Archos,
Yeah it has been a long time indeed.
I do follow the forum (at least once week) but don't comment as TBH there isn't much newsworthy in Congolese music!
Yes we get the occasional Se Na Se but on the whole Congolese music has declined, we have 4th Gen veterans resting on their laurels and 5th Gen led by someone obsessed with taking selfies with LA former-have-beens while the other proclaimed himself to be "imperator" while producing monotony after monotony.
As for JB...I can either lose my mind and curse him every day like our friend EMO or I can relax listening to his classics while every birthday I make a wish for BDM/Chemin de Fer to be released...Guess which option I chose!?
