Just seeing this!!! Awww....So Sad! Rest in Peace Papa Wemba. I'm so pained right now...
-
May his soul rest in peace. Papa Wemba was influential to Congolese and African Music. So many hits and good songs to even begin to mention them. He will never be forgotten. The new realm is about to receive a great
-
Wow. I'm in complete shock. The most influential and kindest of them all... gone. RIP Kuru

I believe his doctors advised him to take a musical break follow his illness which necessitated a hospital stay, but his love for music was just too strong; he always wanted to be active.
Unfortunately the collapse video will be everywhere by the end of the day.
-
indeed he said he was told to take a break then he took a break and told doctor he'd restart at the abidjan concert and was apparently given green light

It is already on Youtube!

Those uploaders will also have the audacity to put RIP in the description. ::)

One thing that's for certain, he went out doing what he loved most.
Yet another lesson learned the hard way for African event organizers. In Abidjan almost unsurprisingly. Concerts must always have medics and paramedics on standby. All we see a few ill equipped Red Cross staff. What a shame, they couldn't take the crucial steps to possibly revive him then and there.
-
there are even images of him at mortuary spread,internet has spoilt many of us
what is even more sad with papa's death is that one month after funerals,the good things people will supposedly have learned from this death will evaporate and it will be same old again until unfortunately the next case
the rest of festival has been cancelled straight away by the group magic system,the organizers of festival

Oh my God! I am lost for words!

Rest in peace Mwalimu Mzee Fula Ngenge

A pretty touching reaction from Koffi:
http://youtu.be/iBczKoCf2Zc
To paraphrase - Koffi recieved a call from Hamed Bakayako who was in front of Wemba's corpse in the moratorium. He states life at the end of the day is nothing; we are nothing. We should steering clear of what we think is of value but really aren't- cars, jewelry, etc. and be wiser, valuing the realtionships that made us who we are. Depsite all the years polemics and drama, they remain brothers and Koffi will always remain his fan just like the early days.

Very rarely does Western media recognize African greatness.

R.I.P Mwalimu...
-
Something that ticks me a lil bit...Mwalimu was sick, kinda forced his way back to stage. At his age why schedule his performance at 5 AM? And we gotta educate our people about first respond!! Someone passes out and see how many ppl surrounded him? They even got him up??wat if it was just a lack of blood activities in his brain?
First musician to make me drop a tear on their death since Pepe Kalle( had nightmares for days)
-
RIP Le Nkuru. So sad indeed.

I'm no expert, but the cause appears to be cardiovascular.
I was actually reading a thesis which states that singing begins to have significant adverse effects on the heart of men as they age, which is why so many musical artists pass on in their 40s, 50s and 60s. I just wonder if others are conscious of this occurence and taking necessary precautions.

jb mpiana's tribute message(translated)
words can not express the intense feeling of sadness i have at the moment,congo africa and may i say the whole world has just lost one of the best artists of its history the great "mzee papa wemba", and with deep sorrow i have to accept this bad news
papa wemba was for me an elder brother somebody who always had advice for me in good and bad moments of my life and career
as you all know it,papa was is and will always remain my idol and role model,if i did not dream about following his footsteps i would not be who i am today
its an hearbreaking moment for him and i feel like its a good part of my life which is gone forever
thanks papa for everything you have done for me,thanks for everything you have done for us
thanks for what you have done for our culture,you will be remembered forever in our heads and our hearts
now that you have gone, i am left alone(cavalier solitaire)
-
SAD!!! When you want to know those who have contributed to life and humanity positively, this is how to know them. The whole world is talking about him right now.The world has lost a rare gem and he is irreplaceable.Papa Wemba will be missed greatly. This goes beyond just making music.
I hope the polemique warlords would learn from this man's demise and learn that what matters in the end is the lives you have touched positively not the ones you destroyed.
However powerful and untouchable we might think we are, death would come knocking someday and there it ends.

Indeed, Celeo Scram has already apologised to Fally,Koffi and others he always wants to diss and said it's a wake up call,we can all go anytime so best to leave behind a good name. He looked really shaken in an interview.

Love is all we need; love can melt a heart of stone; love is what would judge us in the end.

I'm just going to leave these here. There will never be two Papa Wembas.

Man, saw Ya Jossart's interview today.. And I really felt bad! Among the original band Zaiko members only him and Pepe Felly left(Mavuela, Evoloko,Gina, Bapius and Meridjo came later).. And u look how many of his colleagues he seen passing away(DV Moanda,Teddy Sukami, Matima, Shekedan, Sonnerie, Enoch Zamuangana, Shiro Shiro,Alpha Kopeya, Boanga Omela Toko, Baroza, Dindo Yogo,Lofanga,Petit Aziza,Ilo Pablo, Mashakado,Vieu Ombale Bimi, Likinga, Ya Lengos etc...) it's just too much for him
