Title: RIP SHAKA KONGO
Post by: archos on January 28, 2024, 12:34
Much maligned and ridiculed as somebody who likes artists to die and earn money in funerals organization
a crucial figure behind the scenes who helped a lot of artists for legal steps with authorities and all that,cases like when wazekwa tried to jail lisha shombo,when koffi jailed ferre and so on,knew a lot of deep dark secrets of the industry which he was often threatening to expose but was restricted by authorities who wanted to protect their relationships with artists
and also for those who are old enough to have seen him he was a good traditional music singer and dancer before deciding to abandon his career and care about difficult cases around artists

he used to be in stukas of lita bembo  long long ago then went solo and had a song which was famous back in the days about democracy when it "started" at the turn of the 90's

https://youtu.be/4wZ_WOUU0Ms here was him with the bald head reuniting with some old stukas members to sing one of their hits few years ago
