Pelle, Amando Diego, Ali Muhammed etc, were very good at their thing, they retired, what is special about kibense?
They were athletes. Of course when you do sports, you can do limited times. However Kibense is a musician. Music can be done anytime unless you are sick and not well.
honestly i dont know exactly the songs but it was in albums before 1990
You are probably right. Jules Kibens does know how to make good lyrics. Now I understand why JB values him so much. He is a good artistic person. EMO, you may hate Jules Kibens but he is creative. Kibens has been in the music scene for a long time. I am guessing that he is older than JB Mpiana. Pepe Kalle was one of his many artists that he wrote for.
One thing I notice is that Papa Wemba still sounds like Papa Wemba back in the day. Age has no impact. That is the reason why he is the top 5 or top 10 singers of all time in Congolese music.
