Times have changed, this was the era when people around bandleaders were seriously doing their best to promote their band, them also putting a huge amount of money. For example this one, producing cassettes. Emeneya had a strong team around him. If it wasn't them, then he wouldn't have existed anymore. They had an important role in the rebirth of his career in 1997 and his existence by keeping releasing cassettes, while people kept saying that he was finished. The cassettes they released during the Zenith-Olympia tour were also important. It's only sad that Nouvel Ordre flopped. Sometimes I wonder if Nouvel Ordre would have a different reception, if they produced it by themselves like Mboka Mboka & Longue Histoire instead of Lusafrica/Sony. Them overstaying in Europe and at some point not performing anymore must also be factor.


People taught that both guys were seriously hating each other, for the way Emeneya used to attack him strongly on tv. But people didn't know that Emeneya had still love for Koffi and them also visiting each other in private. The event that Emeneya proposed to Koffi of december 31th, to counter Wemba's Bercy, would become february 9th. However, the same Emeneya declined the offer while Koffi accepted it, when Madely came as concertpromoter, who was ready to organize the event "Koffi vs Emeneya". Probably because of them preparing Olympia and Koffi's bad reputation of stealing "aurau", when doing featerings or performing with him before big events. The event ended up by becoming a farewhell concert of Koffi Olomidé & Quartier Latin at LSC to finish their long Europe-America tour. If I remember well, Madely must be the same guy that was supposed to produce Dream Team's EP Contre Attaque and him "dissapearing" with the album. But Guy Moller being lucky that he had a copy of the EP to release it under JMC's label, but months later when the hype was over.



Lol, seeing the dancers dancing at nightclub/restaurant La Reference, made me think about Shaguy Sharufa's testimony on Casarhema a few dance ago. Where she said, that she used to put the meat that people used to eat at La Reference, between her legs, that people were drinking urine, demons being there, etc. But she isn't credible anymore, because some versions are different compared to the one she did with late Bolowa Bonzakwa 20 years ago and other journalists later. For example, Lise Manzambi asking her if Wemba would send her to finish other musicians and her saying no, because of Wemba becoming jealous. But 20 years ago, she claimed said that Wemba sended her to sleep with JB Mpiana and get his sperm to spiritually finish him, saying that that was the reason why JB wasn't the same anymore and Wemba refuting these claims when being asked about it by Francis Kakonde in 2006. I saw many people going hard on Sharufa on social media. Some even saying that they would sue her. But there were also some also defending her, for example Alimia Mongala, who said that he would soon do an interview with her in Lingala.

Ndeko, you're probably glad you never ate at her restaurant lmfao

Why is she talking about this stuff now? Is she born again Christian? If anything, I think these revelations are a way for them to monetize from their old lifestyle when the money dries up for them in secular music. Shouldn't they just retire to quiet life if they're done with the business of nkisi

I don't know what to say now hahahaha. My aunt always used to talk about a woman that used to sell mikate and goat meat next to 123 (OK Jazz headquarter), that the woman used to use "mayi ya bibembe", etc. (In one of Mbuta Likasu's interview, I heard that she passed away in big poverty). Also that I had to look out for barbers that received shout-outs of musicians, because of them bringing hair to bandleaders, etc. So I was first often avoiding bars and restaurants. But on the end I didn't mind anymore

She converted since 2003 or 2002 and did from that moment often testimonies, etc. She even went to TB Joshua to talk about her past as prostitute and drugdealer. But people mostly pay attention when she goes to big Congolese youtube-channels. I think her last big interview was 2 or 3 years ago on Congomokili. She's married to a pastor. I remember Papa Wemba being mad about it and singing the song Ye Te Oh! to diss Sharufa and her new husband.



The thing is that people who had a past in darkness, are afraid to die, since that they had done bad things to people, which why they always convert to Christianity. However the problem is that the people that are into Christianity made it a whole business from it and like to use ex'musicians, dancers, donors, etc. to lure people to their churches. Sometimes pastors even order them make some stories up. There are some people of Wemba's circle that say that many parts are mad up. But there also people that say that many stuff are truth. Qui dit vraie. The disavantage is that she is killing the business of Congolese people that are owning bars/restaurants. I already saw many people saying that they will not go to Mbuta Lombi, Djonga or Malou Bomboka anymore.
