It's a shame that artists/bands like Koffi Olomidé, Général Défao, Quartier Latin Academia, Extra Musica and JB Mpiana didn't tour in the French West Indies,  like Soukous-artists used to do, when the world got contaminated by the Ndombolo-virus.  I don't remember if it was Lidjo or Maray, but one of them said that Awilo got the chance to perform in  French Caribbean, just because of his ex'wife being from there. Ignoring that Awilo toured there in the late 1980s with Loketo of Aurlus Mabele, which made him networking with the people from there.
