Yeah, aside from M’bilia Bel, Kanda Bongo Man, Diblo, and co our artists have never had South America on their mind. They’re so concerned with pulling big crowds

The thing is, they might've been able to pull rather big crowds in say, Colombia. Especially when one considers the underground popularity it has in this country.

Colombia, Ecuador, Brasil and many many other South American countries have a lot of Acrican American people that would love to see their own ancestor especially in music, Rosalina by BM has been on the number 1 charts in Barranquilla in Colombia, and Brasil, Argentina (even though are very racist countries) Uruguay, Cile are grest for music, in fact Reggaeton despite not being talked like Rock is waaay more bigger than Rock in South America, I don't think things will change becuase as usual Leaders do not like to learn, do not like to know outside of their comprehension.

This is very true, ba ndeko. Congolese Music is very popular in the coastal cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla of Colombia. In fact, the genre "Champeta" is basically the Colombian version of Soukous lol. Also, Congolese music is very popular in the the Caribbean (West Indies) as well. It can also blow up in Brazil and co since there's a lot of Black people in South America than North America.
Instead of just focusing on Europe due to the combatants, musicians can tour in areas where there's large populations of Afro descent people. People that live in tropical energy gravitate towards high energy music (seben), this won't only increase their following but them on the map.
Somebody should contact Fally, Koffi, Werrason, JB and co to South America and the Caribbean. It's never too late!
