Why everybody hating on Makaba? Can someone give me the full details of his solo? Actual music created by him?

Your opening  gambit about hating on him is wrong but you're asking the right questions........like you I also want to know what he created so I'll wait

Yeah you sound like a Makaba hater. He’s actually really good. He only really gets opportunities during repetitions and concerts. Werrason doesn’t give any opportunities to soloists anymore other than the usual generique or so. So it’s mostly Werrasons fault for not letting him reach his full potential on albums.

Are you referring to Bikorine?

Bikorine has been the main soliste since Kimbangu left. He played in all the albums after Kimbangu.  Makaba plays well though many like the fast paced and complex  tunes of Flamme.
To me having more than 1 soloist creates healthy competition and creativity like previously with Japonnais, Kapaya, Mboka Liya, Christian, etc.

Never hesitates to dust his coat , pickup and start from scratch with new talents everytime a band member quits.
With all the negativity around....
I salute this guy.

I don't think that releasing an album whole simultaneously having a full time job can help, I mean he should just either leave music for good or go to Kin and become loke Innoss cause if not that is just a waste of money

In the US many artists tend to get into movies and business ventures.

Why giving Inoss B' as example for someone who can be his father. Inoss B' and Celeo are not of the same music-genre.

Releasing albums and having a full-time job is not a problem. People forget that music is about making people happy and not a competition. You have artists who had some succes in Europe and bit Kinshasa and then took a break of 4, 5, 7 years, to make a comeback. If you don't work in Europe, how will live you if you don't want to be gigolo. Today it's almost impossible to do "ba coop" in Europe. Also making music in Kinshasa doesn't make sense anymore, because you only get money by doing matolo or having relationships with x or y, or being a good friend of a certain regims. The bandleaders that survive today, are there because of being lucky to have already having made a big name before 2012, having a big catalogue and fanbase. When coming close to them they will all say that they get zero from making music in Kinshasa and that they live because of business,  matolo, sponsorships, weddings and donations from donors. Them all waiting for the moment that music will come back in Europe.

Congolese Music / Re: Djess talking about Wemba, Reddy, Arata & Pili-Pili of Japan
« Last post by Mfumu Vata on September 29, 2023, 20:28 »
I noticed that in the period of 1998-2003, Papa Wemba being often part of car-accidents. The car-accident of Cameroun must have been scary seeing your bodyguard and car-driver passing away and staying in a car . It's a wonder how he survived.

I'm surprised to hear that Wemba was already in conflict with Niarcos before the Palais du Peuple-concert. So the tour after it would still not having taken place, because of Wemba having to meet his doctors in Paris.

I would like that to see Arata & Pili-Pili being interviewed about their experiences in Kinshasa and about the trip Japanese people were making towards Kinshasa in the period 1983 to 1989 to visit groups like Viva la Musica, Rumba Ray & Victoria Eleison and why Japanese people used to like Papa Wemba alot.

Imagine if Awilo's trip went to Europe went wrong or if Djess decided to scam him. That was a huge risk, many families did the same thing for their children. Many of them even being ungrateful and not even thinking about their families anymore, some becoming  new-born christian and claiming that their family blocked them.
