its been a while since i have done a topic like that,and over the whole weekend that idea was popping up so today i was like why not?
the topic will be about the known rules of our music in bands,the hidden ones,and the new ones added in recent years aswell
some will clearly look logical to most of us but some will be like what kind of thing these guys are smoking
stay tuned,if interested

Yes do it, unfortunately in Congolese culture we tend to rely too much on oral memory for our history, leaving very few space for written matierials, imagine if Ado Yuhe, Mbuta  Likasu, Papa Mboma, Nolly Tambu and many of the other journalists in Kin and in Europe specialized in report8ng Congolese music could do if they solo books with artists

As someone that doesn’t know much about Congolese culture I’m very interested in this.

I would want to know these things:
Who did decide who can put a song on a group album?
How does anybody getting integrated to the group and does everybody have the same rights beside the chef of orchestre?
How does they decide, who is chef d’orcheste? Do they vote?
How much money do they get through Mabanga? Is everything for them or do they need to give some anount to the leader?
Can everybody bring a friend to a test or is it limited?
How often do they have a repetition? How often can you miss til you get suspended?
How did they control the singers on abroad trip?

Are these good question for this topic?

Also, could you give some stories of politics and conflicts that big bands had and were able to solve? We know often about the ones that split groups, but I've heard stories of donors, members, and even family members that have made interventions to keep a group from splitting or losing key members

I am actually curious to know what dynamics happen between the boss himself or herself, the musicians and the entourages.
