I am wandering how Goya Menor and Nektunez amapiano track is soooo popular in the US, but Congolese fail to gain popularity here.

A couple of reasons, Amapiano is the in sound right now so a lot of people listen to it so it caters to that, secondly it got pushed by tiktok which helped, thirdly it was release in summer but pushed during the ghana/Nigeria party season of december when many westerners go and visit there well western black people. These factors all helped it get pushed. It’s a Nigerian singer who has made it in an amapiano sound. That’s massive too because Nigerians push their artists. Congolese don’t push their own artists like Nigerians do as a people. Congolese fans of music the average person of that similar age listens to Fally, koffi, the odd fabregas generique, maybe 1/2 Ferre rumbas and old werra but that’s it and some innos or gaz maybe . There’s not much support to push the genre it starts from within.

They have to look within themselves and motivate the genre. In hip hop there were definitely fights within the genre. But at the end of the day they empower eachother.
