The drama around socoda will never stop. If it was in Europe they would arrest Nyoka Longo a long time ago for stealing 2,4 millions dollars and blacklist/boycott all his music, because to things he do. However, I dont believe that Adricha would be fair if he was in Nyoka Longo's place as head of Socoda. I think that he would be worser.
It's really sad to hear that Manda Chante and Sam Tshintu get more money from Socoda than Madilu and Tabu Ley while nobody plays Manda Chante's music nor that of Sam Tshintu at the same time every party plays atleast one song of Madilu (If it's not Si je savais ca, its always just un peu d'amour or magalie and ya jean) and Tabu Ley is still often played on the radio, especially on sunday. I really lost the respect I had for Sam Tshintu. Still dont get it why Manda is alot respected in the music-world, he doesn't do anything just making interviews and doing matolo.
What made Mustapha get into issues he had the last years ? Because when he came in Paris all girls were running behind him and according to former musicians of QL, he first didnt used to drink or smoke.
It was the most sold concert VHS after JB Mpiana's Stade des Martyrs for the first half of 2000 until Koffi's VHS of Bercy came out in the summer. But it still not on youtube. It makes me cry
It explains why Koffi kept inviting Djudjuchet when recording Noblesse Oblige and V12 and being extremely after recruiting Champion, saying loud that he has not to pay Djudjuchet anymore to participate to his albums.
Looks like preparations and recording of Magie left special memories on all singers that participate, almost all singers (Willy des Boules, Suzuki 16, Samilo, late Babia and Eric Tutsi) say in interviews that they either gave their best on that album or reachest their best level.
I wonder what Fally-fans will say next about JB Mpiana when he's finished with his upcoming West Africa tour (Ivory Coast, Niger, Togo, Benin, Mali, Burkina Faso & Guinee) after claiming years long that his succes is "local"
Marie Paul paying tribute to late Tabu Ley Rochereau by singing Moussa, Assambalela & Mokatani ya Wendo and also Pepe Kalle by singing the chorus of Nazoki
yeah, alain amobe mevegue. If he was there he would maybe also add some interestings facts. Really sad how he died. One of the many reasons why alot people dont like to go back to village or get in touch with family living over there.
Whats going on in Cameroon > I saw Claudy Siar paying tribute on his facebook and this interview to a Cameroonian journalist that got killed. Looks like many are getting killed there the last years.
JB Mpiana is lucky that this is French channel, because towards the end he sung an extract of Raissoner and then claimed that it was a song to expose the problems Congolese people have in Eastern Congo, which is not true. He could have used another way to inform the media about the problems of Eastern Congo. Because now Ken Mpiana and co can use it against him
So Claudy Siar also works at France24 since the death of the journalist from Cameroun (I forgot his name) or did he already work there ? That Cameroonian journalist really left a void, he knew a lot from Congolese music/culture and Africa.
