The concert of Wenge BCBG in Lemba with the interview of JB Mpiana with journalist Zacharie Bababaswe talking about his last concerts and TH, at some point Zacle also interviewing Tutu Kaludji, who said that he won't animate anymore and became a singer, Alain Mpela and Titina, who went to attack Wenge Maison Mere and talking about their cars.



Wenge BCBG's second concert in Kinshasa after the short Europe tour of 2002, which would become their last one before receiving a ban for the Schengen Area. The concert took place at l'Esplanade de Stade des Martyrs, where since the Fula-Ngenge festival in 1999 meant to celebrate Wemba's 50th anniversary, a fancy-fair was taking place every summer year like FIKIN (2000 till 2003) and different bands performing there.



This is among the events that concertpromoter Claude Mussay "l'Homme des Grands Evenements" often like to brag about, next to the event at Palais des Sports of Werrason. Here Wenge BCBG performed in a boat in Peniche (Belgium), to celebrate JB's 31th birthday. This was when they came back from their Canadian-American tour and tensions already starting between Alain Makaba & Blaise Bula against JB Mpiana. Aimelia alluding to it when having his own interview. Before the show there was a press-conference with journalists and fans being able to ask questions and just before coming on stage JB Mpiana like other BCBG-members his own interview. In his interview he talked about the Wenge-split. The interview would create alot of polemic and Adolphe Dominguez would react the next year, when coming to Belgium with Maison Mere.

 

Wenge BCBG triumphal return after being 7 months abroad, JB Mpiana famous ad for their first event in Kinshasa and first concert at Salle des Spectacle of Palais du Peuple, a place where comedians and musicians often used to perform next to Salle des Congres, before Palais du Peuple became exclusively for politicians. The event of BCBG also took place, one week before the atrocities in Kinshasa (tozangi mayi solo), but them being lucky to travel to Ivory Coast the following week.

If I'm not mistaken, that tour of 98 was the longest time abroad for Wenge BCBG as a group? My mother was in attendance at the boat concert, that barge is popular for boat rentals.

Yeah you are right, because the one of Internet was 6 months (from Sept. 2000 til March 2001). The following two tours were short, the one after Bercy being 3 months  (sept. 2001 - December 2001) and that of 2002 4 months (April 2002 - August 2002), them starting in an European country to do their big Paris events 2 months later (Double trabendo and Elysee Montmartre).



The New Year Eve '99 concert in Abidjan is also back. But this is the first version that INA Congo uploaded and not the HQ-version of 2 years ago. I noticed that during those concert of New Year, the public always comes later



Wenge 4x4's last concert in Paris, before the tour got interrupted because of most returning back to Kinshasa with Masela and Werrason (until this day I wonder what happened)

Maybe Wenge Musica 4×4 work visa got revoked because that's unusual for a tour to abruptly. I've always been curious what went wrong as well...I suspect there was a serious disagreement about splitting money because Japonais ran away in Europe and the group broke up at the end of the year.

Although serious disagreements being there about money after the tours of 1991, 1992 and 1995, I don't believe that sharing money was the issue that time. The tour wasn't even finished yet and some concertdates got cancelled. Btw, it's only recently that I discovered that the recordings of Feux de l'Amour weren't finished when Wenge 4x4 returned and that in some songs bass-lines, rhythm and lead-partitions were played by Makaba himself, him just interpreting the way it was played on the pre-recordings that were done at Bobongo and adding his own flavour.

According Didier Masela, when doing his interview with the controversial Zorro Mabiala, Japonnais and late Mulala ran away because they didn't like the way Werra used to treat them during the tour. Back in those days, Werra was often saying with the musicians, being very strict with them and acting like a sherrif
