i d more say that even if wenge "brought" it ,it coincided with a massive downfall of mentality among congolese people, you can check in every aspect of our society people are much much more evil that in the 1990's,much much more competitive which made kindoki completely blossom, you can now how peanut sellers sending mbasu to each other at the same moment that the office guys are entering all sorts of lodges to have a good position in their company
and its so true that most our artists change when they are abroad or talking with people from abroad,while in drc you will see situations where fally ended up talking well of ferre a bit too well going even as far as naming his favourite ferre songs then calling to get it removed after hearing his staff talk or channelling his inner esprit wenge rando ti na suka,and same with ferre
the roles of the staffs is big too,if our artists knew how to unite their congolese staffs would have 5 people and not 45 50 people with only 2 3 having a clear role ,the conflicts give those guys a lifeline
funnily enough those as much as wenge get the blame for causing division,the two biggest wenge ambassadors jb and werra are the best example of how polemic should be (at least the way it became in the last 10 years gradually),their spokesmen can insult each other as much as they want over a certain period it does not change anything between themselves and they end up shutting people's mouth being seen together
their problem is that they want crazy money to do things together which is not quite compatible to their current position,in africa promoters only tolerate madness in contracts when you are in your peak with everything flowing at crazy pace
they started planning something together "for free",written by their friend kibens on some songs and late shela but they were very hurt and discouraged with the way press treated their reunion at grand hotel
