I tried to explain to the owner of the account that Tutu did not create the dance, rather it was created by Bouro & Sequin Mpela and I believe Eric Ndombasi, then it went to Promise Musica, were future top atalakous of the 90's developed the dance, then took with them to their future groups.



Unsurprisingly, my comment was deleted, since an outlet with that many followers doesn't like to be corrected on facts. He also denied that Koffi used Ndombolo in "Wake Up" Fall '96 and that the chégues got a hold of the dance from one of the Promise Musica members in early that year.

Yes; these diaspora pages are very misinformed when it comes to history.

These are the same guys constantly glorifying the days when Mobutu was in power, despite most of them being too young to remember realities. .

I don't understand all these people acting like bands in DRC: You don't agree with me, I block you, or I erase you in the cae of the Social Network, if Congolese mentalità worldwide doesn't changes, forget about Ndombolo being listened worldwide, Ghana and Nigeria will Be always ahead of us.
