I could not get in touch with him directly because i am blocked over going hard on him about the brother's influence lol so i dont have much other choice that sharing since these days,a lot of internal stuff of artists pop on youtube and co so some of us here might have seen or heard stuff
so obviously there is the eclipse case of big money plus powder still not solved,then there is  a story where his brothers sold one of his houses to two different people as he had to make up for a collossal loss in his private business and one of the people used relationship to file a strong complaint making it that as soon as wazekwa himself who the brothers did it in behalf lands there is a strong likeliness of prison because his signature is on the papers,whether they imitated or not
then there is the fact that musicians are refusing to go back home for most and day by day the tensions which almost lead to the end of the group are coming back and what is more worrying if true because of the long time it can take to make a final decision is some dancers going to file complaint that they were raped in the era in which wazekwa tried to do everything like everybody,in order to get papers

I laughed a little when you said that Wazekwa blocked you. Given how much you were close to him is funny but also sad, because tbh I think you would have been the only person in his close circle to make him reason, with that said I don't know why dancers would lie on a man and say tha he raped them especially when Wazekwa is known not to play those stupid sexual games with dancers like other leader do and be respectful with his dancers, with that said, I think the whole group is gonna stay in Europe as soon as they find a way to stay. I think that the constant abuse they are taking from Wazekwa brothers plus the change in style of how the group is run will just hurt Wazekwa in the long run.

Their dad's death was the worst thing which could happen eversince that their narrative around their big brother is "us against the whole world" literally nobody has ever won a battle against them

Why the musicians don’t want to return?

because the band is pretty much ruled by the brothers and it will be back to square one with the bad treatment,and their brother genuinely disbanded the group before the musicians themselves not knowing what plan be to have after the guinea incident forced him to coming back into his own band by publicly announcing that they are all leaving,and the brothers  forced those who remained to do apology videos,then those who did not do it stayed outside of the group and are now siding with singer fleury fleur who decided to stay outside since he took the risk already of announcing the group had collapsed and knew that his relationship with vieux himself would be broken because of it and him being humiliated
the musicians are not happy at all from what i hear because they imagined a tour in order to make some mabanga and matolo money and today is two months and one day since they performed so they have to rely on family they have here or sugarmommies and daddies to have the bare minimum

I’m not a fan of musicians running away as it causes visa problems for not only the leader but other groups but in this ba kima na bango. Horrible management by Wazekwa and his brothers. What’s been going on with him the last couple years, he was supposed to be the “good guy” the “wise one”.

As soon as he lets them get involved,there is chaos,the original joss gessac and co crisis it was also them saying to him to say on mic during rehearsals i know you will leave this group and stuff like that  which got musicians looking at each other awkwardly

Is the group still in Europe?

yes,the first delegation which came earlier should have went back after 3 months to keep the visa valid,only eclipse returned then came back to find himself in prison and the other one i believe they must be very close to the 3months or above and none of the musicians want to go back and since wazekwa himself is apparently fearing to go back because he might face serious problems its perfect

Wait Cultur'A Pays Vie are still in France?

yeah they were meant to perform in belgium nederlands sweden and uk but none of it happened each of the musicians are either at a sidekick house or a cousin or their family for those who have some families here like joss who has his mother and some of his brothers here

Can't say I feel bad for Vieux.
As an owner of a company you need to take the lead and not let anyone not even family interfere with it.
With that said I think that in 20 years the Congolese music of bands will die because with the cost of life increasing it will be near to impossible to find grown man who feel good to be paid 100 dollar a month (if they get paid) to get 30 seconds of a vocal mabanga excluded.

Would you say this is the end of Cultura Pay a Vie? Because if they miss one or two concerts, doesn't that mean that other concert promoters will cancel their contracts and why would the group return to Kinshasa emptied handed especially with leadership issues through Wazewka's brothers?

If this is how Cultura ends, this would be an awfully sad and quiet ending. The Wazekwa camp has just been messy for the past year or so; a messy ending might be appropriate if how Wazekwa's letting his brothers control him and his band.

Another problem is the longer the group stays in Europe the most likely majority won’t return. We all saw how when Zaiko returned after being in Europe for years with majority not returning, F’Victeam key members didn’t return after being in Europe during Covid, nearly the whole band didn’t return but something happened which made them go back. Let’s not even forget QL with half the band not returning after the danger de mort tour, they were in Europe for like half the year.
