Remember the gospel hits that made crazy of everyone back in the time of my primary school were majorly sounds in English, Lingala and instrumental. Talk of the hits that transformed many hearts back to GOD,Makoma were a great story to discuss, they become an inspiration for young people.
Their
music was full of love, passion, enthusiasm, energy and desire. The
talents of these African group members have been lost for 6 years, and
many of us thought that Makoma had finally come to an end! Just like it is, every beginning has its own end. But no, that was a wrong feeling and perception, the great African gospel group is not yet over, in fact, they are back with a big comeback.
Their brand new album titled Evolution was officially released on 31st January 2012 in London. Evolution is the 4th professional album by Makoma. They named the album evolution in away
to open everyone’s eyes and ears to welcome the newly rebranded,
restyled, refashioned and modern Makoma, back to hit Africa with the
Gospel.
On their comeback, Makoma signed a Record deal for the next 5 album / 10 years with BC3 Media which is owned by Philipp Bauss.
On Evolution album, Makoma offer the world an alternative to the “classic” gospel music, their approach is open to the influences of POP, RNB, SOUL and DANCE, the album was produced by an amazing international record producer ‘Andre Straesser’.
Makoma have other albums like King of Kings of 2002, and No Jesus No life of 2005. In 2002, Makoma won the Kora awards ‘Best African Group’ title and in 2005, they won the South Pacific Awards ‘Best Group’ title.
“Jesus for Life” was their first album, it was released in 1999.
Makoma is an award winning Congolese Christian pop RnB, dance music group that largely sing in English and Lingala. Lingala is the local language spoken back in Kinshasa of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, formerly known as Zaire), their motherland. Makoma was founded in 1993, by Tutala Makoma. They started performing in 1995 under the group called ‘Nouveau Testament’.
They moved Holland in 1997 and changed their name to Makoma. Nayoki Sango was one of the hottest songs then.
Makoma are planning 5 tours for the next 2 years in more than 30 countries, in West Africa starting in Ivory Coast and end in Angola, East Africa starting from Kenya and end in Madagascar, Europe, USA/Canada and Australia/South Pacific.
