85: Nyboma // Doublé doublé

Doublé doublé Nyboma 1981, Maikano

One of my local record shops has a bin of African LPs labelled “Our supplier in Benin,” which is a wonderfully specific attribution. I would love to have a Man in Belize, a Backer in Brunei. (I’d even take a Woman in Longueuil.) The owner was contacted by a record store clerk who offered an interesting proposal: the Montreal shop would send along its common-as-dirt western pop records (your Eltons, your Streisands, your James Taylors), and their Beninese counterpart would send their own equivalent local basics. A win-win, especially for slavering Afro-pop simps like myself, who get trembly at the very sight of sleeves with school picture day-quality photos of people in killer leisure suits over bright solid-coloured backgrounds with a load of text in a foreign language.

Nyboma is one of the bigger soukous stars in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a songwriter and tenor singer who has been performing for over half a century. Unlike a few of the African singers in my collection, he’s easy to find info on, and even a few lyrics—in fact, 1981’s “‘Doublé doublé’” is enough of a classic that there’s a video from this decade with over 6.4 million views of cats dancing to it at a wedding like it’s “The Electric Slide”:

When I reviewed an Empire Bakuba record a few months back, the group led by Nyboma’s frequent collaborator Pepe Kalle (that’s him introing the video above), I wrote a summary of the soukous genre for the unfamiliar that I’ll recycle here:

“A Congolese form, marked by giddy rhythms and sugarcane guitar improvisation, usually led by a charismatic vocalist who doubles as a hype man. With roots in American R&B and Cuban rumba, it’s a kind of pan-Black form of music—and yet, the guitar style is also faintly reminiscent of bluegrass, a genre whose Black roots are a bit further removed.”

Nyboma’s tenor is high enough it could easily be taken as a woman’s voice and he has a smoother touch in general than Kalle does—he’s not calling out dance moves or doing crowd work. He’s cut from the same angelic stuff as that super-clean soukous guitar tone, the part of “‘Doublé doublé’” that would give a no-dancing township pause despite the obviously [dogwhistle adjective] rhythms. The rumba roots show through pretty strongly in Nyboma’s music, too, which verges on calypso at times. The highlight of the LP is “Papy Sodolo,” a floating down the river sort of number with a languid guitar lead that makes me think of Les Paul wearing water wings.

katsuki bakugo ;

KATSUKI // from the widow you seen he was sitting all alone outside confused to why he wasn't inside enjoying himself, you furrowed your eyebrows placing down your cup , “hey, i’ll be right back!.” you yelled over the music as your friends nodded their heads going back to their convos, walking over towards the sliding door to go outside. you slid open the door, then closed it walking towards him, "hey bakubae." you teased with a smile seeing him look up to see who it is, scoffing, looking away. "tch, told you to stop calling me that." you chuckled, sitting beside him bumping your shoulder with his, "you like it though~." katsuki groaned turning his body away but he didn't say anything. it was quiet now.

you raised a brow looking at him, he looked..flustered? "hey..you okay kat?." your voice..that soft tone. he groaned once more nodding his head, "i'm fine you idiot." you didn't buy it. "then whyre you out here all alone? are you not enjoying the party?." he quickly turned to you hearing that small disappointment tone in your voice shaking his head, "no—! I do like it, it's just..ugh!." he growled due to frustration, now you were really confused. he was acting weird, really weird. usually he would be more shouty and loud but in this case he was quiet?. "if you don't i’ll understand. you don’t have to force yourself to like it katsuki." you slightly chuckled but again he shook his head, "you damn idiot I just said i like the damn party..it's just something else." he mumbled that last part, you raised a brow,

"what is it?." why was this so hard? he's usually so confident when it came to his words but now..he was stuck. why were these feelings so damn confusing?. you could tell he was struggling by how his face was turning slightly red, furrowing your eyebrows. "kat, you don't have to tell me if you're not com-!." — "I do! just..fuck why is this so damn hard!." he snarled clenching his fists together, the more he was thinking about it the more it made him mad, it was either now or later..for months he’s been wanting to confess to you but never had enough balls to do so. you made him nervous, believe it or not you did, your brown eyes, your skin, your personality everything about you made him nervous. ever since you came from america he’s always had an eye on you, they way you would fight, your strategies, they way you talk..he even went to his mom about it!.

..he hates to admit the old hag has a wise point. “if you don’t confess now someone else from your class might take that chance away from you katsuki, just follow your heart and do what’s right.” she was right, her words echoed through his head like an annoying car alarm going off. his hands clenched into fists, he should take this chance before its too late. ugh.

"fuck it." he snarled, "wha- hmph!." your eyes were widened feeling his lips against yours, you were so shocked that you didn’t get a chance to think properly. In an instant katsuki pulled back, seeing your reaction, he thought he made a stupid mistake going to apologize but when you realized what happened, you grabbed ahold of his shirt kissing him back, his eyes went wide but they closed groaning from the rough pull instantly kissing you back. your lips were so soft and gentle, he placed a hand ontop of your cheek tilting his head to deepen it. from inside, kirishima was wondering where you went and why kaminari and the rest were by the window, furrowing his eyebrows, “hey guys what’s goin-!” he yelped feeling mina grab him by his shirt pulling him towards their level. he was confused but when mina turned his head to look outside his eyes widened, “I knew they liked each other!.” she squealed as kaminari fake sniffled, “our little bakubro is growing up.” he wiped a fake tear as the rest agreed, “who knew bakugo would pull a girl.” sero added with a small chuckle, out of all people they didn’t think you would the one he likes. I mean they knew he had a crush on someone in the class but they didn’t think it was you!.

what seemed like forever, you hummed in between his mouth before pulling back, what you didn’t expect katsuki groaned chasing after your lips again secretly liking the way they feel chuckling, “kat..” you mumbled leaning back in to only give him a peck, with a grin on your face. “Is this your way of confessing?.” you questioned trailing your hand on the back of his neck feeling him pinch you on your waist with a small grin feeling a hard glare at him. “and what if it is.” he mumbled, shaking your head giving him one last peck on the cheek before getting up, “then if it is, yes. I’ll be your girlfriend.” — “bakubae~.” you giggled hearing him groan,

“thought I told you to stop callin me that!.”

“at least it has meaning now!.”

I didn’t know how to end this shit 🤚🏼

"..for those curious, bakuba is a term often used in xhosa language. It is a name for a utopia in old myth, and now used to call something fantastical: many have said to me

Kude e-Bakuba, akuyiwanga mntu. 'bakuba is so far, no one ever reached it.' to which I have always replied;

Ndiza kuba ngowokuqala.

I will be the first.'

26: Empire Bakuba // Empire Bakuba [1986]

Empire Bakuba [AKA Obosini Kisomele] Empire Bakuba 1986, Syllart

Every few years some branch of ‘world music’ sweeps through the American and European charts. Today, reggaeton/Latin trap is probably the trendiest; in the 1980s it was a bramble of interrelated African dance music genres like Afrobeat, highlife, jit, and soukous. Soukous is a Congolese form, marked by giddy rhythms and sugarcane guitar improvisation, usually led by a charismatic vocalist who doubles as a hype man. With roots in American R&B and Cuban rumba, it’s a kind of pan-Black form of music—and yet, the guitar style is also faintly reminiscent of bluegrass. So, of course, it’s easy to see why white people, most notably Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, and David Byrne, went nuts for it.

I have a handful of mid-‘80s soukous LPs, mostly French pressings on account of it being a craze there at the time. It’s always exciting sliding a record out of the sleeve and seeing the huge rings—soukous LPs were meant to soundtrack lengthy dance parties and the tracks, usually two per side, average from 8 to 14 minutes each. Empire Bakuba were a locally beloved band with a considerable discography, including a few self-titled releases; this one, which I’ve also seen referred to as Obisini Kisomele after its opening track, is from near the height of their popularity in 1986. It’s endlessly listenable, like most of what I��ve heard by them. They understood their job to be making people move, found a sound that irresistibly did so, and stuck to it.

There’s something about their music that feels like someone has slipped a very, very long finger into my ear so they can rub on my brain’s pleasure centres. After each side, I almost feel sore from all the direct stimulation—but then I stagger over, give it a flip, and check in for twenty minutes’ more bliss.
