You remember back in the days of Kanda Bongo man, Chakachaka and so many other pioneers of soukous style. Kanda Bongo man took it to another level at that time, with his black hut and a well dressed man, dancing like a really African dancing star. He made himself really big across the region, everybody knew who Kanda Bongo man was.

Bolingo Music is a mix of Lingala traditions and that of modern styles and fashion, a bolingo star is very important to be seen with a real elegant style by dressing up suits or designer clothes, at the same time the back singers most of the time dressed up in uniforms, it makes them to be viewed like a functional team. Women dancers have to be particular sexy but not too much sexy to break the traditional rules. The sexiness comes from the shaking of their asses and making new moves to move the crowd which they are entertaining.

Usually, the bands contain so many members due to the Bolingo Music Game, they always need 6 to 12 dancers, men and women plus the star himself, plus they must always consider of instruments player like guitarists and drummers, pianists because of performing live. One thing of Bolingo music is that you can perform with DJs or with electronics players, everything have to played live and not recorded like Bongo Flava, because it makes the style more interesting!

It is estimated to be around 300 million fans of Bolingo Music Worldwide, the number is so big due to the language used to sing the music, French and Lingala but most of the time they use French, with African French spoken language, it is kind of different from the normal French language.

From Congo(Zaire) to Central Africa, West Africa and North Africa, most of these countries speak more French, of course without forgetting France, the country its self!

There are more than 5 million African living in France today, and they have been there since long time! So that makes France a potential country for Bolingo Music style, so many concerts happening there every time because some of the Bolingo stars live in France.

In this category, we are going to look more deeper than ever before how Bolingo Music generated a lot hipe across the continent, we are going to see more artists from all over Africa, with a somehow same style of Bolingo Music or a little bit different!
