he asks for forgiveness in the name of all artists,says he has support from werra and fally about the concert
producer then says he contacted other musicians but they asked for a lot of money whereas jb accept to play for free
but in the comments there is still a looooot of negativity
-
Is jb really going to play for free? I doubt coz this just a pr stant....
-
yes,i have met the producer after the press conference and asked him he confirmed that its for free
jb himself was already saying in many videos years before all this that he would not perform again at zenith,olympia or bercy unless its for a charity cause
werra and fally were also contacted by the producer but they wanted to take 30 per cent of the income
plus that producer is jb's friend apart professional relationship,he is the husband of hortance panchal which jb sings a lot in songs
i was also skeptical knowning how jb loves money(who hates money anyway) but it really seems jb is sincere
wazekwaa also said few minutes ago on radio that he would agree to play for free if he is contacted
-
So the actual band wenge bcbg will get no money??
-
from what the producer said the whole money will go to associations(he named three associations he contacted and talked about hospitals where mothers cant live hospital after giving brith because they have no money to pay)
the musicians will be paid by jb's friends,the likes of florian miokono,patrick bolonia and co apparently not to forget that they will get manby gifts and co from fans lol

They will have all their costs paid for and probably small allowances for a bit of shopping,it is impossible for a band of that stature to play for nothing,someone is definitely paying JB something.
-
yes like i said before,jb himself paid half of the hotel fees then their is an amount given to each musician by close jb fans ,it was already like that in the mpunda tour
i might make you laugh but even uniforms musicians wear at those big europe concerts were and are paid by those close fans in any group
eberybody has a role in organization

If I were s musician like JB Mpiana I would never use my personal funds even to pay for hotel accommodation unless he didn't like hotel the promoter chose to pay for then he was right to use his money. Music is fun and also business so I personally don't expect JB Mpiana and BCBG to travel all the way to do things for free, they are being indirectly!

lol on social networks some people are mocking jb for have brought with him all his 9 bodyguards
its actually normal seeing the context of deep hate some people have against musicians
wazekwa also did that when he came to record adamu na eva since there are some combattants who work in paris airport or near its very easy for them to know when artist x or y arrives

It's normal,he's a major star and like you say the combbatufi want to harm him.

since the vidoes of the conference have been posted i have read over a hundred of threatening comments,sometimesi have seen the same person comment 15 times on the same video since they are so angry
motema mabe eleki trop na congo,imagine those guys are fully convinced that the producer was paid by congolese governement to organize a concert so that combattats explode
it makes me wonder,is their fight against kabila?for peace and development?or against music?
in my whole life,its the first times i am seeing people get so negatively excited about concerts
you'd think those artists murdered their whole families
-
Yeah,it's actually just a few individuals ,those who don't even know what congo looks like today,those are the ones that make noise. People like Boketshu would have been arrested in the UK for preaching and inciting violence,he's lucky where he is coz police are not too strict with laws,there they are just brutal when responding.
By the way,i heard Boketshu was beaten up by Werra's fans and Europe bodyguards,is it true?
-
yes,he beaten but i cant certify that it was werra's fans
you know these guys are big liars,they are ready to do everything they have no limit in terms of increase people's hate towards musicians
imagine those guys have filed an OFFICIAL compaint against jb and werra in court of paris for alleged crimes,hurman traffic(whereas many of them came to europe through them as ngulu,weird aint it)and so on

just one of the already many threatening videos
-
sly i just listened to one of combattants' radio and there was a interview with people allowed to ask jb questions,the guy got insulted for over a hour and politely said there is no point continuing the interview since there was no question about music
and the combattants said any perosn who is not a combattant hence a fan of jb or music will be lucky to remain alivbe,they said combattants will come from all over the world just to make sure there is no concert,they have not decide yet that concerts can start and there will be blood if jb and fans continue insisting than the concert will happen,they also insulted the producer and said he is used by kabila and so on
then jb replied "you say we dont care about goma,now what do you think goma people will think of you for not wanting us to help themé and he got insuled again and once again politely said it was over for him and good luck for the rest of the show
-
Archos, i hope you and all other members are doing well. I have heard of the Combatants before but since i don't understand the lingala or French languages i haven't been able to know who they really are, but i have scanty info that they are people who normally attack and disrupt shows by big Congolese musicians especially in Europe, would you kindly give me a brief background of the group?
-
In short i would say most of them are "directed" by two congolese politicians who had big roles in mobutu era and who want to claim them again so any opportunity to disturb current president and those around him is used
its actually very very difficult to define exactly who is a combattant and who is not
there are so many versions
for example lets stay in music,political world is not my cup of tea,too much hate and evil there
there strategy towards music was to stop concerts in london in 2004 so that people are fully focused on politics and especially war in east of congo
then under the influence of the two politiciains i mentioned,it went from a state of upset to deep hate against the president,everything bad has been said about him(i am not saying he's an angel but still they went too far) and whoever say something contrary to what they think,or claim they know about president gets insults or any type of threatening
so when musicians participated to campaigns of 2006 and 2011 it made them very very angry,if what those guys said in their videos was in english of french and musicians took it to court they would spend a long long time in jail i think
apart the purely political reasons,there is also anger because of personal problems,they are angry against musicians because of stuff like taking their money and not dedicating them in songs for example, or flirting with their woman and co....so disturbing concerts like that is like a payback
and everyday those two leaders especially one keep making them even more angry
-
I just hope this concert takes place. Congolese music has been killed without these events....
