The people in Ngiri-Ngiri are furious against Ferre Gola for ignoring them, claiming that he's from Bandalungwa to counter Fally.

So Ferre came from Selembao (the Kitokomosi or Mitendi quarter) before coming to Ngiri-Ngiri ? Some people say that he was born in Kintambo other Lingwala or is the story that he's in reality from Boma or Matadi true (they are apparently also furious against him) ?

Why are Congolese artists like that ? Reddy always claims that he's from Yolo, while he's from Makala.  Don't they know that can push their area to the top, like Thythy le Vallois did with Masina and those old bana poto with N'djili ? Ngiri Ngiri isn't even a bad area, alot of artists come from Ngiri Ngiri.

this whole debate people have created is a bit childish,ferre said clearly that his musical career started properly in bandal which is undebatable (rumba des jeunes,pergola,wenge) and that he had studied in bandal
it goes to show people can create a debate out of nothing,since fally often uses recently the bandal reference only when he wants to say if he wants to go back to his old badboy attitude
basically they are talking about two different things but since it seems people are even waiting for an opportunity to see their doodoo in toilet to compare too...
and anyways hervé had been criticized by ngiri ngiri people for ages for not coming anymore and things like that like bill and like genta who is like ferre somebody who passed by ngiri ngiri at a young age
mosaka also says that ferre grew up in kintambo where his dad had 3 houses,his best friend being eric gola,ferre's elder bro from another mother
to be quite honest be it ferre fally  jb werra koffi or others each of them have history in at least 2 areas
you'll see that werra has history in kimbanseke bandal,jb gombe bandal,koffi lingwala lemba, fally matete kintambo bandal,ferre ngiri ngiri kintambo bandal...at the end of the day each of them for whatever reason feels or not strongly attached to one of their areas
look at jb and werra its barely as if bandal even exists anymore to them unless they have to perfom or nsone has to see frere patrice

They have time boi eh

Kinshasa is its own nation. So much dispute over areas in Kinshasa. I know because my parents always make a big deal about the quartier Lemba.

Bandal must be a special place, because so many musicians claim that quartier with such pride

It’s not special, its a normal place but the Wenge generation has been hyping their area alot and it becoming stronger when Fally and co came, while in past it was seen as normal and areas/quarters like Kintambo, Binza, Kasa Vubu (K-V), Yolo, Gombé, N’djili & Matongé being more popular. before that it was Matongé who was the most popular from the 70s until the late 90s.

Me I’ve never been to kin but it’s crazy the way clan wenge and fally have made bandal seem sometimes I want to go like it’s some magical sort of place looool

... and why is it that those from Matadi dont like being called Matadien? My elder brother told me of an incident he witnessed here in Zambia when Quartier Latin was here on tour somewhere around 2000 or 2001 when Jordan Kusa referred to Gyspon  as Matadien at the hotel and it ended in a fight between the two because Gypson didn't like being called Matadien?

There is nothing wrong with Matadi, but sometimes from Kin, since it's the capital city, act like anything coming from the inner country is backward.

Matadi is a town but it's not a big town, so a lot of ignorant people might tease people from Matadi by saying they come from a village.

This is what happened between Kusa and Gypson I imagnine. Gypson just got triggered. It's like people from NYC calling people from Atlanta country bumpkins. LOL.

So that is the reason why Lobeso always got treated like shit, him saying he is from the village and trying to add Mongo rhytm to Ndombolo music was his real sin, but is a backwards thinking to be honest lol

Jordan Kusa always just to bully Gipson for that, seeing him as a yuma and mbokatier on same time. I remember watching years ago the QL’s 14th Anniversary concert at GHK, Gipson waiting to get the mic to give some shout-puts, Jordan then refusing to give it and Koffi suddenly clapping in his hands for GHK.

Emeneya went trought same thing, when he joined Viva La Musica. Which made him being ashamed to say that he was born in Kikwit, the time that he was n2 in Viva La Musica and his prime-time in Victoria Eleison. It’s only when tribalism became strong during the  the late 2000s, that he started to reveal it.

Just back on topic,ferre arrived there only when his dad passed away when ma marie went to be with the father of guy and co
