This man would have been treated like a king if he was in Kinshasa instead of Brazzaville.

They created some real ultimate rumba sound with his band, that is a good reference for anyone interested in nice reverb and echo sounds.

Brazzaville didn't really knew how to promote their artists and culture compared to Kinshasa. Theo Blaise Nkonkou and Pamelo Mounka reached another dimension once they promoted their songs in Kinshasa. What I don't understand is that when reached some certain succes, they all decided to settle in Brazazville. That was also the case with an artist called Fernand Mabala who once tried to confront Emeneya in Kinshasa

I'm hoping someone has the footage of Emeneya vs Fernand Mabala in Tele Zaïre the whole crowd were screaming.

My favourite songs from Pamelo Mounka is Mama Na Mwana, Djimo Ivi, Amour De Nombakele and d'ici De L'an 2000.
