I get what you are saying especially with the foundation charity etc etc he is involved with. the guy is a genuine guy. He is all in in his love and affection for Congo and Africa. he has to do a delicate balancing act with being a Congolese national and an African and International star.
Magic system DID change one hell lot their music to settle here their current musicand now their authentic music here their very original rhythm which is called wôyô in this clip they talk about when they just landed in parisi believe one thing we have to take into account as much as i am proud of our language,is the language factorfor example michael jackson was known in the states,in a village of senegal, in a town of birmania,in brazil and so on because of the style of music first and the fact it was englishso do today the shakira beyonce and cojuste like the french speaking artists of europe especially the french african ones are known in france and all around the francophone countries, despite those countries having a lot of their stars with the authentic music from their country its a combo of language plus style of music, magic system do not play hardcore zouglou anymore just like p square do not play highlife of folklore like their main musiclook for example to what happened to youssou ndour when he aimed to go international,he had one hit feat neneh cherry and was asked to stick to singing in english for a good moment which apparently he refused and went back to his mbalax there are two types of international,the continental one and the kinda worldwide one or proper worldwide our stars are known in africa just like now in kinshasa you get to hear congolese music in nightclubs in the two last hours or if one of the stars is in the nightclub and they do him a favourthen there is the wordlwide one,count the number of american stars who never ever toured in africa to promote their music but have loads of people who love them,now count the jb's ,werra's,koffi's, davido's and co who are so popular in states and europe with their authentic music that they can easily play on a soldout madison square or stade de francei really get the "emotional" part of it and i agree with that aswell but i think we have to put the things in their contextwhat we consider as international,even fabregas is not too far to have nailed it already but then it would depend on ambition of each artist to be happy with that or trying to go higher
