Jules Shungu Wembadio Pene Kikumba, commonly known as Papa Wemba (June 14, 1949 - April 24, 2016), was a Congolese musician, known for working in the Congolese rumba (later known as soukous) genre.
He was one of Africa's most popular musicians of the period and prominent in world music. He has been dubbed the "King of Rumba".
[1] He suffered a seizure while performing in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and died on 24 April 2016.[2]

Its is good to know when to quit the stage, retirement is not a bad thing.

But why must bbc use his past criminal acts to publicise his death. White always find a ways to talk bad about Africans.

RIP papa wemba.

Bless you!
As an aside: While we sit here being tribalistic and distracted, and pulling each other down, the white man assists by painting us black and evil. Dailymail and BBC rarely report good tidings from Africa, or about Blacks. Our news media should make it a goal to revamp Africas image. We are not criminals, drug dealers, corrupt and lazy. We are strong, intelligent, progressive and hard-working. We are creative.
Nigerians in particular. We are a great people. Our Armed forces are tough and successful in the battle against terror.
We should note: ever since our govt has backed off the romance with the west, now we have Amnesty International, UN, World Bank, and all other western controlled international organisations giving false and damning reports on Nigeria. They ask us to borrow, they ask us to devalue, they dictate, and our govt says no. Then they start their campaign, to have us against each other. Rather than rebuke them, we praise them. Remember how they refused to sell Arms to us, yet they are quick to report and account how Boko Haram was winning, and sensationalizing the Chibok girls issue.
We dont need them, they want us to be their puppets. Lets remember how Ghadaffi was murdered with UNs backing, Patrice Lumumba, and other Pan-Africanists who had big and good plans for Africa.
We need to wake up.

Rip.
this is what happens when one fails to retire from youthful ventures, he ought not to be on stage performing at 66.
I just hope Charlie boy and others will learn from this terrible event.
What a joke undecided

RIP to a great African musician!!
Your melody laden tune made me to love Sokous music more. We partied a lot dancing your music in Southern Germany in early 2000s.
Your influence on younger Congolese like Fally, Gorre, Defao and Awilo keeps your musical footprint on earth alive.
Although i cannot speak Lingala language, but through your music i learnt the meaning of 'Bolingo', which means love.
May your soul rest in peace, King of African music!!

Ok that's good Ishilove. If i am not mistaken, i have up to 47 selected tracks of Papa wemba. Koffi Olomide is uncountable because i have most of his albums right from 80's till date. DRC,Zaire,Senegal,Mali,cote d'ivoire,etc do good music. I don't do Nija music apart from some selected high life.
