I believe we have a few Congolese people on this forum so mayb if you rephrase your question. Do you want to know who actually is based in Kinshasa now? based on my knowledge,most of the Congolese brothers and sisters we have here are based in Europe and the USA,we may have a few in South Africa and Kenya too based on the IP  locations I see.

I see what you mean. Archos has answered well, it's through links ie friends etc and research that we all get info like for instance a few weeks ago I was at Maestro Bar in London and there was a heated discussion about Defao and the rumours that circulate around him. There was a former Big Stars singer who did an interview on tv recently and from what I learnt, he said quite a lot of false stories about Defao,from the issue of his relationship with Kabila and how he eventually left for Kenya. In attendance at that discussion was Renato,Defao's former soloist and Vieux Claude who is Defao's former bassist. Both guitarists spent a considerable time with Defao and travelled places with him, I learnt quite a lot from the discussion, I intend to do a story on it soon coz I can't remember all details as we were drinking heavily on the night with the band.
