Verbe et poéticité dans l'oeuvre musicale de Félix Wazekwa

Abstract

Resume L'etude analyse les chansons sorties de 1994 a 1998 par Felix Wazekwa. Cet artiste de la musique congolaise (Kinshasa) moderne a pris gout a la musique a force de composer des textes des chansons des grandes vedettes. Il se decida a se lancer dans la carriere musicale avec la sortie en 1994 de son premier album ";Tetagramme";. En vertu du principe de la prestance du texte, plusieurs interpretations sont possibles. Toutefois, quel que soit le lyrisme de l'artiste, son oeuvre ne trouve son explication que dans la societe ou il vit. Par la resurgence des sentences qui fait son oeuvre musicale, cet artiste pose la problematique de l'art musical qui ne doit pas se limiter au niveau de la simple orchestration et de la melodie. L'artiste musicien que Feli Akwala definit comme ";le photographe de la societe"; est un homme investi d'une noble mission: divertir et eduquer d'une facon plaisante. Mais bien que les messages que transmet le musicien sont accessibles a tout le monde, tres peu les percoivent et les interiorisent. Mots-Cles: Felix Wazekwa; musique congolaise Summary The survey analyzes from Felix Wazekwa's songs from 1994 to 1998. This musician of the modern Congo (Kinshasa), was inspired by the music and the texts of the songs of the big stars. He decided to get involved in a musical career with the appearance in 1994 of his first ";Tetagramme album."; Guided by the principle of the importance of the text, several interpretations are possible. However, whatever will be the artist's lyricism, his work doesn't find its explanation outside the society wherein it is rooted. By the resurgence of the sentences found in his musical opus, this artist puts the theme of the musical art that does not limit itself to the level of simple orchestration and of melody. The musician-artist whom Feli Akwala defines as ";the photographer of the society";, is a man invested with a noble mission: to entertain and to educate in a pleasing way. But although the message which the musician transmits is accessible to everybody, very few discern and internalize it. (Annales Aequatoria: 2002 23: 429-441)
