I am pretty all over the place with different genres of music. But that I didn’t know Burna and Davido sound similar to pop in the US. I always check out their music but it’s never standout like Congolese.

Some friends of mine went and were impressed by the performance and theatrics at Stade de France. He even had Youssou N’dour as an opening act. 10 years ago who would’ve thought a Nigerian artist would sell out Stade de France before a Francophone African

While on the subject - Davido just released his new album Friday. He had worked on a song with Fally, but it appears it didn’t make the album cut. That featuring would’ve given Fally wider exposure. Instead there is a featuring with Dadju & Tayc.

Burna Boy did a great job by filling Stade de France. I don't think that any Congolese or African-Francophone artist will be able to fill at least 50% of Wembley Stadium in London. But yeah, they are not mainstream artist, that makes the difference.

Yesterday, many Fally fans posted a videos before the show started that nobody showed up, that Burna Boy would do mpiaka, etc. I was surprised when I woke up when seeing different videos of the show. However, many Congolese facebook-pages claim that it's still mpiaka. Some saying that it reminds them Heritier's show. In their logic a stadium must be sold-out and overcrowded with no space like those Stade des Martyrs-concerts. Some people even considerate Maitre Gims' show at Stade de France as mpiaka, just because of the space in the public, while Stade de France themselves pointed it out as a sold-out show. Many people don't know that there not alot of artists that sold Stade de France out even American artists. 60.000 specatators is already okay for Stade de France.

I am now wondering how Fally's show will be in 2026
