The video of how Wenge Maison Mère was received in Paris before Bercy. I don't believe there will ever be another band or bandleader who will receive such a reception in Europe, from the airport all the way to Château Rouge.
The way late Mère Malou is looking to Sankara lol. I wonder what she was thinking about Sankara.
The thing that took my attention in this video is the way fans and staffmembers receveid Werrason and bandmembers, but nobody being there with Adolphe only two people.
55:30 min Looks like late Eric Kenzo wasn't happy that JB Mpiana gave him a shout-out on Laureats 2000 while being a Maison Mère-fan.
The way people in Europe prepared to welcome musicians, help them financially and materially out during their stay in Europe (1999-2002), had also some negative influence on family lives, relationships, etc. Many divorced in that era, women cheating on their men with musicians, men prefer to spend times with bandleaders or influent bandmembers, children getting neglected, teenmoms appearing, etc. It's from there were the hate against musicians slowly started. Those who helped musicians out thought that they would get the same support as them when coming in Kinshasa, only to be decepted when arriving there and being humilated by bodyguards, realizing how many money they spent on them but not their own family. It's from there were the hate against musicians slowly started. Those who were already not liking musicians, were saying that those supporting them and getting bands from the airport, were killing the value and myth of "Bana Poto". When the success of their concerts started to decline from 2003 onwards, some cassettes were released with people complaining about it. Even Zacle talked about it in a video he made with Martin Mapangu
