Blaise is actually taking the piss with this promotion I'm still sooo confused by this tactic
It’s not his tactic. Its the tactic of his manager, who wants to promote his album in Europe first, so that he can get money. Promotiong an album in Kinshasa is a waste of money. You will only lose, since that nobody will buy your cd only the piracy version which are sold by Chinese, Indian, Lebanese and Nigerian people in Kinshasa and you got to pay “corrupt” all those tv channels, radio and journalist to let play your album with on the end not even receiving the money back trought those royalties of Socoda, since that those radio’s, musicbars and tv channels don’t pay those taxes. Hence why many don’t like to promote albums in Kinshasa. I will not be surpised if Blaise Bula will be in conflict with his manager after 3 or 6 months, like many other artists.
Werrason, JB Mpiana, Fally Ipupa, Ferre Gola & Koffi Olomide don’t have the same probleem, since that they have alot of money and also because they are friends with those tv-directors and even have the power to fire journalists of those channels and they pirate themselves to not be victims to that problem and to gain some money. Wemba denouced that, but was them sued by Koffi.
