The artists are of course not alone in expressing their sadness, many fans also pay a vibrant tribute to the queen of Mutuashi.
(8/13) Tshala Muana wrote most of her own songs and, unlike most Zairians who sing in Lingala and play the rumba and its accelerated derivative (the soukous), Tshala Muana will focus on the “mutuashi” rhythm and sing in their mother tongue. pic.twitter.com/0eSlgsaUG4
