I seen it but didnt really understand the scene. Whats the gros bb song about ? I assume its the song thats wrong in this picture because dont people back home usually play music at funerals?

Congolese people see death as a sad fact, yes, but also an happy one because you are reunited with our famous Koko (forefathers). Death to the Congolese culture it is the pass for an Ancestral power, your name will be remember, respected and passed by of generation in generation, in fact if you check all the Congolese chants dedicated to happy without understanding the words they seems like it is party material, the classical Ah Mafuidi and so on. So it isn't surprising seeing people dancing at funerals, bands getting invited too at the funerals.

Sure... but unless the deceased special requested Gros BB... it’s not exactly suiting for the nature event.

Papa Wemba’s mother, Extra Musica, & the earliest QL members got their start as mourning singers/bands at local funerals. The one thing that’s constant in DRC is death.

On the subject, I remember seeing footage of people dancing to générique Solola Bien at a funeral like it was a concert at Zamba Playa. Can’t find it now, but it was something surreal to me

It is because you are not deep into Congolese culture I mean for me it is natural to see people dancing at funerals, I wouldn't do it cause I am not a very dance in public guy, but when I die I definitely want Werra and Koffi to sing for me while people dance.

Bro, I’m Congolese. I think it’s has more to do with family tradition and sects. My family in particular is not outgoing enough to have is practice

It I'd normal not all Congolese people are the same, but I can say that is the American equivalent to when Biggie died and people started to throw his jams
