Rare concert Stervos Niarcos (RIP), Papa Wemba (RIP), Bozi Boziana and King Kester Emeneya (RIP)

Featuring the late Bongo Wendeeee on solo guitar! (RIP) I always wondered what kind of delay effect he used? It's sounds crisp like a piano
Mi-Solo Guitar: Matu Kabangu
Rhythm Guitar?
Bass Guitar?
Drums?

Where are the images ? Isn't it the legendary concert of Stervos Niarcos in 1988 at Palais du Peuple ? I haven't seen the VHS in ages. Only extracts on youtube.




It's sad how that video is rare, while its a historic concert. Its strange that nobody in the 2000s thought about making a re-issue version it for DVD and now the VHS being lost like many other VHS' of the 1980s and 1970s.

It was the same concert that Niarcos humilated Papa Wemba in front of everyone right ? or was it the day after when being interviewed on tv along with Wemba, Emeneya  & Bozi by Manda Tchebwa. Saying that he doesn't know Matsuda and that it was a fake brand. Also that he's from Europe and Wemba, Emeneya & Bozi just simple musicians from Kinshasa. Wemba then really being mad and decided not the participate to the remaining concerts that were planned in Brazzaville, Matadi & Boma, going back to Europe and recording with Modogo Gianfranco Ferre (Stervos' rival of that time) the song Place Vendome. The tour-promoter then decided to stop the project. Stervos Niarcos on his side recording Epaka Ekomi na 2ème Periode with Evoloko, but the album didn't had the same effect like Dernier Coup de Siflet and everybody saying that Wemba was missing and Evoloko's voice not fitting to the music of Stervos Niarcos.
