Shamala, I know you love bcbg hardco.....but I have a strong feeling you came to know them after the split and probarbly started being in love with the band lately. I have known wenge musica during their formation days. I used to leave in chililabombwe, in the copperbelt province of Zambia. kasumbalesa, a congolese boarder town with chililabombwe was porous to so many cassette tapes and VHS video tapes of Zaire music including wenge musica. in my blood, I know the structure of how the band played music. today, you do not get the wenge musica pure style in the factions but at least JB and Blaise bula have tried. Werrason has gone far into fusing in other styles but still remains a wenge, because he has retained the belief and concept of entertainment which wenge was known for. JB has ditched that for lazyness and brotherhood which is bad for the music industry. his band has kept the same energy levels since anti terro and there has been no change since. come on, in congo, you can get a 14 year old street kid from the street, give him a loaf of bread, a new shoe and clothes, bath him, tomorrow you sing with him in some closed doors. the third day you are in kinshasa, goma, bandal, and he is shining on stage. It happened to ferre gola et tshikito. who is kibense, rio, jdl, chai, segiun mignon to the many hundreds to thousand hungry singers in the streets of kin?
JB will die the most talented but worse strategist congolese music industry has ever produced. this I will keep talking and talking until you look elsewhere or block ears.
