This might have been brought up already Im sure but in the same lane as Get Rich or Die Trying, 8 Mile, Ray, The Temptations, the Jackson 5 series and other biographical movies; what movie from our culture would you really really wanna see? Maybe its a story you know about but feel you dont know enough about.

I personally would love to see the Zaiko story. The very beginning the creation until the first couple splits. I dont too much care to know what happened in the 80s and 90s but would love to see a movie about how the founders met each other, how much work they had to individually put in, the strength of each member, who came up with the first couple songs, that type of thing.

Think it would also be good because after that it could lead into another Papa Wemba movie, that would be closer to his life than La Vie Est Belle.

I think Franco’s story would be interresting as well, from moving to Kin and learning how to play the guitar to starting to sing in a few bands all the way until Franco would be a fantastic story I think. With all the trials and tribulations, prison, the first defections from OK, the guys from Bantou, Youlou, Madilu, his relationship with Papa Simaro Lutamba.



(Maybe in 10 years we can all get together, pick a story, write it and do everything we can to make it possible, because if we wait.... lol no telling how long it would be, but wither way would love to see those beautiful stories on the screen, doesnt even have to be the big screen)

Koffi and wenge

Koffi and wenge

If it's a Wenge movie, then I believe Ambassadeur Kija Brown would be the screenwriter then. He's the only one that was there from day one and who has remained impartial.

kiekie, for Koffi... Fiston Sai Sai would be the first to arrive at auditions since he loves trying to be Koffi

 matebu there is a project about a movie of wenge but it faces the same stupid ego problems reunion concerts face,some of the leaders think some people have no right whatsoever to consider themselves a part of wenge

The story of the 80s lineup of OK Jazz would be dope. Starting from the recruitment of Madilu to the death of Franco and the subsequent breakup.  What a hell of a story.  Emongo Luambo and Lutumba would have to serve as Exec producers.

Like ppl you guys said earlier...the begining of Zaiko LL(which can be used as a base for many sequels...Isifi,Yoka Lokole,Viva ,Victoria,Historia,Choc Stars, Familia Dei) and the Wenge

But I would also like to see the misterious Trio Madjesty and a controversial bio of Koffi Loool

The Wenge Musica Movie would be interesting! from formation till present day.

Zaiko !

Zaiko gave the genre too many legends !

Zaiko !

Zaiko gave the genre too many legends !

Exactly. Thats how I feel. That movie could be epic if it could be a big production and end up on netflix. So many came from the Zaiko school it would be easy to do sequels. But I think a movie until the first split, would be epic in itself.

Franco would be my second choice because there were so many events in his life

Wenge idk if it would be a good movie because there wasnt that many life events in their 4x4 days other than the one guy that died (God bless his soul, forgot his name) and the Saddam Hussein events. And I’m sure members of Wenge wouldnt wanna talk about the Saddam Hussein events or have those events on the big screen.
Maybe if they did a movie on Wenge from Pentagone to the split, with the breakup and the money issues and both leaders having to make new teams more so werra but yeah.

After reflection I would rather see a Werrason movie rather than a Wenge 4x4 movie. A movie from the beginning when it was just him masela and aime bwanga jean bedel. It could include when they recruited Jb mpiana, the split with aile paris, then the dry years, pentagone, the split with BCBG, how he was left for dead, recruitment of Bill and the others all the way until Solola Bien. That would be something.
