I have noticed that he insists on playing some tokoos songs half the concert. He starts off with the more successful Eloko Oyo and then goes into those French songs like Nidja and Tout le monde danse. Am sure for him it's a way of promoting it. And the chicks like them. Like that headline says in that local tabloid
Even Ferre did this song for peace in the East of DRC.
Bandeko nabiso ya est, tobosani bino te oh. Na oyo ezakoleka lelo etali ba congalais nioso. Nzambe opesa Congo Richese, ba voisin basepelaka te oh. Tolembi ba violent oh, tolembi pe koboma.
The conflict in the East of DRC is complex with accusation and counter accusation of the neighbors (Rwanda and Uganda) of destabilising the region in order to benefit illegally from from the mining of coltan and other precious minerals. Its a sad situation and like Manzambi says you have to be near to the conflict for you to realise what damage has been brought to the peoples in these.
Another recent conflict is that of Pweto a region close to the boarder with Zambia were we had over 15 000 people displaced and crossing over to Zambia to seek refuge all because of conflict in that area. This is all because of selfish leaders who think that they are the only ones with wisdom enough to rule others.
I saw something related to Lobeso Mpota where he alleges that some leaders are spiritually blocking his album. Didn't watch the whole interview though. With us Africans it's very possible that these things actually happen. Mawa trop.
Even Grande Maitre Franco never performed with sun glasses from the few concerts i have seen of him. Didn't this phenomena of wearing sun glasses/shades even at night start with Clan Wenge? I find it weird actually that someone could be on set being interviewed but they are wearing shades. For the stage on concerts i would understand because they are some who are extremely shy so the shades help them cut the eye contact with the audiences but a proven musicians doesn't need to wear them because that's the only chance as fans we have to see our stars. One Example:
@Archos did you hear the shoutout Tata Mobitch and JB Mpiana in "Sante Nzinga" ? "Papa Cherie Oleki bango na kolata" and all the shoutouts to sapologues like Wemba, Kester etc. Wow am impressed by every minute of this album!
This video probably reinforces that statement with all those custom designs. Marchal Mukulu.
Why didn't Tata feature in the original clip of inspiration. Nice track from Lacoste and that voice from Tata is as funny as it is nice at the same time. #Throwback.
Hahaha. He would make a very effective debt collector. So all the leaders where in on underpaying/not paying the other staff except JB? since you mentioned that he would sometimes use his own money to pay them when they would go to complain to him president.
And I have always believed that it's difficult to be influential in a band if you are an instrumentalist unless you become the undisputed leader like Grande Maitre Franco and Papa Lutumba or Roga Roga. Since that as a guitarist or drummer you are not always in the spotlight.
And who joined earlier between Afande and Amelia? I have always thought that Amelia joined earlier but here on this this thread it says Afande joined earlier.
yes werra was the guy at the forefront(with his huge strategic sense and leadership abilities),jb was the image of the group and more into human relationships(which helped him in having most musicians with him during the split),makaba was the artistic mastermind who knew how to use each of them in order to make them give their best and fight againt their weaknesses(being an extreme perfectionist) but they were making important decisions together(with masela sometimes pissing them to death loooooooooool)
Had to dig out this thread. How was Masela pissing them off and why is it that he was less influential than the others even though he was Fondateur?
