about koffi she says that the only good memory she have about him is that few weeks after joining the group she was already going on europe tour, but apart from that koffi was not letting  female dancers  have their freedoom and she was not used to it,since in academia where she was before she was free but sam tshintu and co gave her and her colleagues advice about life and so on
she also says she left koffi because she was fed up of not being free,as dancers where kept either in koffi's house or with koffi's mother in her hourse and they had  avery restricted time if they wanted to go out
then she joined jb through seguin mignon,and she was  amazed about how simple  jb was despite being a big star,he often ate in the same big plate as his dancers and musician and stuff like that,and treated them like  his brothers and sisters
she says she was starting to plan retiring from dancing in a group when she realised she  gained much weight but also she had readhed an age where she had famuly ambitions aswell and  about which many dancers of her generation are still in the group, she says jb is not the type of boss who  will fire you just because your physical appearance has changed unlike some other leaders and that what matters to him is whether you are still able to perform
she also adds about her departure that she informed jb when they went to canada after those years without moving from africa that she wanted to stay there and jb said he was ok and ever since their relationship is still great
about the reputation of dancers,she refutes claims that jb used them as prostitutes to gain money from rich people of congo during the years of immigration ban saying that on contrary jb was acting like a big brother telliog them to be careful and avoid having several boyfriends at the same time at stuff like that

sorry if its not complete i did it based on memory since i saw that video long ago

Asante sana

what are these backstage revelations about JB and Koffi? Anyone volunteer?

is it the concert you are talking about?
you have singers vaugérard with the "wazekwa beard",serge kanza on his left,akouda on the left of serge,and also lola mwana
you have as guitarists tshotsho matiaba the lead guitarist,augusto on mi-solo with also gégé mangaya,shango on rhythm,bijou bass the great dancer lol,roucoulet on drums,micho and montana mbonda on percussion,lmodeste modikilo on keyboards
you also have atalakus papy cocaine,alino biongo and doudou adoula
there was a b team recruited by lola mwana when zaiko was stuck in europe but nyoka longo has only kept some of them once they came back to kinshasa
doudou adoula is the chef d orchestre,shango artistic director
of course they have an older fanbase which is normal since the group will soon be 50 years old,and there are fans who folloved  them since their beginning and still attend their concerts
the same can be said for the likes of papa wemba,bozi...( the rest of clan zaiko)

Oh yes
Do you have the "moto moto" seben I haven't watched this video?

We don't get to hear about Zaiko a lot in the forum. Who are the singers atalaku instrumentalist do the nowadays have female dancers etc how do they recruit do they have team B?

I noticed their fan base is a little older is that their niche?

Does anyone have their practice videos , band positions etc
