Secondly, I now conclude that from a personal point of view, JB is not great, he was only lucky that the beef between him and Werrason threw him in the view of Congolese music fans. JB would not be known today if it was not for that rivalry. He also took strength from Afande, Makaba, Titina etc.....the moment he was left by these great guys, his career has been on the downhill. It was evident when I swallowed a bitter pill during Anti-terro CD.
I have personally left dust to settle on JB, I no longer care about him like I used to. In fact I have realized that had I given him a red card long time ago, I would be richer in Congolese music and history by today. I worshipped him like a small curio God. I ignored Werrason, Wemba, Zaiko, Koffi not realizing until today that these other guys are great and have been producing better music. I have since opened a rhumba pub in Lusaka and I play all kinds of rumba music from all artists. What I have come to realise is that fans of JB are only 1% while most song requests are for other artists. That just shows how JB has fucked up his career. Its a pity really to see such a gem rotting with Kibense and Rio for 100 years.
