We have spoken about Young people in Zaiko, and how they helped to maintain a strong image in a world (The Congolese Music World) where Wenge Musica whom is built around maintaining a young presence and Fally whom is well known for his music but also cherished for his looks.
We spoke about what these youngins do to survive too but now I have wanted to speak about the old.guys.
Usually we know that Congolese musicians live through Mabangas, giving someone a shout-out in exchange for money or clothes but since making an album with a live band and with a lot of material is hard and not constant, how do the old people of Zaiko survives? For Example Doudou, the other two Papas who do animation (forgot their names) and the old guys in the singing department and in the musicians department too, how do they survive? Because to be honest they all seem nice in the videos, but we all know in Congolese music appearances are just what they are, appearances.
