Today, both Fally-camp and that of Wenge 4x4 have behind the scenes a project about performing at Airport Ndolo, after Pope Francis holding there a holy mass there when visiting Kinshasa a few weeks ago. But do Clan Wenge realize that Adolphe already started talking about performing at an airport 24 years ago ?



from 2:15 min

Here Adolphe Dominguez got interviewed by late Ilunga Mwana Buté, to talk about their show at l'Esplanade de Palais du Peuple. Adolphe says that he doesn't know where to perform anymore after performing at l'Esplanade de Palais du Peuple in front of 120.000 spectators, adding that its more than the crowd the pope John Paul II had when coming in 1985 and 3 times more than the show at Stade des Martyrs (I guess that he confused the capacity of Stade 20 Mai with that of the then new Stade des Martyrs, them considering the tribute-show to Pepe Kallé as their own concert). After that he says that Wenge Maison Mere should perform at an airport when coming back from Europe, because he says that there are no place anymore to perform where they can get a bigger crowd. Adolphe would repeated the same words when coming to London, Brussels and Paris when being asked about their show at Palais du Peuple. Now 24 years later, I don't think that he remember what he said at that time, when talking today about Wenge Musica wanting to perform at Ndolo Airport. The problem is now if they will manage to get a big crowd over there.
