Lokua Kanza pays tribute to Congo music icon Papa Wemba

Three days of commemorations have begun in the Democratic Republic of Congo to celebrate the life of Papa Wemba.

Thousands have turned out to pay their respects to the Congolese soukous star who died suddenly last week in Ivory Coast.

The 麻豆社's Maud Jullien speaks to singer-songwriter Lokua Kanza who was at the ceremony.
