THE PEOPLE'S DARLING

November 01, 2024 - 08:59 PM M'BILIA BEL, EVERY AUDIENCE DARLING A local car dealership in town only has female receptionists. At the entrance what first strikes an entrant is the striking beauty in their faces. They are elegantly dressed and beaming infectious gorgeous smiles. Motoring is generally a man's thing. Every motorsport competition event has more male than female participants and male students dominate an automotive engineering class. Why then would a car dealership parade ladies at its reception? There is magic in a woman that can be used to grab the attention of a male-dominated audience. That's the wand that Marie-Claire Mboyo aka M’bilia Bel was to bring to an Afrisa stage. After the......

THE RISE OF M'BILIA BEL

October 31, 2024 - 08:15 PM One day, Pascal-Emmanuel Sinamoyi Tabu, known as Tabuley Rochereau, was seated at home watching television when a young lady singer appeared on the screen. This lady was M'bilia Bel, during her time with Sam Mangwana. At that moment, Tabuley was penning a new song titled "Mpeve ya Longo" and was eager to find a female vocalist for it. After seeing her perform on television, he sent for M'bilia Bel. However, she was not interested; her ten years in the Zairean music industry had left a bad taste in her mouth. She turned down Rochereau's offer, stating that music was no longer appealing to her. Despite her initial reluctance, repeated persuasion from friends and acquaintances, who recognized......
