The musician Dinastar is in the final turn in the creation of his single "Matongi" (in English, denigration or slander). Thus, he multiplies activities to achieve his goal. Such is the case with his numerous trips between his stronghold of Mulhouse and the city of Paris in France. As an example, he stayed in the French capital for almost a week starting on April 26, 2024, locked up in a studio in Bobigny, for a recording session of the voice, and certain instruments (guitar, drums, percussion).

On this matter, upon returning to Mulhouse, he announced: "My next trip to Paris will be to record the definitive voice and proceed to the mixing of the title."

Furthermore, as part of the promotion of his new opus, the father of Afro soul has shared a snippet on the networks (Facebook, Tik Tok, Instagram), he specifies himself, to just announce the colors. It is a guide vocal and an unmixed sound. A preview of what he will offer to music lovers in a finished work that will soon be available. In the opinion of those who have tasted it, especially his many fans, it is a work of quality that will last a long time, provided that good promotion is assured.

"Matongi" denounces the anti-values

Regarding the release date of this single, he prefers to create suspense by stating: "I don’t set the date. I will announce the date only when everything is ready. I opt to work differently..."

Speaking of the producer, he announces: "It's Dinastar Shango Production (DS PROD for short). It's my independent label. My label is affiliated with the Society of Phonogram Producers in France (SPPF).

As for the title "Matongi," he exclaims: "Well, it's simply the observation of this slowing society that has inspired me a lot. Just look around us (in family relations, friendships...) to realize the extent of the spread of false news, just to harm others, even one’s brother, one’s friend. And, he adds, this anti-value seems to become a value in Congolese society, in particular. And that's very regrettable.

The artist, he maintains, is the painter of society. Like Franco Luambo Makiadi who denounced the misdeeds of the kind, I too use my works to educate. Moreover, this is not my first attempt in this area. I have composed several other songs with evocative, provocative titles, I meant to say, like "Bolingo" (Love), "Limbisa ngai" (Forgive Me). And what about "Congo Paradis" which extols the riches of my country. I am a complete musician: singer, writer, composer, and performer.
