during fikin 2005 i think or the year before i dont remember to perfection i went to a felix wazekwa concert,and got taken to that side of the stage where some people stay throughout concert,behind mbonda player and right side atalakus
there was a guy at the front of the crowd selling,i dont know if it exists in other countries that both congos,cooked eggs he'd cut and put hot pepper on it to survive and he was manageing to dance when he was not selling with the eggs on his head and of course it was making people laugh but not in an humiliating way for him,then at some point when he has sold everything to everyone surprise he went to see felix younger brother germain who was then the secretary to ask to go on stage to take a picture with wazekwa and when he came on stage he literally started showering his congolese francs to ya felly but wazekwa who does not really like being showered money on stage (given his religious principles) was a bit embarassed and told his brother to make sure the guy does not go
and at the end of concert he gave him back his money and added all what he had received on stage which was quite some since people from UK came and asked about him a bit and he said he was total orphan and the oldest of the children so he had to do that to feed his 5 younger brothers and pay class for them and wazekwa told him to come at next rehearsal and took him to where he has his foundation to help guys learn jobs like carpentry,art,welding and so on
and few weeks after he was the first person of the foundation on list to europe with cultura as a ngulu
and today the guy is a bank accountant in france,and he is the guy who reminded me of the story, i was soooo surprised he recognized me man
