very sad day for congolese music,he was very appreciated by his colleagues
my thoughts go to his family,to his "lipasa" koffi olomide he loved to call antos,to clan wenge who were massive fans of him, to wemba,to victoria eleison,to wazekwa and so on....
 A true legend has gone,may his soul rest in peace  ,very strange talking about kes' using the past....

R.I.P to the idol of all 5th generation musicians, it's hard to believe that Tabu Ley and Kester have gone almost at the same time, these are the two who the Wenge's looked up to.

Wow impressive from Werrason. He sounds very much like Emeneya so it totally makes sense for Werrason to give hommage. Since their voices are sort of similiar, Werra should be the one doing Kester Emeneya songs.

However let's not forget that Kester and Werra were never in friendly terms though they made a song or two together. Like here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIejb4A7Mdg

But it looks like Werrason and Kester Emeneya never gave any respect to one another. I am actually surprised considering that Werrason says himself that he really identify voice of Kester Emeneya though in my opinion Kester is a superior singer to Werrason. I also know Kester seemed to be impressed with Werrason when Werra was young. So for them not to get along is shocking to some and even myself that they were never friends.

Archos, I am curious to know how did the Kester Emeneya-Werrason beef began?

the circumstances of his death are not deeply detailled yet,but all what is well known here in france is that when tabu ley died kester was so affected that his heart could not handle it and  he went sent to emergency and the situation kept worsening
6 or 7 weeks after,three days ago,those who went to see him at hospital were told by doctors they would be the last people ever to see him "alive"on Earth and he passed away yesterday
and yes abel was in victoria for 3/4 years then he was allowed to join bcbg,through alain mpela

archos did kester have a proper family? If yes tell me about his family life please.Thank you.

i dont know how much kid kester had,but one thing which is well known in congo is that  he divorced two times with ex-women because his best friend in music koffi and his ex boss papa wemba slept with them(the wives cheated on him)
according to his close friends,these was one of the reasons of his serious heart problems(on medical side) of these recent years
apart from that,his first children was in the french army and was sent to afghanistan and received a bullet in his head and is struggling to survive and recover(another reason which worsened kester's health)

So sad indeed thank you DJ SLY for this video.
Yeah,it's a sad story, when you look at his facebook pages you feel really sorry, he was a young, handsome and physically fit lad and probably was into weightlifting but a bullet to the head left him completely different,it's like a quarter of his head was blown off. The medical teams which worked on him did a great job because the difference is major when you compare the photos.
