toolz you just raised one big issue here for black community in france,sometimes you'll call them to rescue as you are assaulted or witness a fight and they'd control you as if you were the guy doing those things and they also have developped some "'well,them again,ok let just move on" thing because of how in several cities here african or afro carribean nightclubs are quite often closed by police due to too much fights so i think they do not take the issue too seriously, the french guys especially wazekwa should keep going in their fight instead of fearing that if they get a strong decision from authorities quickly they'd get very bothered outside music and i feel that might be the other issue we'll face should concert happen the first ones will be surely followed by combattants tracking them outside music at any opportunity for revenge
kaisari the france tours have two three main assets to leaders apart from money they make themselves,the first is making their bookpress bigger like for example werra and koffi who played zenith more than 3 times,possibility to record in french studios with musicians motivated by the gifts they can get from fans and relaxed unlike kin where you can spend a month struggleing on a song because on your days there are strong power issues then for leaders europe tours are a golden occasion to make up for not paying or not paying what would satisfy their musicians back when the whole congolese show biz was at its top,even female dancers went back home with their own mercedes and several big luggage
bobby ronaldinho will have to up his dance game,the style of victoria is very very different of the maison mere one credit to rhythm guitarist euro aswell,you'd think its still coreen there
i just got a call from an irish work mate who saw the news on tv and he said "are your guys for real?they mean congolese people are not intelligent enough to be able to have fun yet still care about serious issues of life like people from all around the world?" it was quite embarassing
i believe what he would do is similar to what monsoh just talked about,also koffi has an option other musicians do not have,which is that it has been said and a bit proven that he was influencing some combattants on other concerts(which fuelled his beef with jb for example) so he surely has some control,maybe i am wrong but he keeps saying that the day he goes to france again he will perform because he is the one who can lift the ban
he says he does not understand why combattants are mixing politics with entertainment, kabila leaving or not has nothing to do with music,so he is confused and french authorities cancelled concert because what happened was pure terrorism so they had no other choice than fearing it worsens and apparently they told him to postpone it one of the artists who should have performed along with heritier,dibi dobo from benin was assaulted in all that mess and is in emergency at the moment the ban is not affecting only congolese people but also people from other countries because our stars have fans in several countries and the concert was also an occasion to officially launch his channel bblack africa so there were other artists such as dibi dobo from benin,waly seck from senegal,fababy from france/ivory coast he had agreed with french police on the security as he knew that combattants were eagerly waiting for whenever artists try to do their job here to come and cause havoc he even wrote to minister of interior who had given him green light for concert,olympia's boss got scared with what happened especially with combattants calling to tell them they'd pay tickets as if they came for concert and cause what happened at bataclan he is asked whether this could make him fear to produce congolese artists and he says no he is a guy who does not take step back and he wont let it go like that he will put french authorities in front of their responsabilities because that's their responsability to make sure to handle such stuff because if it was french star johnny hallyday performing no way they'd cancel 30 minutes before start of concert so he'll continue legal action in any possible way starting from the french association of producers and again authorities he is disappointed of course but he does not give up
dady is still there but he got visa denied,it seems the internet guys adams juvenal carine(who i hear is switching to ferre ) have outshone him a bit in the group's promotion
no brother what i mean is that since musicians especially the top ones are buying ferraris and co after angola tours (as to say they make big money) europe concerts are kind of less vital to them which is why they do not put all their energy to stop the ban and that's part of what many combattants always wished,to see musicians completely down and begging to save not only their career but also their lives,so seeing that some are even richer than before the ban makes some of the guys more jealous/angry with what happened i am tempted to believe koffi is right saying he knows how to lift the ban easily,few of our artists can be as bold and stubborn as him on that field of legal action
very sad comments but combattants do not realise that it is slowly building us congolese a reputation of very wild people and thats dangerous very dangerous at one point it will end up being a nightmare for those who try to get papers even in the calmest possible way
amennnn guys this was a very very very strong chorus, i remember an interview of sam suzuki and babia before babia went to angola they were so complementary you'd think they never stopped working together
Sometimes I don't understand (some) Fally fans; on social they're praising that fact that Heritier's concert was cancelled. They want to Fally to be first, when they know damn well the same thing will happen at his venue
Fally himself was rooting for Heriter in this situation
this is what i was talking about earlier,yesterday(some) heritier fans started winding up fally fans after seeing fally's interview that he got a paper from the authorities that the true leader moto na tembe and so on will be the one saving the congolese music on his own becuase he is mzee and so on,and you could also see people with werrasonique in their facebook name insist there wont be any concert or rejoice that it has failed whereas i think all artists should be united on that cause and so do fans who tend to be even more " stupid" at times that those leader themselves the day all groups will put their BS outside of those situations i am sure there will be some proper evolution it almost got there even with that childish mentality,imagine how it would be with the proper mentality
