Roga Roga announcing a tour in the USA for march 2019, saying that they spent a long time there. I think that its a 1 year-contract like Defao in 1999-2000. He said that they will return in Brazzaville for a moment for the Fespam-festival. He also say that he will bring the whole band there (inclu. dancers). He also talked about them finishing the clips of 242 and that he's working on his next-solo album.

MM international randomly came on my Spotify playlist coupe days ago and it was good. Don't know how the USA concerts would be, don't know if they have a big fans base out here. Ever since they played in Paris last year is concerts for Congo-Brazzaville artists back?

Eh, I'm indifferent towards this band. It's been the same old tired songs since La Main Noire...

I don't know. But Roga Roga's band of Brazzaville is the only band who really tours in Europe and it was for the first time they returned after an absence of 17 years. Extra Musica International and Z1 International are already death since 2002. Quetin Moysacko, Abilissi, Kila Mbongo and sometimes give playbacks in bars or performs at restaurant they never give real concerts.

I'd travel to see Zaiko but not to see Extra Musica.  Their songs aren't that memorable to me.  The only way I see this working is if they play cultural festivals like L'Afrisa did to generate buzz, but for them it's still a long shot
