I also would like to know what happened to these dudes below:
Kene Kene
Academie des stars (europe band of around 2010s)
Spoon Macintosh
Nicodem
Jordan Kusa
Didi Kalombo
Chai Nguegue
Boussole
Kene Kene is jn Belgium he bought a house and does music on occasion he did a feature with Willis Tengaishy a Belgian based Congolese artist
Nicodem is in the States with his wife/girlfriend with no plan to going back to music
Jordan Kusa as Mopao1995 said had a weird case(pedophilia case) in the States where they don't play and is whereabouts are unknown tbh a lot of people are saying it is true, but we can't confirm nor deny the rumours, he did a song some years ago with YouTube bought views but ca t find the song anywhere last month he released his latest song
Didi Kalombo rejoined Wenge BCBG and you can see him in the Zebuka video
You can see him at the left part screen close to JB with black glasses at 00:47
Hear his latest interview
Chai Nguenge left Wenge BCBG ND slowly allinged himself with Werra, it has been more then 10 years since he promised his first solo album but still to this day nothing
He released first a generous in a King Emeneya style
Which unfortunately I can't find
And recently released a generique
Two years ago but his biggest song is the featuring with Werra in the song l'Homme Qui Assure
Which iz unironically the most I have seen Chai dance and moving in his whole career
Boussoule left F'Victeam after he got slapped I don't remember if it was Fally or if it Was Djino Liaki, I think it was Djino Liaki
I am trying to find information or interviews about him but it is like he disappeared
Wow quite extensive reply. Thank you...
I used to watch this Did Kalombo accoustic sebene which I though was promising. This is goes to tell you that going solo almost never works even if you have what it takes. Clip is 18 years old...
I think Kene Kene has come to term that he could never replace Bill Clinton and would never reach his level in animation. He should do more features. Although I wonder if he ever thought about a reunion with WMMM at any of the converts. He did well in that feature...
Jordan must think he is Africa where things go unreported or unpunished. If he returns to the US, they can still prosecute him if allegations against him are true.
Nicodem not returning to music is surprising but sometimes you have to know where to draw the line. I wonder if he does session music at least.
I forgot to add thst he had a song jn Balle De Match called Chinois
But mainly because I hardly listen to rhumbas tbh with that said the thing about Solo career in Congo is that you need to have a combination of three things, Money/Donors backing you up, Charisma/Looks (the reason why Fabregas despite not being as good looking as Deplock with his charisma was able to have success for a long time, unlike Deplock who despite the good looks lack rhe charisma needed to be a solo star) and exposure, meaning that people need to know you, if you are a singer at JB's Wenge BCBG, tbh you can forget the exposure, and even if you are charismatic, people will be too focus on praising JB in whatever he does and example is Fusee one of the most charismatic Atalakus I have ever seen but yet he only partecupsred in one album Balle De Match,
5:50
6:01
a Maxi Single Ecchaufenent Avant Match (Maxi Single are the Congolese version of an EP)
1:41 One of the best introduction of an Atalaku's first album's crie ever tbh
:
4:25
and a generique commercial AD pf Primus Kiyunguzuna
One of the most underrated generique by JB tbh especially the last minutes
2:48
While Ambiunce in a similar time participated in Fleche Ingeta,
1:53 shirt version
Longer version
07:35
7 Jours De La Semains,
00:04
Even tho I think Se Na Se is better and extremely underrated
Sans Poteau
00:34
Little out of topic
Man I would have love to have loved to gave Mipende with Ambulance replacing Bercy with ambulances cries
so 4 album's
And other 2 singles with Werra one with another AD of Primus Petite Ya Quartier
2:54
And the other single Being a Mashup of all the Wenge MM old Animatione Bonne Anna Live A La Zamba Playa
00:34
Without counting the 7 years in Team Wata where he participated at 2 album's Mi Ange/Mi Demon
And Chemin De La Gloire
1:32
Plus 2 singles
5eme vitesse
00:16
Wosso
1:56
So if a to.orrow other wa t to go solo who do you think will have more chance to shine? In Wenge BCBG you go there knowing that you are a crutch to JB 99% of people who are in BCBG asAtalakus or singers are there because they are fan of JB first and then whatever singer or Atalaku they are it is like when Dybala said I want to play with Messi, when asked why he refused to play with Italy knowing that given the similar role he went get the same time of playing in Argentina national team that he would with Italy.
With Kene Kene I think the fault is on Werra, Kene Kene actually was singing in an extremely different way the what we are used to, he was singing extremely melodic in fact there is a footage of his first test in Maison Mere and the voice was extremely melodic in fact in his solng Bolingo Complique you can see this voice coming back
About features the thing is outside of an already small Congolese part of the community Kene Kene isn't Bill or Celeo it isn't a guy who can attract features easily, and about him copying Bill the fact is that after that Golden generation left around 2093/2004 with the expecting of Celeo,Kapaa, Karol and some others Werra I don't know why decided to just search for copies, so you had Kene Kene the copy of Bill, BonBon the "copy" of Ferre, a J3 the "copy" of Mabiala, and so on, and still go this day Werra never changed the system for example Arnake was the copy of Ferre again, Nicodem against the "copy" of Serge Mabial, Jamiauqe the "copy" of Bill that new guy who animates like Roi David "mother copy of "Roi David" and so on, which tbh is getting boring because how can his Create a strong team whe they are rhe copies of copies.
About Jordan case tbh I don't know, Congolese community despite all of the defects we bring we rarely commit those very bad acts especially when outside, I think (my personal opinion) that he is guilty, because tbh Jordan I don't think he is a rich man, and he js not as famous as his Quartier Latin days, so for what reason people should lie on him on such a serious caseM I think he is guy even tho is entirely hard to find information on the case because u.tol na investigation is made it is just Hear say
