I'm only asking because I saw on Twitter lol shout out to @Congo-243 who's regularly on twitter haha. I saw someone tweet saying Awilo's music isn't that good compared to the rest and it's non congolese people that enjoy his music, with a majority of people agreeing, so what's everyone's thoughts?

It's mostly true. Awilo did not play classic congolese music.

When Awilo was at his peak in the mid-late 90's/early 2000, people in Kin knew about him but his music was not played like that.

He never had at home the HUGE success he had in West Africa.

He is the real reason why Congolese people music is respected in West Africa but like BM since he doesn't make traditional music for Congolese people he is not like Werra, JB, Koffi and the others, the fact is that if we want Congolese music to be saved more artist should follow the Awilo, BM, Fally, Innoss and Koffi route to try to get to international audiences instead of just making music for Kin, every Congolese artist who stepped out of the Congolese audience to get international without having solid success in Kin have always been ignored (Awilo, Dr. Sakis, BM, Remmy Ongala) or hated (Innoss) the fact that Koffi and Fally can get away with this is because they first cemented their success especially Koffi in Kin with classics before trying to go international.

Congolese people didn't take Awilo serious, because after his first album (which had some buzz in the Congolese community, because of Awilo just having left Nouvelle Generation to start his solo career and the extrat in the VHS-version which had the furious Wemba attacking Stino and other musicians of Viva which led to the creation of La Nouvelle Generation) he was just making remix songs of Kids song and his texts being simple (Coupe Bibamba, Mombima ya Maman, a part of Abidjan Debout, Mwana Maman, etc.), while Congolese people want love songs with poetry and songs about life. How can you take a man like that serious? It's like a guy, doing a remix of the head-shoulders-kneens-toes song and all foreign people who don't understand it, going wild about it. But atleast it brough Awilo to many continents like Kanda Bongo Man & Aurlus Mabele and being the only artist in Nigeria to fill the National Stadium of Lagos, 3 days in a row. Awilo wanted to change his music by making also proper rumba-songs when recording Mondongo, but it was to late, because nobody in the Congolese community was taking him seriously.
