So the biggest complaint was that it was too watered down and derivative after the censorship. In casual listening years later I think it's alright... not the greatest, but I think criticism was too much then. Expectations were so high for SS and the acoustic quality on many songs was the kiss of death

To get better public reception, it might've been better to abandon the dance all together and make this the generique and not a mp3 bonus. This is fire. I also Telecommande, but it was not main (commerical/promotional) generique material.

Looking back 2011 was a rough year for the genre

This all messed the promotion of SS up. 5 days after the release of SS, Wemba and Werra's concert at Elysee Montmarte got cancelled with everybody focusing on the combattans, who started to then sabotate Fally's and Werra's concert in Europe and threaten music-promoters like Badive, etc.

Mpunda is better than all the generics we heard the last 3 years.

If i'm not misktaken was it the first concert cancelled by the combattants ? Yeah I remember they cancel Fally's Zenith of March 2011 by threatening people who came to watch the show. Despite this Fally played his concert in front of a small crowd.

yes, with Wemba and Werrason making an interview together. Wemba was then blaming the politicians of DR Congo, but Werrason was very very angry and started to diss people in diaspora. Saying that they have nothing and do construction work, etc. Which angered the combattans more and other people who first didn't pay attention to music or politics. Werrason said then that he would prove them a point at his concert in Brussels. After that he went to Germany with his concert almost getting cancelled by the police, but the musicpromoter changed the musichall on the last minute and claimed then that it was a birthday-party with the police allowing Werrason to perform, but it was then in front of a small crowd.

After that he went to Brussels revenge for the thing what happened in Paris. There was alot of police that day to protect the fans and Werrason, but there were to many combattans with the concert then getting cancelled. Werrason had some days after that a meeting with the combattans and cancelled then his whole tour. He was allowed to do a little playback for his fans in Paris. After that he returned to Kinshasa and made a protest-march against the combattans. Shortly after that he made an interview and attacked the combattans, which angered the combattans in Europe.
Fally was lucky to arrive in the musichall before that the combattans arrived. Otherwise they would have blocked him. He performed in front of 50 people who were mostly of his staff. It was a big problem to go back to his hotel. With the police escorting him from Zenith till the metrostation and all those combattans who were outside Zenith calling him pede, Fanny Kimpuka, etc. Those videos were on Congomikili, but they got all deleted and then Congomikili didn't upload their videos on youtube. After that he went to Danemark and Sweden where he performed despite those combattans trying to cancel those shows and lying on radio's that they won. Then he tried to go U.K., but it got cancelled be he went there. After that he decided to cancel his whole tour and went back to Kinshasa with his band.
David Monsoh tried to plan a Zenith for JB Mpiana in the summer of 2011 to get his money back, but he cancelled it before making it official.

It was because of David Monsoh who said that that generic was to long with them cutting the generic in 3 parts (Mpunda, Telecommande and Loboko). JB Mpiana also being happy with that and talking about that after his concert at Dock Eiffel.

It could have reached the success of Gangnam Style if promoted but I really don't know what is wrong with people, at least in Italy tbis was a well received generique
-
I don't like it there was way better sebene in other songs.

These so called combattants are idiots .They forget musicians get grief from politicians.If they are that brave let them go to places like Zimbabwe and stop concerts.
