yeah i am with you guys,donors really need to stop that rumba obsession,especially as it becomes impossible that all the 20+ rumbas of various albums succeed,whereas with sebene songs here and there,the nostalgic and fans of it like us can make it become hits

With Fally Ferre and Koffi I already prepare myself to know they most likely won’t have Sebene songs in their albums because that’s their formula even though Fally surprised everyone with Zany, but with Jb like he comes from Wenge who were the masters of sebene. It’s okay to say no to donors sometimes
maybe if for example the genta song shines or any other of the rare sebene songs we'll get in current releases it will encourage people to get back on accepting to get it there is one of the donor who went as far as trying to sue jb when he was made aware that he had a sebene song with several vocals,they remove the files of the song and it became a full jb rumba lead a completely different song that kibens had to do in emergency

Makes you wonder how many songs from the past 20 years, not just by JB and BCBG, were initially supposed to finish with sebene, only to be retooled into a rumba just to satisfy next man's fickle desires and keep the money rolling. I agree with Longbluesquid when he says that they're killing our music and restricting the bands' creativity.

Is it the donors or actual fans? By attending concerts and such. Cause if donors are against sebenes and us fans are complaining the genre could be destroyed just from someone’s requests. I don’t understand Congolese economy, in regards to music.

I don’t understand Congolese economy, in regards to music.Tbh there is no way any regular fan can give more money then a donor let's say medium size artist have an album of 20 songs. A donor will give the artist 20k dollars per song (and this is a medium artist, imagine big artist like Fally, Ferre etc) and the donor has complete control over the genre of the song and sometimes the topic but not on the type of instruments and vocals being played plus this is just songs but sometimes a donor can give you Mabanga money and also buy you instruments for rehearsals make your artists use their own homes, give you free bottles at the club, etc. Etc. And how will the average diaspora Congolese fan could compete with that? And I saying Diaspor because only.Lord knows how much harsh is to get by in Congo and let alone in a very big city like.Kinshasa, people.dont have even have the koney for.food let alone.music, cos are usually sold.by one person buying a copy and then making the copy.for.many people.or street sellers buying the copy.and reselling it, so yes unless something change, Rhumba will be the trend
