Les Marquis album flopped in the start. It became a succes at that moment they split. I think those leaders tries to curse that album.
Wenge Aile Paris’s Molangi Ya Malasi was a huge succes in 1991 with fanclubs based in Kinshasa promoting that album.
Then you got Nouvelle Generation (of Luciana Demingongo, Awilo Longomba, Lidjo Kwempa & Bongo Wende) in 1992.
Reddy Amisi with Queen Lina, Injustice & Zakina.
There are many examples. It’s just that the succes of Le Carré Magique killed that thing of musicians based in Paris having succes in Kinshasa without coming there to promote their album.
Zaiko of 1970 was inspired by Los Nickolos, which was band based in Belgium of Congolese students. Koffi stated many times interviews they were his rolmodels.
