You could see that he was starting to have those health problems which eventually led to his death

It is so refreshing to see that all of the singers can actually sing and if you hear the song ls their live is the same as the song.
I wonder what happened to the guys on the stahe

In the interview his spokemen Richard Ekambo did, he said that Emeneya had already started to have health issues in 2004 (that it already started around 2000/01) and that he went to a trip to the Canada on his own back in 2005 or 2006 and that he collapsed in his hotelroom. He had also an attack in Kinshasa and when they went to the hospital, they said that he had heart-issues. But instead of going immediatly to Europe, he spent months in Kinshasa and kept performing.

In the same interview Mbuta Likasu asked the spokemen, why the singers didn't return and him explaining that Emeneya's healthissues restarted when the tour came to its end, which why everybody stayed in Europe

If I'm not mistaken, didn't he have asthma? His style of singing originated from coping with long performances and difficulties with breathing, but it's sad because he liked to smoke cigarettes and cigars. A lot of our legends weren't taking care of themselves. I think Koffi and Reddy Amisi are the first generation of artist to be mindful about their health, you see they still look good compared to their friends.

Since the start of Congolese music, there are musicians/singers that are disiplined and mindful about their health and those who are not disiplined. Koffi used exercise alot, but at the same time he had the reputation to drink alot of rum and wiskey. Within the music industry, it was known that Reddy used to use strong drugs (I don't know if he had changed)

The thing is that alot also didn't had the possiblity to go to Europe for health or them being broke and not having the financial possiblity to finance their healthcare and it being already to late when receiving help from politicians and donors or being sent to Europe on the last minute. Another is that in from the 80s many musicians contracted HIV/AIDS, which made many die young

That probably explains his temper, Reddy probably uses cocaine lol

Talking about AIDS. I hVe never understood if the rumors about Franco dying from AIDS were true or not tbh it is really said that he died that way, I wonder if his family and his kids had the same faith of inherit the fortune of his music and money like the Tabu's sons did.

Did you see that last public interview? He lost a crazy amount of weight and look gaunt. He died in Belgium, if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure there's a death certificate that can confirm the cause of death.

Talking about his temper. Denis Lutula recently complained about it in his last interview with Teddy Mola. He said that he Reddy used to insult and shout at them, when they were preparing his show for Bataclan and that Reddy would not even the half of Zenith, if he would play a show over there

AIDS is a huge tabou in the Congolese community. For family-members  it's seen as a huge humilation, if someone openly say that their brother, sister, dad, mother, nephew, niece, son or daughter died of AIDS, since they see it as "malade de la honte". Don't you see how people like to insult or taunt about x or y person having AIDS. 

About Franco, I think 10 or 15 years ago a close friend of Franco went to do an interview Thierry Dawa and said that he indeed died from AIDS without naming it (akufa na maladie wana), claiming that a Haitian woman contaminated him with it. I think that I also posted it 15 years ago. 2 years ago Sam Mangwana did a serie of interviews with PAM and in the last episode, he indirectly confirmed that Franco died of AIDS.
