Foggy Taureau "Le grand petrolier finance".... I know lots of them just went broke or died. One of the first things they did when they struck fortune was get mabanga and songs in their names. I also don't hear Alvaro Mwanza, Papy Kanza "Black Look", Benson Mambika, Clara de Bruxelles, Semblo Mataba, Ibrahim Shako, Ben Betitio, Daky Biongo, Alain Dizoizo etc

Even if you go broke you still got songs in your name to reminisce I guess. Other just lost interest... i don't really hear Adam Bombole like I used to

I know someone like Dede Maupasa just stopped getting mabanga after he was caught on camera with a prostitute in Lubumbashi, where he is powerful. Jose Kongolo was the one of most powerful mère na Poto, because she had so much money to spend

I know Teka Diamona is/was the wife of Patrick Diamona who was real close to Koffi and a politician. She had a business enterprise of her own like Tabou Fatou

I only know that Riva Menga "Hero dans l'Ombre" died in 2002, in a car-accident after being followed by the police. 5 months after that JB Mpiana released the song Consolation for him which was dedicated to his late brother Raph Mukuna.

@mvulusi96

Damn, that's insane! What was he doing that had the police chasing him down like that?!

The landscape of Congolese music has changed very much, so I would imagine the names of patrons would as well. If I'm not mistaken, Tonton Jacques passed away a couple years ago...we could be wrong tho

No, serious. Eh

He was getting alot mabanga's in early 90's and late 80's.

I remember him having a interview with Didier Masuki some months after Emeneya's death. Explaining that Koffi and Kester became the best friends again before he died. Revealing that when he and Wabelo Rango came to vistit Koffi (Wabelo came to buy a song for Cindy's album), Cindy coocked then pondu ya libombando and he confirmed that  she's Koffi 2nd wife. He also explained that they are the guys who made Chateau Rouge famous (he and Modogo Gianfranco Ferre) and saying that it was then a good place to do "some business" there, since that he was living next to the metrostation. With Emeneya making it more famous by saying it in the song Willo Mondo (if I'm right)

annie dembo is being mentioned by ferre and i think ferre,she used to be close to werra and maison mere and they falled out i think over her not doing one mission or something like that( the era where people stole stuff for musicians) i remember a malewa footage where she was put on mabanga list and nsone said with an agressive voice erase that name ASAP
 quite a lot also of them guys became combattants either for conviction or for anger given how  for them with "their money"  for example jb koffi and werra are not too far from a combined 60 houses in kinshasa alone

She was doing the same job like her girlfriend Tabou Fatou. I don't know if they are still doing it. Alot peoples in the Congolese community hate her because she made apparently victims. I remember Labouche posting a picture of her with everybody being commenting angry.
