In the Congolese music-scene they don't really care about loyalty. Only a little can go wrong and will thrown in the thrash.

There were moments that Jadot left, he left in 1977 to form Karawa Music with Esperant Kisangani, Bipoli, Julva and a part of Wemba's staff, then in late 1983 he went to settle in Europe before rejoining Viva 2 years later.

He was there in 1983. You can see him on the concert they made at Studio Maman Ngebi after the creation of Victoria Eleison.

Back in the 70s and 80s, they were only singing with 4 singers max or the formula bandleader+4 singers, never more than that. Only Langa Langa Stars was using 5 singers.

lol kanga motema spirit.

If you wanted to join Viva La Musica you had to be a real Yankee, smoke weed and kozala na esprit. If you was a yuma, you wouldn't spent 3 days there lol. King Kester Emeneya had a very hard time in the first months, he was often bullied by Bipoli, Esperant and Jadot. Wemba himself didn't had in the faith in Emeneya in the beginning saying "he sings well, but he's a yuma" and "comment nduleman akoki kozala na forme ya batu ya tchik boye".

It's very difficult to build up confidence but he proved himself in the early 80s until he started leading Viva in Wemba's absences.

yup. It already started when Bipoli, Esperant, Jadot and Julva left to form Karawa Musica. Which coincidenced with Papa Wemba going on a trip to Europe, leaving Emeneya and the rest behind in Kinshasa. Emeneya then started to get confidence from Wemba , when he came back from Europe and they recorded then Ata Nkale which was his first hit in Viva La Musica, becoming then also the second most popular artist of the band after Wemba.

Emeneya had more space at least his best friends Djanana and Dindo Yogo were good to him.

Esperant, Jadot & Bipoli would become cool with Emeneya when they rejoined Viva La Musica

True, it turned into a brotherhood relationship.

No. It was recorded when just left. Luciana’s solo album is by the way their first album.

I said that, because he says in a sentence like "we are Viva and we are behind le Kuru" 3 min 26
