I believe he's Emeneya's brother.

Someone send me Joly’s address … need to send him flowers. This is the kind of music that made us fans of the genre. It’s a real shame artists can’t even put one sebene song on albums nowadays ..

I know not all donors want rhumba for their wives/sidechicks. It takes more creativity and effort to put out a solid sebene song in comparison to modern rhumba

Yes, he is Jean Mubiala Emeneya's (aka King Kester Emeneya) brother.

He was like his brother a member of Viva la Musica. He joined the band in 1981. However, there were rumors that Emeneya wasn't happy with that. In 1982, he would with 11 other musicians of Viva la Musica (including Emeneya) leave the band to form Victoria Eleison "les 12 Apotres". In April 1984, when the majority of the band decided to leave to form Victoria Principal, Joly Mubiala decided to stay with his brother and Pinos. From that moment he became a keymember in Victoria Eleison. Joly Mubiala made 3 songs in Victoria Eleison, Amelo in 1987 which was a huge hit, Souris Cacharelle in 1983 which was also a big banger and the song Safi Santa in 1984. Altough being in the band of his brother there were rumors about about Emeneya not liking him and it was often reported that he was about to return back to Viva la Musica or join Choc Stars which didn't happen in those years. He would also receive sometimes 12 from his own brother. He was about to sing lead on the hitsong Ata Mpiaka of guitarist Safro Manzangi, but when being in the studio, Emeneya went to sing lead on that song.

In 1989 Joly Mubiala decided to leave Victoria Eleison and joined Choc Stars through the late General Defao. When coming in Europe with them, he decided to stay. After spending some months in France, Papa Wemba asked him if he could rejoin Viva La Musica which he accepted. In that period he released the album Terre Noire. It was not easy to get a place in the band, because there were like 12 singers and at that time they were just sing with 3mics with the one of Wemba. But he slowly started to get some space. In 1991, Joly released the album Cadeau d'Amitie which was a huge hit at that time. After the split of Viva La Musica in 1992, when musicians like Awilo Longomba, Luciana Demingongo, the late Bongo Wende, Fafa de Molokai (rip), Lidjo Kwempa and co decided to leave to form Nouvelle Generation, Joly Mubiala became more important for Viva La Musica. In 1994 sung the song Bravo Cathy from the Foridoles album in duet with Papa Wemba. From 1990 to 1997 he participated to multiple albums of singers, songwriters and sapeurs related to Viva la Musica. Altough being member of Viva la Musica, he participated as backround singer to all albums his brother Emeneya recorded from 1992 to 1997 (Reponse ya Polo Kina, Everybody, Live in Paris, Pas de Contact and Succes Fous). He even sung a duet with the late female singer Thethe in the song Naboyi Deception, although not being credited in the credits of Reponse ya Polo Kina.

In 1998 he released the album l'Amour du Ciel, which wasn't a big succes. He also participated to the nzong-nzing album of Ya Biso Moko, which was recorded by Nouvelle Ecriture and Viva La Musica together, having Madilu as guest star and the songwriter Roger Milla and arranger Sec Bidens as important participants. In that album he had the song Coeur Troublé on his name. The same year he was rumored to have left along with 8 other musicians, Gloria Thukadio and Stino Mubi to have formed a new band, being unhappy about the way Papa Wemba was focusing to much on Nouvelle Ecriture. But he still stayed in the band. Shortly after that he decided to become a brother in christ. Papa Wemba was really dissapointed because he wanted him to carry Viva la Musica "cour des grands" in the years that was about to come, being not happy with Stino and Reddy anymore. Wemba was a big admirer of his singing abilities and the capacity to arrange songs with guitar before bringing the final product to the band, while most singers don't even know how to play guitar or are limited when playing it. As a brother of christ he participated to multiple albums of gospel artists such as Mbuta Kamoka. He went even to Kinshasa to make some tv-appearances for churches of famous pastors. But after the death of Emeneya he decided to with the suprise of everyone to stop with it and decided to make a return to secular music. This made some Victoria fans and even musicians angry. Saying that he refused to sing for his brother on religious songs he recorded for his last album This is Me. The tensions were so strong that the band Emeneya left in Kinshasa. A part following Joly Mubiala and the other part who didn't want him as new leader of Victoria leaving. From then a big polemic/war starting for years, Emeneya-fanatics and even ex'musicians attack each other on tv and social media. Some ex'musicians even leaving Europe to support Joly Mubiala and perform with him, others supporting the original Victoria Eleison.
