and he is right him,tata and co would not have accepted turning into employees as it would have been had the group continued
him and tata are living well and having tours even if they are not on same success are jb werra,plus both have other way of earning money,same for masela who gave priority to his job as a lawyer;makaba also leaves well
back on that song he wants to sing with meje,its a great song he already play a bit in his concerts and meje would be perfect there

he sings a bit of that song from 34 30 here
-
how many albums has be released so far? and how else does he earn a living. Was he really an Engineer?
I like Blaise Bula and his music.From that Balia ngando album who are some members still with him since Tresor Nzinga left for mopao and Gemrose for Wera
-
two albums so far,yes he is a true engineer,he worked from 2001 to 2009 in france as an engineer in electronics
most of the guys of balia ngando team have preferred staying in europe,except soloist toussaint mbemba and singer willy star who comes and goes from paris to kinshasa
he also works for the congolese copyright company and possesses a taxi company
-
thank you archos. I like to here those simple information from these artistes, so he produced balia ngando while still in employment? and what is the name of his other album? his taxi company is in kin or paris?
-
yes,like blaise said when in studio for balia ngando,he invested a lot of money he saved from his years of work into that album
his other album was ponderation 8 which is also the name of his group
and the taxi comany is in kin,its not a very big company but still a decent way of getting some money
-
so did balia ngando pay back?
-
Not directly,the album did not have great success in congo except the song okota for valentines day which has become a classic in congolese music
by the way,tis the very same okota which made him get a lot of money years after
in fact last year, blaise filed a complaint against a mobile phone company for abusive use of the song and he won the process and was paid 300 000 dollars if i recall well as compensation
he was the first artist to claim his rights like that in a long long time
-
Yaa okota was good and i also find Lepetrolier to be very good I just wish him well. But before you are done with Bula tell me something about what happened to his teeth. thank you
-
his teeth problem is very old
in the early 90's he was with a woman and later she became the wife of a army general
apparently,her and blaise separated in bad terms so she lied to that general that blaise was bothering her to restart together so that blaise receives an humiliation and the general sent guys who kidnapped blaise and he was seriously beaten,that's where he lost the teeths
he missed wenge concerts for over a month and even missed singing on a album i think right now i dont remember which one
but i definitely recall jb and werra singing at a concert" women are evil,because of a woman blaise bula is between life and death"
and i agree with you le petrolier was very good,good duet between him and gemerose
-
Le Petrolier is one of my favorite songs of all time.
