

@mswamike Yeah, search for "Soukous Guitar Technique" on Amazon's UK site. It should be a DVD. Maybe search on eBay as well. Thanks!

[johnbeddoe]

awesome stuff mate! Are you using a backing track? If so, did you make it or are these commercially available? I'm looking for soukous tracks to jam with

[donkellermedia]

@johnbeddoe I program most of the drums in the videos you see. I wrote a description for the other comment you wrote on the Zaiko song. Some samples do exist, but I don't really know about downloading them. What program do you use to record music? I only have Logic and Garageband. Not saying they are the best, but I am unfamiliar with the loops that come with other programs.

[johnbeddoe]

@donkellermedia . yeah like yourself- logic/garageband.Soukous doesnt seem to get a mention i their world pack! Oh well...thanks for your guitar inspiration, time to write some beats!

[donkellermedia]

@johnbeddoe If you have the Jam Packs for Logic, try Jamaican Egret Drumset loops and Greek Sirtos Doumbek 12 (a loop). They can get you started. If you don't have the Jam Packs, that is fine. It is not worth buying for just a couple drum loops.

"Amour fou" ("Crazy love") de Kanda Bongo Man. Álbum: "Amour fou" ("Crazy love"). Este disco fue editado varias veces. La primera edición en LP fue en 1984. Tres años más tarde, en 1987, volvió a editarse en LP. En 1988, en CD. En 1991, en LP, en cinta de cassette y en CD. Seguramente ya fue editado en cassette en los años 80. ¡Tremendo temazo! ¡Excelente interpretación! ¡Me encanta esta versión instrumental! 100% pure African Soukous Guitar! Democratic Republic of the Congo!

Really beautiful! I'm a music teacher from the U.S. and would love to share this song with my students. Can't play guitar like this though.... :) Does anyone know the lyrics? Original language and English translation would be wonderful.

@mswamike You could learn soukous guitar through a mr. Joseph Otieno Adamson, think he's put togther some dvd's that could help. Check him out on Youtube and compare his style.
