These are useless awards organised by music critics/journalists and it is very clear that most Congolese music critics/journalists are not professional as they are good friends with musicians and have split loyalties. Each musician in Congo has a bunch of loyal journalists who provide coverage and it's all because the journalists are given favours by musicians and one way is by taking them along to international shows that's why you find that musicians take 5 journalists to a show in Paris or Belgium,the musicians organise the visas for these journalists,am sure they give them cash too so most people have always doubted the credibility of these awards,Kora awards have gone down due to the same politics and corruption.
