Congolese Music / Re: SAM TSHINTU AND MBUTA LIKASU PART 3 ACADEMIA
« Last post by Mfumu Vata on Today at 15:54 »It might’ve been better if Sam took Faustin Djata’s advice and kept the Kinshasa musicians for himself because if you listen to Viagra it’s like a mini Sam album and the viagra concerts in Europe he was the obvious leader. So Sam went to Kinshasa by himself and was rehearsing with the musicians by himself? If that was today Academia would’ve split there and then because it would’ve been all over YouTube and people saying Sam went solo and the other admins would’ve thought he was making the group for himself.
Sam and Bouro were right about not wanting Suzuki in the group because he’s not serious and he didn’t show up to film the viagra clips and didn’t return with them to Kinshasa.
Modogo did leave because in the Viagra bonus clips when they were in Kin he wasn’t there if was only Sam and Mboshi at the rehearsals, even in the clips they filmed in Kin he wasn’t there either.
Somono was insane to be chasing them with machetes and then chasing them and cursing them with arrows and singing traditional songs ehh
The fact that it took them 45 days to record viagra was just ridiculous, Academia was a mess at that point, the way they were always fighting and arguing it’s amazing they even finished the album.
Such a sad shame how things ended for Sam and Academia.
Suzuki even created problems during their Academia reunion 4 years ago.
I don't think that a new reunion will work. Because Sam Tshintu himself said here that Kenzy of Secteur A contacted them for a remix-album of Sanction, but it al went wrong after the first meeting because of Somono wanting the "founder" role which scared the rest who took part to the negotiations.
