Charly Nelle

 Charly Nelle began his musical career in the early 80's. He released his first album 'Ndol'am nu' in 1982. Between 1982 and 1996 followed five more records. He scored his biggest hit with the song 'La femme'. A few years ago Charly Nelle made even a new video-clip for 'La femme', in an attempt to revive this classic.


After the CD 'Na si dolone ndolo' followed an artistic silence of more then ten years until 2008. In that year he came back with a new album arranged by Conti Bilong, entitled 'Sacramento'. It is a varied album in which Makossa is interspersed with Caribbean Zouk, Salsa and Congolese Rumba inspired tunes. Occasionally even a hint of Jazz can be heard.

After this album another period of silence followed only interrupted by the CD single 'Ingratitude' in 2012. But in 2017 Charly Nelle celebrates the 35th anniversary of his musical career and is back on stage - including a tour in the US - and fresh new songs like 'La femme d'autrui' , 'Massoma' and 'Equilibre'.
