Brève description / annotation

Gilbert Aonga Ebolu, an admirer of Chantal Kazadi, a famous Congolese singer at the turn of the 60s and 70s, is investigating his mysterious disappearance. He sheds light on the all-too-brief life of this artist-musician of exceptional talent and atypical voice. Thanks to the invaluable testimonies of witnesses from his time and his own imagination, he succeeds in elucidating the reasons for his tragic death. Based on his in-depth research, the author can confidently conclude that there was evidence of a plot to eliminate him. Wrongly imprisoned by the Kinshasa military court, he was executed in secret along with other musicians. Forty years after the tragedy, this vibrant tribute is a fine way of restoring his stolen dignity.
