Bill Clinton's Olympia of April 2011 would have been a big mpiaka. I don't even think that they rented the hall. His music hadn't a big impact in Europe compared to the big succes he had in Kinshasa.
It doesn't make sense to tour in Europe if you dont have succes over there. Anyway in the dvd of Palpipation Total he annouced a bataclan for summer 2007 with Les Samourais but didn't come. His musicians would probably all run away. Before that he did a small show at Salon Wilson with europe-based musicians and co which was like a wedding-show.It made me remember when Roga Roga tried to do polemique back in 2011 by sending Rostel Bakwa on tv to attack Quetin Moyascko and saying that his concert was just a family-reunion hahahahaha
The thing is that after Miracles he immediatly went to Kinshasa to rely on the succes of it. Bill often said in interviews that he prefered to enjoy his succes in Kinshasa and work instead of spending time in Europe by eating semoule and standing minutes in long in the row at the municipality to short papers out like his collegues. Bill was lucky to have his sponsor Bracongo/Skol behind him and support from men like Zacharie Bababaswe him and his televison-channel (who had Ken Mpiana, Patcho RFI and others as journalist) to promote his stuff. He would extend that succes in Kinshasa with Kizoba-zoba. You will notice that when Ken Mpiana sometimes talk about the few atalaku who had succes in their solo-career he will always mention Bill Clinton and his album Kizoba-zoba as reference. But the problem is that Bill Clinton didn't had a proper team/staff Europe to promote his stuff compared to Kinshasa. He just had Jacquie Watunda and a few guys. While guys like Jus d'Ete Mulopwe (a big part went towards Fally) and Ferre Gola (although having joined Quartier Latin) had a big staff behind them, also many girls who were their fans and them immediatly defending them in Europe and defending their stuff when they started their solo-career. Even Celeo had a big team behind him in Europe. Another thing is Bill Clinton being atalaku and not a singer, which makes it more difficult, because apart generiques he doesn't have songs that could defend him. I think that that pushed Celeo years later when he started his solo-career to do promote his rumba's alot
hahahaha Brigade would never surpass Bill. The impact Bill had from 1998 to 2005 was to big. There will never come an atalaku with such impact. One day I will write an article about the impact and influence he had because people tend to forget it today and try to compare him with other atalaku's who hadn't the same impact and who never used to be trendsetters
