In december 1989 Papa Wemba came to Kinshasa with Reddy and Stino for some series concerts for Bralima (Primus) to finish the year and celebrate 1990 with them. Bralima was happy with it and they made alot of money. It made them decide to invite them in 1990 once again to open the year 1991 and for not only concerts in Kinshasa, but also in Matadi and Brazzaville. Once again Wemba would bring Reddy and Luciana with them (Stino would show up this time). But the shows would be different. This time they would be fara-fara’s at the same stage with rival King Kester Emeneya and Victoria Eleison, they had also to sing along on the same stage.

Years later Emeneya would jock about the way in 1991 he lost against Wemba in his famous interview with journalist Francis Kakondé the way he lost against Papa Wemba in 1991 with Sape. Him being stuck for 4 years in Kinshasa and not being able to get fancy clothes, while Wemba came from Europe and killed him with a 3 piece costume

Imagine if JB Mpiana did those kinds of fara-fara at the same stage in 1999, 2000, 2001 & 2002. They would make a lot of money.

I wanted first to put the whole part about Emeneya talking about his fara-faras's against Wemba. But the image of the fara-fara in Lubumbashi '85 that Emeneya won got deleted from youtube. There is only one of bad quality, with the part of Wemba copying James Brown when singing Bokulaka and being dressed in short pants, but there was not the part when Wemba really calmed after that Emeneya showed his pairs of shoes. Emeneya's revenge of 1991 at Villejuif isn't on youtube, only a small extract. His second victory of that year at Bataclan doesn't include the images that he was talkig about during the interview with Francis Kakonde. Ingenieur couldn't upload he whole concert, because his VHS was in bad state. At the start of the video, Koffi Olomide came in being dressed in a djellaba, having the role as arbitrator for the fara-fara at Bataclan and there was a part of Wemba saying to Emeneya that Emeneya's Versace blouse is worth 11.000 franc francais.


Seeing that it was Wemba's anniversary 3 days ago, I thought that he ok to just put the part of Emeneya explaining his defeat against Wemba in 1991 with part of image where he got humiliated and letting the rest of story out from the video






Going about the concerts in Zaire that took place for Primus. I noticed that they overpraised Papa Wemba and there was not any publicity about Emeneya, while gim being his opponent in those shows and also being sponsored by Primus. It remind me about the way Emeneya used to say in interviews that there was a conspiracy going on against him after Nzinzi. It's a shame that nobody asked him about the period 1987-1991 when he was alive nor former Victoria Eleison musicians.
