Z-Ndule did a good job, but I feel scammed lol after discovering that the concert was released in two parts. It's all Tata Mapassa's fault. I hate that volume 1 & 2 stuff. Volume 1 was already hard to find, so I don't believe that we will ever get volume 2. Unless Tata Mapassa decides to create a youtube-account and upload all videos of theconcerts he organised in London.
It crazy to think that it took Koffi 4 years to made a comeback in London, while most people of his staff used to live there. What happened did ? Did he do a Bouya-Mayola trick lol.
Having seen the few extracts on the Droit de Veto-VHS, the one of M6 and TF1, I think that it good show better than the one of Brixton Academy. But It's not easy to put a show at a mythic hall in middle of the tour. There is less time to prepare, compared to the shows who are prepared in Kinshasa and there is also less hunger among the artists. I think that it motivated Werrason when he wanted to perfrom at Palais des Sports, JB Mpiana at Olympia after his Zenith and later Papa Wemba at Olympia after performing at the same Zenith, to put more effort to give a good show.
Somono isn't animating well and the sebene is slow compared to other concerts of this tour. They were performing like it was a normal show with improvisation. The one of 2002 had really fire and was well structured.
The one of 2002 is by far better, this one is missing fire. I guess that the musicians didn't knew what Brixton Academy was, thinking that like the gym of Tottenham, where most Congolese bands used to perform beside Stratford Rex.
I'm sure that most people showed up at 2 in the night like most concerts in Brussels and Paris, not knowing that the concert would end at 00:00 in the night. Sad that only 4.000 showed up instead of selling out the whole venue that has 8.400 seats. Congolese artists had to focus on filling Forest National when the Zenith, Olympia and Bercy were over after 2002.
yes, because the contract they signed was just for 1 year. Wemba had already a huge fanbase and Viva La Musica was a stable band, was voted as best star of the year 1977 & 1978 and getting more respect in 1979 before joining Afrisa, because of the way he started to experiment with his music (for example the song Bon Samaritain).
