Quote from: Cavalier Solitaire on September 11, 2019, 17:05some Maison Mere fans are crazy. So because at some point Ali Mbonda may have praised JB then it means he cant get help from Werrason. strangely enough,i found fans of the days of fights between fans and between musicians much much much much much more mature than the fans of the social media era and you'll see some super dumb logic pulled by someone and it goes 1,5k likes quick

Was it here I heard Mbonda was in transport business?
Quote from: shamala on September 11, 2019, 15:50Just a few queries on the same.. 1. Do the musicians invest otherwise? I know someone like Ficcare has something on the side2. How sustainable is it for a leader to support past and present musicians ? Why are they required to even support past musicians funeral?3. Do they have retirement plans? 4. In post fame area female dancers seem to do better,why? 1 yes some do,like ficarre who has several business on the side but most musicians prefer the show off lifestyle until they fall2 technically this happens only because band members receive zero copyright,so except the odd salary here and there plus the song selling which anyways ends quite fast with family queuing up at your house when they heard you received 10K for a song and the combination of show off and trying to build a house3 retirement plans do not really exist only exists the option of running away in europe and now doing music just for fun4 as for female dancers its obvious,dancers who have slept with their leaders and who were the leaders favorites receive support until today even if some left 15 years ago,and most manage to find a husband who is not in the process of having a stable life which is why they dont look like struggleing as much as men

I heard him talk about going to see Vieux Verckys so that would organise for him to be getting royalty money from SACEM or sth of that sort for the songs that were credited to him in Maison Mere. Do Congolese musicians (not leaders) regularly get that royalty monies if so is it significant enough for someone to survive on it?
