Title: Montana Kamenga
Post by: Congomusiclover001 on May 04, 2023, 16:07
I didn't even know Montana had a whole album out in 2011...Was he still not in QL at this time? Did Koffi give him the nod? Cause that's usually the problem with band leaders..quand les petits ne sont plus les petit...

Anyone knows who played the solo on this album? and the atalakou, I've heard before but don't quite know him. Besides, when cri are recycled, you kinda don't pay attention too much...

The album dropped in 2000 not in 2011. He made it before joining Quartier Latin

The lead guitarist is Alexis Azulino of Viva la Musica "Cour des Grands" and the atalaku is late Ocean Ebale who used to animate in Quartier Latin.Montana  spent a big part of the money he received from this album at nightclub "La Reference" of Shaguy Sharufa in Brussels lol. Late Jean Pierre Saah was really furious when hearing that Montana Kamenga joined Quartier Latin. It was one of the reasons why the album wasn't well promoted

Yeah the album is from 2000, when he got fired from Big Stars. He recorded it with help from Sec Bidens who arranged the album for him.

Thanks for the info. Youtube said it was released in 2011...I trusted youtube lol....
If he made good money from this album and wasted it then he's not ready for prime time which why he was part of bands despite the fact that he's a decent singer....Do these guys generally waste money like this?

it are mostly bandmembers who do that. Going to nightclubs when having a big amount of money and buying alot of champagne bottles, battling against each about who bought the most and about who having the most women on his table. Montana was back then not poor because he used to live with his ex'wife Madova who was daugther a rich businessmen and them living in a big villa. There was no reason for Montana to hate on bandleaders who had big houses.

Motana didn't had the desire to start a solo-career. He was forced to do because of Defao fired he whole band. If he would start it would be difficult for him because everything in Kinshasa turned around the big 4 (JB, Werra, Wemba & Koffi). Although coming from K-V (Kasa-Vubu), it would be really hard for him to get support from fans
