This album made him go the Russia, Qatar, Oman & the French West Indies (Martinique, Guadeloupe & Saint Martin). He was on the way to become one of those Soukous-stars. He could have made a big name like Awilo Longomba,  Kanda Bongo Man, Dr Sakis, Aurlus Mabele, Diblo Dibala, etc. But he decided to go back to his roots with Engombi.

I think its because of how he could finally return to kinshasa after the deaths of saddam and his dad,so he went to kin and did wenge kumbela with alvarito,jordan,zakoko,champion kanda and co in  hope to compete with his brothers of wenge

I remember someone telling me that Marie Paul wanted him to join El Paris but Aime Buanga refused back in 1997-98.

Its true Aime said that 3 years ago in an interview. Saying that Marie Paul tried to convice him to return, because in his opinion it would be difficult for him to succeed as solo-artist in Kinshasa with all those stuff which happen behind the scenes and on the other side it would boost Wenge EL Paris more, because they could then claim that they were the true Wenge since that Aime Buanga is the founder of Wenge Musica 'Kolo Esthetique'. But Aime Buanga refused.

Impressive. Not many of our artists go as far as the Middle East.

It's a good Aime Buanga refused he was really motivated to start his band despite the short success.

hmmm short succces? All his albums flopped and people started to mock him. I remember Sai Sai mocking him in the JB-vs-Werra movie. Until he decided to stop with his music career and become a producer.

Wenge Kumbela was a really underrated band.

I suppose that's what happens when people focus on the more charismatic figures. In this case, JB and Werra.

Very shameful for Sai Sai saying that he's nothing.

Aime Buanga was missing something and his hood Bandal was already divided in 3 parts (BCBG/EL Paris/Maison Mere). With all influent people of Bandalungwa support one of those 3 bands. His best friend and first president of Wenge Musica 'Kolo Esthetique' Jean Belis-Mfumu (R.I.P.) was already with Wenge EL Paris. So it was already very difficult to succeed. If he came from Lemba, Limete or Yolo than it would have been easier. Someone like Felix Wazekwa succeed because he had all the support of people coming from his hood Matete. The same for Thythy le Vallois who came from Masina.

The sound quality on Judgement Dernier is still one of the best I’ve ever heard. 11/10, unfortunate the crowd wasn’t on his side
