In addition, Papa Wemba set out to create his group, Viva la Musica. This new band’s name was suggested to him in 1974 when he attended a concert in Kinshasa that featured the New York-based Latinos, “Fania All-Stars“.
Moreover, During the concert, one of the singers would shout to the audience “Viva La Musica!” with an enthusiastic response Wemba’s vision was to structure Viva la Musica around young, talented but largely unknown artists, including the singer Prince Espérant, Jadot “le Cambodgien” Sombele, Debaba el Shabab, Pepe Bipoli and Petit Aziza, and various guitarists such as Rigo Star, Syriana, and Bongo Wende.
