the worst problem along with the decline of the genre is that now we have majority of fans who just want our artists to follow any trend to exist on the african map,if its amapiano doing bits bin rumba and sebene given them amapiano,if its mopacho give them,if its even one day foreign artists making millions of views with a song just replicating animal sounds,bin rumba and generique do that
there is a wrong perception that to be competitive we have to be like others,if anything those we are competing again inspired themselves from us to create their beats,so if we are sxxxing in our pants against people who copied us instead of upping our game in what we are naturally strong at there is a problem
for example asiatic top countries to go from where they were and be light years ahead of the whole africa they mixed their tradition and culture of hardwork with the western technology and then developped their own way,never in the opposite you'll see european or american trying now where they are to try to copy japanese or chinese or qatari because they are "the hype of the moment"
the problem is that instrumentists and atalakus are not given the right context to up their creativity like in the past and that singers are more and more interested about just securing the bag so produce 30 album songs  5 10k minimum each song quality or not as long as the mediatic machine is well paid to build noise about it(or not) lets go

Perfectly perfectly said, It can’t be said anyway better than this, I wish this message can get to them……………there once was a time when Awilo was the most listened musician in South Africa imagine with all the talented artists they had Congo was untouchable, Nigeria copied Congo and they are not shaking, They run Africa now, Amapiano came and they diluted it now even South Africa the owners of the genre are marveling at them(look ar Asake the guy is growing big everyday)
