This is the video I was talking about with you, where, unlike other artists, Manuaku is using his fingers to play the solo:



You can even see him strum the rumba 6ths with his fingers, kind of funny to see how loose his method is. It seems you can solve things differently from the usual way, too.

Excellent work, must have been easier for them to do this especially if trying to play faster.

Well I think that most of Congolese guitar players even though is easier to play with thumb and fingers for solo licks, tent to use the plectrum because they want to play in the most difficult way possible so they can be able to manage the guitar in every way
