343.400 views in three days for a song who has been out as audio for months

238.400 views in three weeks for a song that at the time was new and the comment in the Nouvel Horizon even dissing Riga to some extent, I am sorry for him but it is over, Nouvel Horizon will have a lot of open doors, since they seem to be a group where aren't leadership issues (mainly becuase they are under a label, because we know how it would have turned out without one).

I doubt your point here.

Manzambi when are you releasing some music yourself so we can talk about yours views

Lol, I will not release music for the next two years but I will come back with a three song Maxi Single

But I am releasing a book soon and then you could judge me on how much that book sales lol

I doubt your point here.

Yes but Horizon have that spark and people love them organically ROGA Riga star is starting to die

We can't say that it's over for Roga Roga. Roga Roga has now a dip now, but the difference between Rogatien and Nouvel Horizon is Roga having a solo-career and Nouvel Horizon being a band. We have seen in the history of Congolese music that legends like Tabu Ley, Papa Wemba and King Kester Emeneya had dips of 3 years some even more than 5 years, but made a strong comeback. Nouvel Horizon can split every moment. Its rare to see rebel-band last more than 5 years. Back in 2006, they also said that Roga Roga was finished, but they already split before he could react.

So someones over because of their number of views?  LOOOL Views doesn't mean anything 

To some extent I get Manzambi's point, we will ignore those views but they save as a new system to prove who is selling currently, I know we wouldn't love to accept this cause people do not like change, but this is the same system used in US Tv stations etc those series we love are renewed not based on how good they are made, but based on how much views they attract. Like it or not views matter more than anything currently, there is no point of being good if there isn't anyone consuming your work. Even those artists they don't put those videos online for fun, they want those views like nothing else. People currently prefer Nouvel Horizon over Roga's extra I think its mainly because of atalakus

Damn, his voice never quite recovered. Listen from 4:33, but I would still love to see a reunion concert with the entire group from their 1996 lineup

It's not just Atalakus but their whole vibe, I have followed an Interview of Roga and his new Extra Musica and was quite sad to watch, the typical answers to difficult questions who don't address the problem and just make the leader look good, they asked him Roga why your views have dwindled? And him well because they buy their views, another question was Roga why Congolese Brazzaville Music isn't popping like in the past? Oh that's fake you say that but I have message from Botswanese people in my DMs so that's not true, the usual subtle diss to Sonor and Ramatoulaye calling the New Drummer Sans Alcohol lol etc. And to be honest is boring to see a grown man play the victim and never addressing his wrong doings plus bro, it was so sad to watch the group laugh at command whatever Roga said you could see that they were total Muppets under Roga control
But at least he admitted Durell Loeumba, Espe Bass and Him where the co-founder of Extra Musica






While watch the vibe Papy Bastin and Ramatoulaye have
3:19

I always wonder why guys with high pitch singing style in Congolese music end up losing their voice after a wild.

Damn, his voice never quite recovered. Listen from 4:33, but I would still love to see a reunion concert with the entire group from their 1996 lineup

Wow. This is really sad. He totally lost it.

What do you think Roga is missing? Is his band too afraid to push him give up a little creative control. It seems like Nouvelle Horizon is a group effort as opposed to Roga dictating to his band how they should sound.

People forget that Trop C'est Trop and Shalai sounded different from anything prior, because Roga gave Sonor more space to play. He let a mi-soloist play alongside them, instead of the standard set up
