JB Mpiana could have easily released Chemin de Fer in 2005 after Anti-Terro, if he didn't follow the advice of late Pathy Moleso and co to still wait to have those visa issues solved to recorded it in Europe.
I wonder if Ketsia Timbo received a copy from the song after a few years, to play it in private. Because the preparation of the Chemin de Fer dates from 2001/02 and most already having bought songs in 2002, few of them already passed away. Who would like to wait for so long to hear her/his song.
What happens if a donor bought a song, but the album was delayed ? Are they able to get their money back or get something else ?
some give them a copy of the pre-version, in the case if it takes to long. Its in rare occasions that they ask money back, because the songs mostly ends up to getting released anyway (unless if its a small or upcoming artist). Some bandleaders re-sell the song. I remember Blaise Manzambi who's a pastor nowadys saying that he had a song on Fula Ngenge and said to Wemba that he had to remove his name, because of becoming a brother a christ after almost getting arrested for selling cocaine in Italy and Wemba clearly saying that he wont get his money back and re-selling the same song to somebody else.

I wonder if Norbat de Paris was an associate of Modogo Franco Ferre. Papa Wemba was the one who helped get sapeurs to be singers. So yes indeed, Papa Wemba would be happy if he was alive. BTW, Gloria Bulukutu sang in this song for those who don't know.
Who is Gloria Bulukutu?
Singer from Viva la Musica. He is to sing with Papa Wemba
Brazza is more stable but its not like the way Angola used to be a few years ago. Otherwise there would have be a mass-migration from people of Kinshasa to Brazzaville like the way many left Congo to live in Luanda. You already alot people from DRC but there would be many many more if that was the case. Like the way people of both Brazzaville & Kinshasa migrated to Gabon when oil was discovered there in the 1970s. People in Brazza don't really enjoy the oil they have since that everything is owned by Sassou-clan and his politicans. Also the french company ELF has the monopoly on oil over there. Its not for nothing that they brought Sassou in 1997 back on power. In 1992 he had lost the presidential elections against late Pascal Lissouba. Lissouba then wanted to gave the Americans the oil to get more revenues since that ELF percentage was to big and Brazzaville just getting peannuts. When the French got informed over it the brought war to get Lissouba out and put their friend Sassou back in power.
late Laudert Londala who was the man behind Ngwomo Africa had actually the same idea about planning a festival like Fespam but he sadly died before wanting to organise it.
Brazzaville is lucky to have politicians that actually like to invest in culture compared to Kinshasa. The difference with Kinshasa is that the politicians there only offer money for matolo and campaigns. But not to invest in festivals, etc. Wazekwa often said it in his interviews. But people in Brazzaville often complain that when money comes in only mostly goes towards artists based in Kinshasa and those coming from other countries. I remember Brazzaville-artists complaining in interviews about to much Kinshasa artists being selected Fespam and not being happy that they were earning more money them them.
I remembered that the late Chairman Koyo complained on tv. He said that artists from other countries received more money than artist from Congo Brazza and some artists peanuts
Mind you the guy who played the guitar solo is called RFI Ndongisila. He used to be in Watikanya BTBG and he play in 3 albums ( coup de marteau, gérer nga et Sandruma canicule)
I always wonder why Zilco Shabani left the band after Kolo Histoire & this concert ?
He was still part of the band after this concert. He was there at Olympia. Zilco stayed with Nzenze Madodanga in Europe when the tour ended.
Today he's a member of Bana Viva in Kinshasa. I don't know if got deported years later after staying in Europoe. He departure didn't had a big affect because he got replaced by Thierry who used to play rhythm for Ngadiadia and was also joined by Costa Pinto who got into Nouvelle Ecritre a few weeks before Bercy
Thanks for the update. What band Costa Pinto used to be before joining Nouvelle Ecriture ?
