I have noticed that since our music has existed things often go wrong when artists decide to perform in Isiro and Kisangani. Three out of four times they get scammed by concert promoters. Some bands would even get stuck there for one or two months. It also happened that bandleaders would abandon their band there and go back on their own to Kinshasa with bandmembers going back, one by one with help from sugarmoms or by doing concerts, some would decide to get into Kampala (Uganda). This is why many artists avoided going to Isiro for decades. Kisangani only getting popular when the beer war of Primus vs Skol through public concerts started during the early 2000s
I heard that when Heritier went to perform in Kisangani during his early solo-years, that he got scammed as well, but spokemen acting on youtube and tv that everything went perfect. He went to Isiro a few months ago. I wonder if didn't got scammed
