It starts with what we already knew,them being upset even before going to olympia,many deciding to leave as soon as they arrived,the way tyson and co snitched to koffi and took a step back...
then he reveals that when they remained in europe and started academia they have one month left on their visa and by the time they performed it had expired and they had to be deported,they had in the meantime been put in touch with secteur a guys who were asking them whether they'd be serious and respect what they are told,for example make 4 minutes songs to be promoted in europe and so on but they were not given a contract yet,and they performed once under those circumstancesof not having papers and they were uncomfortable they were constantly looking at the door to see if police arrived
then they put pressure on secteur a guys to make the contract, and out of desperation to stay in europe they could not even read the contract properly,while it had "dirty" clauses like they'd literally sell all their rights to secteur a and not even their children could inherit something should they die
and the other point which he thinks went against them was the desire of some to go to kinshasa instead of respecting the schedule they were preparing for them
hopefully i'll find the whole interview

Kibuisa Mpimpa was to much for them. They spent their time to long in Europe. So Lebou Kabuya returned with Academia to Kinshasa and immediatly returned back after their first concert at YMCA. I always thought that he stayed in Europe after finishing Viagra. Unfortunately we will never know what happened. I was shocked to hear that Pitshou Concorde used to disrespect Lebou Kabuya, I didn't except that from him.
Really sad to hear that no any Europe-based QL-singer showed up for the recordings of Lebou's tribute song. Only Suzuki and Chamberton. I thought that Lebou's death would teach them something, but I it didn't.

I'm surprised to hear that Secteur A gave them a slave-contract. On the other side it was good that they didn't listen to Secteur A to make mainstream-music, because otherwise we wouldn't get Sanction and those big events in Kinshasa. Jhymmy Mukelenge always say that Congolese musicians are ungrateful, but he forgets that he isn't professional, which made alot Congolese artists move to foreign musiclabels.

Yeah Viagra is actually a very good album they just released it in the wrong period, it would’ve competed better with the albums like Force De Frappe, TH, etc. Yeah Concorde used to disrespect Lebou to show that he was a pro Sam musician Tonton Lay spoke briefly about that in one of his interviews that he, Pitshou, Eric Menthe and co would sometimes be sent to unsettle Lebou, Pathy and sometimes Somono but Somono being a strong character they wouldn’t bother loool.
Yeah I really wanted a Lebou interview about Academia but he was in Canada and the Congolese media scene is kinda flat… RIP Lebou we miss you.
I hope that YMCA concert is found
