Marking Papa Wemba's anniversary

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

It's one year since the famous Congolese Rumba musician died while performing during a music festival in Ivory Coast. His fellow countryman, the singer, Lokua Kanza, played a major role in his career by writing and producing some of Papa Wemba's biggest hits. He's been talking to the Âé¶¹Éç's Ata Ahli Ahebla about the loss of his friend.
