If you take a closer look to every congolese song you can hear a lot of name dropping which is called Mabanga, a system where you pay money for your name to be spoked on the song, most of the guys and girls paying big money for mabanga are entrepreneurs or presidents of some very important activity that want their name to be pubblicized in a fast way but for all the other guys and girls that regularly put their names in the song how much do they pay for a mabanga??? And a musician can live only of his mabanga money?? (I am not talking about leaders, but only songers, atalakus ,dancers and other musicians)

 mabanga is between 500 and 1000 for band members or are replaced with gifts, and also lets not forget in some groups there are guys who cut a part from it

From 500 to 1000 Franca right?

 No,dollars or euros but like i told you it does happen that leaders bully them over that money you can see songs of musicians with  max 5 to 10 mabanga for them and the rest for the boss 
then you have guys who will let you have it all and only mention their very close friends for free in those songs

funny to notice how that phenomenon has expanded to other african countries !!

So making some operations, a High profile atalaku like L'obeso can easilly take for 20 mabangas of 1000 dollars 20000 dollars? If it is like that being an atalaku or a singer is very advantageous.

normally yes,but then there are two factors, the first one is the fact some guys want to take a certain part of the money and the second factor is how sometimes the guys who want mabanga do not pay,they promise and the guy mentions them but then they start messing with them,this is how also on some songs you can see that the song is like split in two parts because the first guy did not pay the full amount so another one pops in and gives the rest
its quite funny those situations especially as it does happen that they do it like that with people who are actually rivals
