Flamme is the most underrated musician and probably could’ve rivaled his peers in popularity after he left WMM but he was so enigmatic. Maybe it was the nkisi. Soul-sol gave both Lacoste and Kapaya creative freedom and a major boost but it went to their heads. In Flamme’s case he was too busy trying to leave his ndombolo days behind while trying to go solo, it didn’t work. Which is why I strongly believe is the reason why he ran to the church, which seems like the norm among failed artists.
