Outside of the groups you named, and I will add Viva members like Reddy; Stino and Gloria, Europe based groups never reached success back home. All these groups based in Europe went MIA for the Congolese listener when they settled in Europe. That's why they used to say "poto eza cimetiere ya ba musiciens".
Kanda Bongo Man, Aurlus Mabele, Dr. Sakis, Dany Engobo
@mvulusi96Did you like Soukous artist based in Paris? To be honest, I wasn't a fan. I felt it was very gimmicky, like an outsiders impression of what our music sounds like. Although, I did love Dr. Sakis for his music video.He always had the best "dancers" in his videos kiekiekie! I used to sneak into my father's collection and watch those NSFW clips when I was young lmao
