Alot of combattans of DRC weren't motivated to disrupt that show,since that Roga Roga comes from Brazzaville. With also alot still being angry the way alot of the people insulted people from DRC in 2015 after Operation Mbata ya Mokolo and being happy how people were getting raped and killed there. Alot were also tired because the same day there was a protest against Kagame in Paris.
After not getting help from people of DR Congo they tried to do the same tatic what Babin Masombo, Zorobilel and co did during Heritier's Olympia by burning cars.

The same day there was a protest against that concert. But they I don't think more than 100 people if it was us then there would be more than 3000 people with delegations coming from UK, Belgian, Germany, Switserland, The Nederlandts, etc. People from Congo Brazzaville are very different than us. Most of the public of Roga Roga's concert came from DR Congo. Back in the days when Extra Musica was performing in Paris (1997-2001) they were always looking a way to get close to the DR Congo-community in Europe to lure people to their concerts with them performing always in small halls and their concerts in Brussels, London and Switserland always being big 'mpiaka's'. Their succes was only on tv and Africa. In 2001 when they performed at Zenith they invited Papa Wemba & Koffi Olomide to lure public and get the hall sold out. Didn't you see the way how Roga Roga started praising Wenge Musica in interviews with Ado Yuhe and Ingrid Kabongo just to get sympathy and get people of DR Congo to his concert, while in the most interviews he always ignore them.
I think that alot of musicians will not return to Brazzaville. I see Roga Roga already mocking the combattans in interviews. Here's a video of combattans on TV5 Afrique.

Here you got a video of anti-combattans. hahahah they killed me. I think that the concert of Roga Roga wil give Heritier and Fally Ipupa the motivation to try again to bring concerts back.

Hahahaha mama na mpiaka. The most people don't even know a song of them. I've saw already 30 times people of DR Congo who were motivated to go to their concert saying how they need to dance there and what their songs are. But congrats to Roga Roga for having performed.

Good for them hopefully hopefully more artists from Congo and eventually DRC get to play in Europe again. How do these guys wanted to at least play at Bercy but can't even fill that venue. Too many empty spaces, DRC artists need to be able to play again soon.

the mpiaka (although like said on another topic we have become too harsh on it because of clan wenge) was due to two three things,first we must remember that congo brazza's whole population is not even half of kinshasa alone,i believe even the area of tshangu is not far from having more people and they dont have too big of a diaspora,then in that diaspora many were against the concert and there was even a protest during the concert which got some DRC and african in general combattants also involved,secondly surely people also feared because there was those videos of threats,some people even say they'd burn palais des congres like they did with elysee montmartre when wemba and werra had a concert together to be performed then third extra's fame abroad has dropped big time,the group has clearly been weakend by all those gone solo and the level of their songs has kept dropping or becoming too monotonous
while the old extra could fill stadiums for fun with their big hits of then

Times change. Back in the 80's and early 90's you had more of Congo Brazzaville in Paris then people of DRC. With artists coming from DRC performing in small halls and sometimes at LSC, Salle de Mutualite or Parc d'Exposition Versailles. It was rare to see those concerts being packed. Only Zaiko was able to do that, since that they had also succes in communities coming from Cameroun, Togo and the French Antilles due to the Nippon Banzai-disque.
