Released during a time when artists were recording one-take clips in their backyards, hotel rooms, during concerts... Kanda Bongo Man put together a clip with a budget which was then unheard of. Produced by a French film team and it was even playing on French music channels.
When soukous ruled the game and Kanda was Soukous king. Man 3615 Code Niawu is treasure, having made so many dance throughout the 80's-90's
Seems like they're still living in humble conditions. Sometimes the parents of musician prefer to stay away from their children's wealth; I wonder if it's the case here. They're very proud of him.
Someone should've told the interviewer to show Fabregas' parents more respect and chill with the mid-interview mabanga.
One can spen an entire day explaining the religion, basically it's the largest African independent church based on the prophesies of Simon Kimbangu.
Simon suffered greatly and fatally at the hands of colonialists after creating his own Christan movement. King Leopold II himself ordered that he be sentence to life in jail with something like 120 lashes, and he died after 30 years in solitary confinement. So he became a African Jesus in effect, with how peaceful he remained.
The Kimbanguiste church is the most powerful non-political body in DRC, even Mobutu did what he could to keep Simon's son Joesph happy, as there are millions of followers. And these followers donated lots of money religiously.
The movement remains as powerful as ever and people in DRC get goosebumps when they hear the name Simon Kimbangu because of his story
There has been this version that Werra was almost giving up on music after the split of Wenge but this does not feature here. It now appears Werra was up for the challenge straight away
From what a lot of people close to the situation even adolphe himself confirmed it werra was gonna retire in Canada
Famous donor Jean Jacques Mbua na Canada was even making arrangements for him to settle in Montréal until the intervention (pun intended) of people like Koffi, Photo Joel, etc.
It seemed so random he wanted to settle there, there's no music scene in Montréal
Is it me or are Didier & Seguin are looking more and more alike?
lol, the way he chases way his singers chatting in the background (2:20). I find it hilarious that he's convinced himself that he's a big, powerful leader
It's funny cause didier Masela, Adolphe and others have different versions by now MM was formed and this is never talked about
I don’t know about you guys but the one guy I trust 1000% when it comes to Wenge “who founded what” or “who actually did X or Y” questions is Fondé du pouvoir, Didier Masela. Also, Ambassadeur Kija Brown and Makaba.
Not only were those guys there from day one, they also remained level-headed when things went south for both WM 4x4 and the original WMM.
CM Prince, Didier did an interview about 2 years ago where he set the record complete straight with his characteristic bluntness.
I’ve must watched it 10 times now because he makes very interesting revelations and drops cold hard facts. Might be my favorite interview.
Aside from them being superstars to varying degrees, the reason why Werrason, JB, and Adolphe don’t talk about their separations is because there was overwhelming emotion for them when it happened and life immediately after.
Ambassadeur Kija Brown did a tell all interview with Ado Yuhe, but unfortunately it must’ve been deleted. He answered lots of administrative questions in that interview.
