Big bands such as Zaiko Langa Langa, TP OK Jazz, Choc Stars, etc. used to do that in the 1970s and 1980s. Even Wenge Musica 4x4 when started to get known. They would use Marie Paul, Manda Chante, Alain Mpela, Dello Bass and Alain Mwepu, etc. to start concerts to get joined by the rest later or Werrason and JB Mpiana starting concerts at different places and getting joined by each other. For whatever reason, this phenomenon slowly started to dissapear from the late 1990s with only Zaiko Langa Langa keeping doing it until that they settled in Europe.
